Avanto 2001, the second annual
Helsinki Media Art Festival, presents an eclectic, undogmatic
mix of experimental music and moving image. Despite the variety
of artists, many share a common critical attitude towards the
prescribed uses of technology in the best traditions of radical
media art. From the minimal sounds of the onkyo school to the
recontextualization of mainstream visual culture, Avanto once
again offers hardcore experimentalism combined with liberating
laughter and arctic madness.
Avanto - Helsinki Media Art Festival is organized
by Team Avanto, a group of independent organizers, in co-operation
with the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art and the Finnish Film
Archive.
