Photo by: Sjors Hoogerdijk is a cross-media artist based in Helsinki, with a BA from Minerva (NL) and a MFA in Time and space art from the University of the Arts Helsinki, with works that have been exhibited in shows in Finland, Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands and Germany. Specialised in sound and installation art and with a research focus on the language of interaction and narratives. With an affection for sound and the design of electronics, hand building audio and interactive installations. The work uses issues of the day to day to give context to bigger subjects of our age. Re-contextualising a narrative and identity to give light on the self and their surroundings. With an approach that stands back and reviews the conceptual ideas in artworks- trying to reshape what art can be for an audience and how it should work for you. Using the work as a pedagogic tool, something for the viewer to transpose or emulate into their daily practice by mediating their look on situations and objects.

My practice is in audio installation as conceptual sculptures, researching the ways technology can be used as analogs for communication. Giving perspective by taking a step back and comparing different ways of discourse to each other. Reading the manual or working language of one system as a script to use by another as a pedagogical tool to gain insight.
