DESCRIPTION:My idea was to build lovely looking green houses that would mak
 e the Kuusi Palaa space look nicer and also provide herbs and food. Also i
 f people just wanted to build something for their own home use. To share i
 deas how a greenhouse should work or could look like and what can be grown
 / sharing the seeds and ideas.\n

DESCRIPTION:\nThe renowned artist Stelarc is visiting Helsinki and has agre
 ed to spend an informal afternoon with us at Kuusipalaa on the 16th of Apr
 il 15h.\n\nStelarc will start with a presentation ART IN THE LAB AND THE 
 LANDSCAPE: Problematics and Possibilities after which we will have ample t
 ime for questions and discussion about the talk and his work and thinking 
 in general before we had out for dinner together.\n\nStelarc explores alte
 rnate anatomical architectures\, interrogating issues of agency\, identity
  and the posthuman. He has performed with a Third Hand\, a Stomach Sculptu
 re and Exoskeleton\, a 6-legged walking robot.  Fractal Flesh\, Ping Body
  and Parasite are internet performances that explore remote and involuntar
 y choreography. He is surgically constructing and stem-cell growing an ear
  on his arm that will be internet enabled. In 1996 he was made an Honorary
  Professor of Art and Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University\, Pittsburgh 
 and in 2002 was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws by Monash University
 \, Melbourne. In 2010 was awarded the Ars Electronica Hybrid Arts Prize. I
 n 2015 he received the Australia Council’s Emerging and Experimental Art
 s Award. In 2016 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the Ionian Univ
 ersity\, Corfu. Stelarc is currently a Distinguished Research Fellow\, Sch
 ool of Design and Art\, Curtin University. His artwork is represented by S
 cott Livesey Galleries\, Melbourne.\n\nART IN THE LAB AND THE LANDSCAPE: P
 roblematics and Possibilities\n\nBioArt has been a highly mediated art for
 m that is displayed through microscopes\, as wall projections and with gla
 ss-ware installations. Cells are not directly visible and are contained in
  petri dishes or flasks. Often contamination of the living artwork occurs.
  The living\, or more correctly termed\, partially living artwork needs to
  be sustained in customized incubators and fed with nutrients. Until we ca
 n stem-cell grow or 3D print slimy\, twitching terratoma-like objects that
  we can hold and caress\, the aesthetic and visceral impact will remain di
 minished\, in the realm of the concept and design rather than the material
 ity of the object. Another broader issue is that BioArt is under the umbre
 lla of the art-as-research paradigm. The problem here is that it becomes a
 n institutionalized authentication of arts practice validated by incorpora
 ting scientific lab protocols and practice. But BioArt has diversified and
  now also moved out of the lab into the landscape and away from the restri
 ctive regulations of operating in institutions. The problematics of BioArt
  practice in labs are being bypassed for new possibilities elsewhere.\n\nI
 mage Ear on Arm by Nina Sellars\n\nStelarc's visit to Helsinki is supporte

 \, MA in Ecology and Contemporary Performance\, the Academy of Fine Arts)\
 , Aalto University School of Arts\, Design and Architecture\, Bioart Socie

DESCRIPTION:+++INTRODUCTION+++\n\nDuring this two-day workshop\, you will e
 xplore the direct relationship between sound and image.\n\nUsing the Pure 
 Data programming environment\, you can directly control the vertical and h
 orizontal movements\, as well as the brightness\, of a beam of light. You 
 will then explore Lissajous figures\, 3D models\, Rutt-Etra video scan pro
 cessing\, and other audio-driven visual shapes and forms which can be disp
 layed and manipulated in real time on an XY oscilloscope\, or with oscillo
 scope emulating software directly on your laptop.\n\nVECTOR SYNTHESIS is a
 n audiovisual\, computational art project using sound synthesis and vector
  graphics display techniques to investigate the direct relationship betwee
 n sound+image. It draws on the historical work of artists such as Mary Ell
 en Bute\, John Whitney\, Nam June Paik\, Ben Laposky\, and Steina &amp\; W
 oody Vasulka among many others\, as well as on ideas of media archaeology 
 and the creative re-use of obsolete technologies.\n\n+++PARTICIPATION+++\n
 \nThe participation fee for this workshop is EUR 50\, with a 10% discount 
 for Kuusi Palaa members. The workshop runs from 11:00 to 17:00 each day.\n

