Mosh
16.2. – 6.3.2011
Galleria Huuto Uudenmaankatu
“Mosh” deals with the aesthetics of modern urban planning through the beauty of data errors. I have hacked the code in video and photo files showing the posh seafront residential district of Aurinkolahti in Helsinki. I looked for the most amazing pixel errors possible. The pride of the area, the Uutela Canal, became a digital earthquake. While working with the material, I was reflecting on how urban planning controls nature and how the traces of the architect’s software can be seen in our environment. Perhaps we need some glitches to enrich the townscape…?
