Re:**** Sitruuna ja meduusa Audiovisual installation by visual artist Merja Nieminen and sound artist James Andean, which was presented at Galleria Aarni, in Espoo, Finland, in February 2011. The installation constructs a 'live' dynamic system, comprised of projected 3D graphics and projected sound, creating a virtual environment or ecosystem which changes and evolves in real-time. It explores the capacity of the spectator to create relationships – to build worlds – from multiple sensory information.

By touching the screen the musician conducts the sound while the animator launches new layers of images. The performance takes place in a gallery space.

Alan01 installation The multimedia art work Alan01 / AlanOnline – co-created by Teemu Korpilahti, Merja Nieminen and Jaakko Pesonen – wakes up the in 1952 criminally convicted Alan Turing as a piece of code within the art work – thus fulfilling Turing’s own vision of preserving human consciousness in a computer.
Audio visual concert / Tanabata Tanabata is a collaboration with Eva Alkula and Pekka Kuusisto. We created an audiovisual concert based on an oriental folktale Tanabata which is a beautiful love story. Alkula's instrument is kantele and Kuusisto's violin. Both play electronic and acoustic versions of their instrument in this piece. Marko Myöhänen is the maestro of nuances of sound behind the mixing table.