DESCRIPTION:New media technologies are dependent on energy and material res
 ources. Especially for mobile and handheld devices\, batteries today const
 itute the primary backbone of portable energy storage and supply. Despite 
 over decades of research\, they remain assemblages of messy chemicals\, ha
 zardous\, black-boxed and subject to thermal runaways. This talk excavates
  the battery as a key component of media technologies\, that not by itself
  can be considered media for dataflows\, but without which media cannot op
 erate nor exist. How is the battery’s obsolescence tied to modern media 
 and its throwaway origins? Why and how hardware design came to conceal it 
 and how software today merely provides a surface tweak? From mining to man
 ufacturing to toxic landfills\, what are the materialities of the battery
 ’s contemporary life-cycle in the so-called circular economy? By a thoro
 ugh excavation\, Samir Bhowmik contends that a historical and technologica
 l understanding of portable energy storage is critical to shaping an envir
 onmentally-ethical future of new media.\n\nBhowmik will also present the C
 ommunity Power Bank (CPB) workshops at Pixelache Helsinki in 2015–16.The
  project recycled Lithium 18650 batteries with community participation and
  re- purposed them to build power banks for handheld media devices. The wo
 rkshops were conducted at the Museum of Photography and at the OSCE (Open 
 Source Circular Economy) Days in Helsinki\, Finland.\n\nThe lecture will b
 e streamed live via Korppiradio (korppiradio.net) together with radio prog
 ramme related to the talk's theme.\n\nKeywords: communication\, battery\, 
 energy\, lithium\, obsolescence\, portable computing\, e-waste\, environme
 nt\, mining\n\nArtist Bio: Samir Bhowmik (b. 1975) is an artist\, architec
 t and researcher. He is currently engaged in art installations in Helsinki
  and Berlin along with post-doctoral research at the Institute for Musicol
 ogy and Media Studies\, Humboldt University-Berlin. Samir graduated as a D
 octor of Arts in New Media from the Media Lab of Aalto University\, Finlan
 d. His artistic and research practice focuses on media infrastructures\, e
 cological media and digital memory. He is supported by the Finnish Cultura
 l Foundation since 2017.\n\nThe lecture kickstarts the BioSignals project\
 , a series of site-specific sound art\, narrations and nature-based data s
 treams by human and non-human cultural producers during Summer-Autumn 2018
 \, culminating with a contribution to the next Pixelache Helsinki Festival
  in Spring 2019. The artistic content of the project will focus on creativ
 e and actual interpretations of biosemiotics\, energy as media and communi
 cation. Biosemiotics is an increasingly influential paradigm of thinking w
 hich brings together biology and communication\, signs and signals of life
  in its myriad forms. In particular it offers conceptual tools to consider
  communications and environmental meaning-making from a non-human perspect
 ive\, including plant and lichens\, animal\, bacterial\, elemental interac
 tors\, via tactile\, aural and signal-based biochemical means. The BioSign
 als project is part of Pixelache Helsinki's Parasite Radio process\, in co
 llaboration with Korppiradio\, and financially supported by Nordisk Kultur
 kontakt Art and Culture programme.\n\nhttp://www.pixelache.ac/projects/bio

DESCRIPTION:Vesa Heilala has booked a spaceflight from Virgin Galactic in 2
 010. At Kuusi palaa evening he will tell you about his childhood dream whi
 ch is go to space. In 2010 it was estimated that Vesa's flight will be 201
 3\, but it did not happen. Vesa is not unhappy because of this longer wait
 ing time\, because it has made him possible to do some interesting things.
 \n\nVesa's will show videos and pictures from spaceflight\, Spaceport Amer
 ica\, Zero-G flight\, Rocket-Car\, Wife carrying contest\, 100 km walk and
  G-force training. In this presentation you will see a short history of sp
 ace travel from 1961 - 2018 and also some ideas of the future space travel
 . Vesa's presentation will give you some thinking of dreaming and also som
 e fun moments are guaranteed:). All this will take your time about 60 minu
 tes. After presentation we can have discussion and you buy Rocket-Boxers f
 rom Vesa. (20 EUR).\n\nYou can also follow Vesa at:\nhttps://www.suomalain

