Pixels, extra lives and self-portraits.
The works in the exhibition derive their content from the bitmap graphics of the gaming world, the childhood spent beside the screen and the identity problems of a growing player. They consist of drawings, plastic bead mosaics, prints and a game installation.
Timo Höyssä is a draftsman whose self-portrait series examines the player's identity – to which extent the internal world of games is able to merge with the physical aspects of life?
Ilai Elias Lehto multimaterialist interested in installations. His constructed game world includes pixelated aspects of reality and fantasy, and exposes the player to think about the preconditions and absurdities found in the gaming world and in life.
Both artists are TAMK Fine Arts second year students.
