Installation video documentations

Here are all the installation documentation videos that I’ve so far converted to be viewed online.

Note that all the possible viewing problems are in the YouTube service. If the video clip may stall while watching, just click a notch forward in the timeline and it should play fine.

The Bear Project

Soap Factory, Minneapolis, 2005

Information: I was wearing this bear costume while drinking beer in separated space. I was sitting there in a big comfy chair, watching self-made DVD-loop-collection with people doing different stuff wearing bear hoods and costumes. People were able to see me only through hazy surveillance camera image further away in a small monitor. The audience was at times furious beacuse “he was just sitting there”. Apparently I was supposed to be amusing people when in this sort of costume. There was two soundtracks: an electro msuic made by David Tolstoi and on the other space “Valkovuokot”, an old melancholic song by finnish singer Olavi Virta. The space I was sitting in was filled with mitns that gave the space distinctive aroma. Also, the wall was back projection cloth on which was projected an DVD loop with unhealthy food turning around, flowers and primarly, documentation with me and my friend driving “pilluralli” (“Pussy rally”) around the market square of Lahti, Finland. If you really looked, you were able to see me drinking beer and watching telly through that wall.