DESCRIPTION:Winogradsky days - culturing microorganisms the Winogradsky way
  is a workshop with Kira O'Reilly and organized by the Bioartsociety. The 
 workshop will take place during the afternoons of 5th and 12th of May. The
 re is a limited amount of participants so please register until 23rd of Ap
 ril.\n\nWinogradsky Columns are a method of culturing diverse communities 
 of microorganisms in a closed environment and for understanding microbial 
 ecologies through observation of them as organise themselves into distinct
  layers depending on their nutrient requirements.\n\nDuring the workshop w
 e create a number of columns using materials from the local Helsinki surro
 undings ie soil\, water\, and add and experiment with various combinations
  of nutrients that will advantage the proliferation of different kinds mic
 ro-organisms.\n\nIt takes a long time to see the different strata of micro
 -organisms in Windogradsky columns\, as we get our hands wet and muddy we 
 will use this as a departure point from which to talk about the environmen
 ts and eco-systems we are part of\, in terms of scale both physical and te
 mporal\, and different ways our columns  might function\, as environmenta
 l portraits\, metabolising archives\, durational sculptures\, social plann
 ing for micro-organism communities\, bacterial architecting etc.\n\nWe are
  planning for a third session to meet again in the fall to view and discus
 s the established columns.\n\n#microorganisms #soil #water #metabolism #en

DESCRIPTION:How we feel\, what we feel\, even what we think\, is a direct f
 unction of our bodily chemistry. Our organism is reducible to cells and th
 ese cells\, as well as spaces between them\, are reducible to chemical ele
 ments.\nThere are two ways we are creating/affecting our bodily chemistry.
 \nOne is by in taking substances from the environment and the other is by 
 the movement of the bodily matter (intentional or unintentional\, constant
  or occasional movements and thoughts).\nSo our health and wellbeing depen
 d on what comes in through our mouth\, lungs and skin and on what is happe
 ning with our body-mind.\n\nThe Body-Mind hub is imagined to be a place wh
 ere you can get your daily intake of healthy food and activities.\nThis pi
 lot session is meant to have a taste of the concept\, discuss it and devel
 op it.\n\nBreakfast\n\nThere is a number of chemical elements and compound
 s that we have to intake in sufficient quantities every day in order to ma
 intain the health of our physical body. Most of them can be found in parti
 cular plants we use for food and we will eat most of them for breakfast an
 d discuss healthy nutrition.\n\nMeditation (*meditation is any activity th
 at stimulates awareness)\n\nOur metabolism\, as a result of physical and m
 ental activity\, produces some amount of waste\, that is then extracted fr
 om our system in various ways. If that waste\, some of which acts as a poi
 son for our cells while some clogs our vessels\, stays and accumulates in 
 our system\, we feel bad\, tired\, unhappy\, depressed...\nPhysical and me
 ntal wastes interact and add to each other\, producing each other and feed
 ing on each other\, exacerbating each other.\nWhat can we do intentionally
  with our body\, and mind\, which is one of the same\, to stimulate extrac
 tion of waste from our system?\nThere are exercises and practices that sti
 mulate these processes\, while at the same time filling us with energy and
  enhancing active brain capacity. We will try some of them and discuss the
 ir potential in bettering our overall wellbeing.\n

 it could and most of us\, stakeholders\, not taking much responsibility in
  running it collectively. I think KP is an amazing concept\, but I feel wh
 y many of us have not been that active is because we don't really know eac
 h other and we don't know what it is we are running collectively and who w
 e are running it with.\n\nLet's change that! Let's all come together at KP
  on a Friday evening\, get to know each other\, bring our ideas together a
 nd get a better collective understanding of what it is we got ourselves in
 to when purchasing stakes at KP.\n\nI don't really know what kind of activ

 ther\, so please propose your ideas for this evening\, let's plan this eve

 and paint as long as they want. Children under the age of 8 can take part 
 with a parent.\n\nThe workshops are free of charge and we will provide the
  participants with the paints\, brushes and protective gear.\n\nSome ideas
  for the piece were collected from the citizens throughout the spring\, an

DESCRIPTION:As of 25 May 2018\, the new EU privacy law (GDPR) will become e
 nforceable\, affecting artists and cultural activists just as much as big 
 corporations. While businesses work out the fine balance between collectin

 ven having privacy-relevant issues on your site?\n\nDuring this hands-on e
 vening\, we discuss where our websites (often unknowingly\; be ready to be
  surprised!) aggregate or leak user data and together work on solutions to
  protect our users' privacy to the max. This is not a GDPR seminar and def
 initely no binding legal advice\, but an experimental hacking event for ac
 tive webizens concerned about privacy first and legal compliance second. A
 s the title promises\, the goal is to take it to the extreme: challenging 
 "common practices" and pushing the boundaries.\n\nThe event's format is id
 eation\, exchange\, co-working and creative hacking. The facilitator bring
 s along some privacy and GDPR background\, tools and strategies - we all f
 ire up the code editors and make things happen. Everybody assists each oth
 er - tech skills should not be a limitation for participation! A blog post
  will document the achievements.\n

