Introduction

  


Welcome to AvantoAkatemia 01!!!

This year we are offering four events, targeted for students and professionals from the fields of arts, media and sound. The featured artists are farmersmanual and [The User], both participating in this years Avanto - Helsinki Media Art Festival.

On the two brunch sessions on Saturday and Sunday morning, the artists will tell about their work from their personal viewpoint. Food will be served and there's also time reserved for open discussion and questions.

The events on Thursday and Friday are more practical how-to sessions, the artists will demonstrate the tools and methods they use in their work.

We can only take a limited amount of participants for each event, therefore you have to sign up in advance. The participation fee for each event is 50 FIM.
