Jaana Partanen’s exhibition Mental Alchemy – Matrix Layer has brought to the visitors to the Kuopio Art Museum not only a breeze from the 3D world, but also a chance to participate in the artwork. Sensors that recognise a person entering the showroom and capture him or her along to the fractal world reflected on […]
Jaana Partanen’s Matrix layer (2014) will come to its home turf, when the exhibition opens at the Kuopio Art Museum on 12th June. Every exhibition project is one of a kind, but a little something extra to this brings the fact that this is the art museum of our own town ─ familiar building, familiar […]
Conservators’ white gloves don’t belong here yet. Jewels, gold, beautifully embroidered fragile old textiles, all those thousands of treasures have been stored elsewhere. Fortunately, because here sing the sledgehammer, drill, hammer and saw. There is still plenty of dust in the air. The Orthodox Church Museum site is in full swing. Openings have been enlarged, […]
Artist Jaana Partanen’s book Dream’s Gift will be published at the Salo Art Museum on the 8th of May at 10 a.m. The book project dating from years ago is suddenly topical again, if only because this is the first time it meets the printing press.

Researchers, musicians, software experts, professional designers, furniture manufacturer, loudspeaker and projector companies, dancers and circus performers – all have worked together […]
Jaana Partanen’s Matrix exhibition is a wholly new kind of art experience. Art delves into the wonder world of dreams with new, unprecedented means. It is also an unprecedented spatial world of experience that requires new kinds of furniture to be developed. What was needed were a safe ”nest” for using 3D Mixed Reality glasses […]
The over two-year journey of the Z Vector visualisation program, based on real-time graphics and created by Janne Karhu and myself, began from a spontaneous music video project. Through the music, it moved to the stages of the world and from there to the Matrix layer exhibition. People in the industry know how difficult the […]
