Square Archive, parts 4-6 – Mediahits consists of three different soundscapes. The sounds were recorded in three different locations that gained media attention during spring and summer 2013. In spring 2013 horse meat was found somewhere it shouldn’t be found, the first petition in Finland against fur farms was declined and the waste water pond of Talvivaara mining company just didn’t seem to hold.

The work can be heard in a dark gallery space. Pile of materials before the set up.

Square Archive is an on going sound art project by Jemina Lindholm and Elina Ylhäisi that started on fall 2012. The previous parts of the archive have been heard for example in a sauna. In November 2014 Square Archive will be exhibited in Gallery Titanik in Turku, Finland.

The exhibition is open 8.6.-17.8.2014 every day (also on Midsummer) from 11am to 18pm. 
Entrance fees 10 / 8 / 2 €.

In the game, a young Sámi child, Áilu, gets mixed up with this endless hunt and accidentally initiates the end of the world.“ Students have been working hard over the summer with various projects and internships. One project in focus is project Skábma – Polar Night, originally titled “Kaamos.” A project which began during a game minor module in 2015, has now been developed into a fully-fledged project. The initial project was too big for the students to finish and they were unable to reach their goals. However, everything has a silver lining. Red Stage Entertainment then picked up the project several years later and are now working with some of the original creators. Skábma is a 3D low-poly game developed in Unity. The team of
