Media and video art

Kari Yli-Annala

Artist / researcher

I’m Kari Yli-Annala (b. 1965), a Helsinki-based artist, researcher, coordinator and instructor/lecturer in experimental moving images.

During my stay at the Saari Residence I will write an English-language article on Finnish avant-garde cinema. I’ll also work on two video projects, a collection of audiovisual aphorisms and a video work entitled Circadian clock (Sirkadinen kello). One of my main projects at the moment is the Nomadic Academy for Experimental Arts (Kokeellisten taiteiden nomadinen akatemia), a teacher’s and artists’ group that will get together for the first time early in 2010.