 xplore the direct relationship between sound and image.\n\nUsing the Pure 
 Data programming environment\, you can directly control the vertical and h
 orizontal movements\, as well as the brightness\, of a beam of light. You 
 will then explore Lissajous figures\, 3D models\, Rutt-Etra video scan pro
 cessing\, and other audio-driven visual shapes and forms which can be disp
 layed and manipulated in real time on an XY oscilloscope\, or with oscillo
 scope emulating software directly on your laptop.\n\nVECTOR SYNTHESIS is a
 n audiovisual\, computational art project using sound synthesis and vector
  graphics display techniques to investigate the direct relationship betwee

DESCRIPTION:An evening of out sounds from the UK\, Helsinki and elsewhere.\
 n\nStarring Jon Collin (UK/Stockholm):\nJon Collin is a guitar player from
  Lancashire\, UK\, currently based in Sweden. On record he plays either im
 provised freeform abstract blues or through-composed minimalistic utilitar
 ian drone music. His live shows are improvisations using a system of body\
 , mind\, breath\, strings and electricity. His most recent LP is The Natur
 e (Early Music\; 2017).\n\n"Acoustic string improvs of great abstraction\,
  clangor and depth\, recalling a certain vibe that Loren Connors once call
 ed his own\, although there's no aping here. Lots of dizzy inventions of c
 lustered strings that manage to maintain a certain melodic beauty for all 
 their weirdness. There are even bits of wobbled slide and sustain that rec
 all Fahey at his loosest. Totally boss." – Byron Coley\n\nwith:\n\nPehme
 ät Mummot (Helsinki)\nThe music of Mummot derives from Bach's preludes\, 
 taking recognisable melodies as its starting point. These are played\, loo
 ped\, and varied with a touch of improvisation on a keyboard and then work
 ed through\, transformed\, and twisted by synthesisers. The result is a mi
 xture of throwback sounds of early futuristic ambient and electronic pop\,
  with its roots in classical music.\n\n&amp\;\n\nBoom Edan (Helsinki)\nMan
 y sounds being played at the same time by one man\, words too.\n\n+ presen
 tation of the Winogradsky Columns workshop happening earlier in the day\n

DESCRIPTION:Helsinki-based sound art and experimental music association Ä
 änen Lumo will host an open discussion concentrating on some current issu
 es of its field(s). Mind you\, the discussion is geared towards issues of 
 particularly practical nature.\n\nSome underlying and from time to time su
 rfacing themes 'in the scene' have been:\na) lack/want/problems of collabo
 ration between different operators\nb) intersectionality\nc) lack of space
 s/resources/money\nd) development of communication methods between operato
 rs\n\nIn fact to rephrase\, I would also like to ask: are these the issues
  that need to be discussed? Or: are there more pressing issues that need t
 o be discussed? Or: are there any issues whatsoever?\n\nIf you associate y
 ourself as someone who is connected to these activities and feels these su
 bjects are of interest\, please join the discussion!\n\nMore info soon\, m
 aybe.\n\nRegards\,\nLauri Hyvärinen / Äänen Lumo\n

DESCRIPTION:This will be our first event of 2018 and will form part one of 
 a three part series. The second will take place in September and the third
  in January. This series of events is for all groups who are trying to wor
 k without (or with minimized) hierarchical structures: artistic collective
 s\, co-ops\, startups\, NGOs\, companies\, activist networks\, etc. Pixela
 che has for many years attempted to adapt such a decentralised mode. We ca
 me up with some of our own solutions that worked\, but still struggle with
  some basic issues.\n\nWe have realized that we are not alone with these s
 truggles\, and that those challenges are rather common to any group trying
  to work without a traditional command-and-control structure. How can we b
 e inclusive without spending all the time in meetings? How to deal with po
 wer imbalances? How to undo our programming and develop an open\, collabor
 ative culture?\n\nWe will approach this through practical workshops\, demo
 nstrations of tools we have found\, and analytical challenges.\n\nIn this 
 event we intend to make toothpaste\, continuing our work making face cream
  at last year's Pixelache festival. We will demonstrate the power of NextC
 loud as a method of avoiding reliance on Google for shared working. We wil
 l play decision-making games.\n\nWe encourage everyone to bring things to 
 eat and drink\; preferably (but not necessarily) things you have made your
 selves.\n

