#7A | Presentation Case Pyhäjoki<br>
--------------------------------<br>
<br>
‘Case Pyhäjoki – Artistic reflections on nuclear influence’ was a
trans-disciplinary artistic expedition, production workshop and
presentation events on the 31st of July to the 12th of August 2013,
in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, Finland, where the sixth nuclear
power plant of Finland was planned to be built at Hanhikivi Cape in
Pyhäjoki. The aim of the project was to explore artistic
perspectives on the vast changes planned in Pyhäjoki, through the
planning of a nuclear power plant at the site, and this way of
considering energy production and consuming in the world. Artists
can not only reflect upon and depict social phenomena and
socio-economical relations, but can also situate themselves in
between politics, activism and science. Can art make changes? If so,
what would be the creative tools of activism? <br>

#7.B | Workshop DIY Geiger Counter<br>
----------------------------------<br>
<p>Learn how to make a Geiger Counter and measure the radiation
caused by nature or human activities. Artists Martin Howse and
Erich Berger have designed an easy to build Geiger Counter for
Case Pyhäjoki, and have made a "Geiger Counter building manual"
based on this design. The manual is available at <a

BIOGRAPHIES<br>
-----------<br>
<br>
Mari Keski-Korsu is an trans-disciplinary artist. She explores how
ecological and socio-economical changes manifest in people’s
everyday life. How macrocosm becomes microcosm and visa versa? Her
works have a political nature with a humorous twist. Often, the
starting point of the work is in location, a place and people’s
relations to it and collaborations with different kinds of
communities and individuals. Keski-Korsu’s practise is for example
interventions, documentary, performance, virtual worlds,
photography, live visualisations and installations as well as
mixtures of all these media. She is interested in relations in
between art, activism, politics and science.<a

Erich Berger is a visual artist and trained as a communication
engineer and in philosophy. He has produced interactive art
installations, artistic wearable interfaces, audiovisual
performances and sound-art, which have been shown internationally
since the mid 90ties. He also works as educator, curator, content
developer and facilitator, focusing on the intersection of art,
technology and science. Research interests include telerobotics
and telematically mediated environments, interactive participatory
spaces, sonification and visualisation of real-time processes with
related questions in composition, semiotics and linguistics,
generative processes, feedback situations and autopoietic
systems. His research engages with hybrid space, deep time
processes, biology and ecology and involves the facilitation of
interdisciplinary environments for working and learning. His
research also includes close cooperation with international
partners within the arts and sciences.<a
