The Magic of the Analogue. Nomadic Academy of Experimental Arts, May 4-8 – second glimpses

It’s been a while, but yes: Harakka Island Radio broadcast in Finland in May 2022 from the small island of the same name just three minutes by boat from the centre of Helsinki. The broadcasts were exclusively analogue via a small (approved!) FM transmitter.

The magic of analogue was also captured in pictures. Using a panoramic camera of Russian provenance, Mme Schaffner exposed some old 35mm films. Only recently did she have the opportunity to take them to the laboratory. Et voilà: Here are the ‘light drawings’ of the island of Harakka!

Workshop “Au travers du miroir”
Not yet confirmed but metaphorically in the air is a workshop about the plants of the Wiels swamp lands in cooperation with the local community center, by Ms Schaffner. We will ‘oscillate’ between micro plant scapes, memory and the seismographies of our drawing hands.
