Fine art – Moving Image Productions – TAMK

Three music bands from TAMK have been nominated to participate in the EXCITE Project.

Loud Lights, Rawbeena and F.U.N.C. are the three bands eligible to participate in the EXCITE Project representing Finland. These three bands have been formed by students of Media and Arts program.

The Excite project is a collaboration between nine organizations from nine different European countries that exchange young musical talent across European borders. The participating organizations are all about supporting young upcoming bands, and with Excite, they want to give bands their first European touring experience. This is achieved by working together with a selection of festivals from the participating countries. In that manner, 20 playing opportunities for 12 bands across 9 countries are created, providing the selected bands with an invaluable networking opportunity and a chance to gain experience.

TAMK (Media and Arts program) and Lost In Music festival are cooperating in Finland to provide a perfect base for exchanging, supporting and educating young talent (both artists and producers) participating in Excite.

Sovjet Spying Radio Telescope

IslandCQ is a yearly international trip for Media students around the world full of workshops and lectures. This year it took place near Irbene, an abandoned Sovjet ghost town and spy center in Latvia. Students mainly from the Netherlands, Hungary, Latvia and Finland participated.

Particularly interesting was a workshop about using Arduino chips. While originally intending to make a t-shirt collecting data about the person who wears it, we ended up creating special musical instruments.

With reference to Dziga Vertov’s seminal 1929 documentary film ‘Man with a Movie Camera’, the aim is for the project to document the city, the people that live there and their daily lives.

Photographic exhibitions are most often presented us as prints inside a gallery space. Backlight Photo Festival made an exception this year by introducing part of the exhibition as an outdoor screening. Selection of the exhibition works were taken around the Pirkanmaa region and projected on walls of buildings. This way the exhibition reached a new audience. Backlight Screening was also a good way to promote the main exhibition.