DESCRIPTION:UPDATE! Because the inner courtyard will be closed for construc
 tion the day of this event\, we will meet at Tokoinranta instead of at Kuu
 si Palaa\nhttps://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/60.18008/24.94105&amp\;lay
 ers=N\nWe will be somewhere between the statue and Cafe Piritta. I will pu
 t a sign on the gate to inform latecomers. Bring a picnic blanket if you h
 ave one!\n\nFree food and drink!\n\nThe future of the Kuusi Palaa project 
 will be open for debate and dialogue at this event. It is my belief that\,
  in response to the development of technologically mediated social relatio
 ns\, the Kuusi Palaa project has sought to address the value of face to fa
 ce interactions that generate a different kind of social relation. Through
  the creation of events\, encounters can result in interpersonal relations
 . This platform is another sort of technological mediation that aims to br
 ing individuals together in such encounters in a way that encourages novel
 ty and intimacy over repetition and a narcissistic conservatism. However\,
  the value of interpersonal relations can be extended beyond the face to f
 ace encounter. This valuation is a process rather than an established syst
 em\, and as such it requires participation to continue its existence. Ther
 e is no value in this system without participation\, without the productio
 n and sustainment of human relations. This event will continue the discuss
 ion of this process of valuation\, questioning how it might be broadened t
 hrough new expressions.\n\nBudgetary proposals for season 2 will be apprai
 sed and fundraising for season 2 stakes will also be discussed.\n

DESCRIPTION:I'm Too Busy is a board game where players travel around Helsin
 ki living their lives while trying to collaboratively open new cultural in
 itiatives. You will have a job\, go to work\, attend art/culture events\, 
 and pool your resources to create new culture spaces. Along the way you mi
 ght fall in love\, get (or not get) public funding\, become burned out\, e
 at pizza\, get caught by HSL ticket inspectors\, meditate in the forest\, 
 go to karaoke bars\, and/or run out of money. I'm Too Busy is a game that 
 encourages mild role-playing behaviour. All ages are welcome\, though pare
 nts should be advised that the game does contain some problematic content 
 such as alcohol use\, sexual promiscuity\, and arts association board meet
 ings.\n\nThe game was designed by the Biathlon development team as a playf
 ul way to stimulate discussion and interaction about city life\, cultural 
 ventures\, organising\, and possibilities. Thus\, each session of the game
  is more like a workshop\, or perhaps a therapy session. The game is still
  in development and has been tested in two iterations so far\; this will n
 ot necessarily be the 'final' version.\n\nAt Kuusi Palaa (which is a space
  on the board!)\, we'd like to run a session of the game for 6-10 players.
  If the event proves popular\, we are happy to run future events as the ga
 me itself changes. The game should take roughly 60-90 minutes\, or possibl
 y longer depending on how many people play.\n

DESCRIPTION:Äänen Lumo &amp\; Mental Alaska present a workshop by German 
 composer Limpe Fuchs:\n\n"I invite the participants to play my instruments
  – 2 pendelstrings\, Serpentinit stone row\, 6 tube drums\, soprano kett
 ledrum and small percussion pieces – and they can bring their own instru
 ments.\n\nFirst I show possibilities of playing with the different tools a
 nd after a period of trying – everyone is allowed to – starts the “p
 laying or listening” :Only three are playing\, the others are listening.
  When all have played in different combinations\, we decide how to go on.\
 nIt is important to stay simple\, so that the instruments are treated with
  love and the skill of ones hands is not overstrained It has to be in bala
 nce between chaos and order.\n\nWhen surety of handling the tools and prec
 ision of listening is growing\, starts nonverbal communication with music.

DESCRIPTION:The art form of sound poetry brings together different forms of
  expression - written\, sonic\, visual\, physique - without placing restri
 ctions on meaning or structure. Therefore\, a sound poetry event can also 
 bring together artists - both professional and amateur - from different fi
 elds\, to form collaboration and learn from each other. Previous sound poe
 try events in Helsinki - like the University of Helsinki Sound Poetry Cour
 se that took place in spring 2018\, and the workshop organized in the Goet
 he Institute with the Berlin Sound Poets quartet - have already introduced
  the field and formed a loose group of connoisseurs and performers. This e
 vent hopes to bring together that group and hopefully expand it\, to plan 
 future performances and brainstorm ideas.\n\nThere is only one wrong way t
 o do sound poetry - and that is to NOT do it! Welcome all!\n
