Under Construction
Exhibition by Saimaa UAS Fine Art Students
December 13 - January 24 2013
Mon-Fri 12-16
Finlaysoninkuja 3


On December the 12th the exhibition “Under Construction” opens at TAMK’s Ikuinen Galleria. The artists of the exhibition are the art students from Saimia University of Applied Sciences and the exhibition is result from the collaboration of both Imatra and Tampere art departments.

The idea behind the exhibition is to have a look at what’s happening in the art field today in the art departments around Finland. The collaboration between the TAMK and Saimia art students began last summer when the both universities had an art fair together in Stockfors, Pyhtää. The project tries to create collaboration between the art departments while the art education is been ran down. There are already been discussions on the next art attack, this time the students of TAMK will have their exhibition in Imatra.

In the Under Construction-exhibition there will be art pieces from nine art students. There are going to be traditional as well as digital paintings, installations, digital photography, prints and sculptures.

The openings will be at Ikuinen Galleria at Wednesday the 12th on December (12.12.2012) at 4pm. The exhibition will be open until the 24th of January. The gallery is closed due the holidays 22.12.2012-6.1.2013.

Slush is a two days start-up conference which was organized this year at the old Cable Factory in Helsinki. This year the Media program sent a small delegation of students and a teacher to participate in the first day of slush, which included the SyysGraph event (the Finnish SIGGRAPH autumn event) and the first glance to the new Jolla’s “Sailfish” Mobile OS User Interface.

Tens of start-ups stands, hundreds of presentations, from Nokia, through HTML5 games to new recycling technologies. But what was definitely the most significant presenter for us was Jolla Mobile’s creative director and the design staff members.

HTML5 is the future, also in games

For a quite long time people around the globe are waiting to see what this small Finnish company will come up with, especially since the Jolla employees insist to keep their product’s look and features as a secret as possible. We tried to go to Jolla Mobile's stand to ask what for more information about this new mobile operating system, but all we got for an answer was free stickers, a sour Finnish face and a tagline, “It’s unlike”.

Another remarkable showcase during SyysGraph was the Kinected stories, an interactive storybook for children using Kinect technology and designed by former TAMK Media student Mari Huhtanen.

The delegation’s members were happy with the Helsinkian hospitality at Slush, even though an violence incident almost occurred when we came to the understanding that alcoholic drinks will not be served this year.
