"If you want to survive as a professional artist you must work passionately. Luckily the work itself is the artist’s passion." writes Mari Ljokkoi - one of our Fine Art graduates in the Himona exhibition publication.

Laura Laukkanen: Matter - site specific gelatine sculpture

Himona comes from the Finnish word himo which can be translated as passion, desire, lust, craving. The word himona also means plenty, a lot, much. In order to make art one must work like crazy and passionately.

Part one of the exhibition is now open at TR1 Kunsthalle, the second part will open after two weeks at Art Centre Mältinranta.

Two speaches first: Programme Leader Juha Suonpää and the supervisor of the exhibition, Senior Lecturer Minna Suoniemi (speaking)

Ninni Luhtasaari (in front) spoke on the behalf of the graduates...

...then the graduates awarded each others with humorous but accurate diplomas...

..and finally time to adorn the graduates with flowers and hugs!

Björn Stockleben from Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences Germany) will give the workshop “Collaborative Creation of Database Movies” April 23 and 25.

Björn Stockleben (centre) is familiar at our campus due to his presidency of the Nokia Ubimedia MindTrek Awards jury. Here he introduces winners of the competition 2009, Katrina Bekessy and Frank Alsema

Database Movies replace what we call the “final cut” with a dynamic ruleset that defines the order of the scenes and sequences in constant interaction with the viewer.

By agreeing on common aesthetic and dramaturgical rules, teams can collaboratively create massive nonlinear video landscapes, inviting the viewer to explore.

In this workshop you will learn the basics of nonlinear video structures and ways to visualize them for interaction.

We will create a collaborative database video consisting of a plethora of invidual clips linked by a ruleset. The video will be authored using the Korsakow authoring tool (www.korsakow.org)..

The registration for International Week workshops has started!

The second photography exhibition of our cinematography students is open in the giant drum washer at our main entrance this and next week.

This is their statement: 
"Same basis, different results.

At first there was the song "Wait" by M83. The song was the inspiration and from there we went to different directions. In the end we came together as an exhibition.

The exhibitors are third and fourth grade cinematography students from Tampere University of Applied Sciences."
