Boing Being - Saturday 15
We're finished!
Despite the technical problems we managed to do the show on Saturday evening. The movies here show a glimpse of the projections that we shot. Thanks to people who supplied us drawings that we used to make the animations. We'll be editing a better quality movie of the whole show later. And thanks for Good Band for the soundtrack.
As a conclusion we can tell that we managed to keep the budget minimum and recycle all of the cardboard of the Nordic, Danish and Belgian pavillions. So, give trash a chance, please.
We ran the workshop with main theme of Architecture of Mind and daily subthemes of Fear, Machine and Self-portrait. The main thing, however, was to make people do something differently. This was sort of an experiment on play. From another angle you can see the global society work more and more like a machine, the place of individual inside it defined by fear and by one's capability to handle it. That's where you are and what you are. It's a changing in-between state of being that we are.
Thanks, we're off!

Boing Being - Saturday 11
Each of the prized artists will receive a full-year (4 issues) subscription of Kuti magazine.
We've used some of the works here and many others to create simple animations by using metamorphosis. We'll update the complete movie for you to see on this blog later when we're back in Finland.
So, stay tuned and thank you!

Boing Being - Friday 10 - SELF-PORTRAIT
THE PIKKULAULU
In the lautaskuoppa of the horse of Kupera nests saveta
Be a good horse, be,
it gallops over the hatred
Be a courageous horse,
the forest gallops open
open over the fear, run, a grass, a sea,
take the wind,
the brush is a heart,
a hair brushes the eyes,
there is a hair
inside every horse a sleep lives,
song of the moist shell
which never ceases
And the foot to step
water to fill the light to pierce your place
your lung lets
the mornings come - -
the picture is never your own
(as translated from Finnish into English with variety of online translators)
Boing Being - Friday 4
We used simple morph software to mix the different drawings and themes behind them - free-form storytelling.

Boing Being- Thursday 6 - MACHINE
W-A-A-ALLL is-s-s-s-s everywhere-e-e-e-e,
any-y-ywhe-re-re
power hönkivät hands
metal thirst
automatic ihmelapsi
wad-blouse-dog the assembly line moves
cheap jam from telecommunications company
awakening beak of the mobile in lit iris.
The bubble bath bubbles prettily,
it is warm?
Scoopful of ice-cream & soda drinks to straight bed,
on sprayer prettily tan
extension of the cuticle
from the base the sure picture
is shot at by 15 times in a second.
Really lanky foot
buttons in the refrigerator
he spring siren cools feelings, it is been prettily.
Packed feelings
every day of the year.
The year is short.
It is been machines every day in our life.
(as translated from Finnish into English with variety of online translators)
Boing Being - Thursday 2
We encouraged people to join in building the installation and characters, but one couple of were brave enough.

Boing Being - Wednesday 7 - FEAR
WHEN night sleeps on your cheek,
when night sleeps under your cheek
the ghosts behind the wallpapers begin their song
motor scrap in heart
the lowest gate opens
into garage, on trip Alinen
twitching meat, cold ripples
here all the hands are present
on forehead, stomach, neck
the body loses its distance
it identifies only the forest in forest
the shout dresses the sleep
with brush of the pyramid hair in fire
you count square metres
trip to the stars, core of your fears
(as translated from Finnish into English with variety of online translators)

Boing Being - Tuesday - MIND
THE PATH must be gone,
wide brain path into gulfs of the subconscious
with the walls they swing the mind
restless animals
warm, cold, warm
the prophecies echo in the one to be gone
they move the one dozing
splendid valiant powerful dream
thought behind the universe
from possibilities
from limitless thought, from wide
construction
to sing the aria
one widens, widens
it is based on the time, it begins anew, to dream
one dreams, it looks for a form
one can look for true
truly rumble olemisen hormistoa
seinää float snarl facing
farm farm
mental kehikoissa
fly save and brad
spectrum sky and slept
scale liberty , shady architecture
(As translated from Finnish into English with variety of online translators, we present you the new online language that's created in-between.)
Boing Being - Late Tuesday
After experiencing 5 hours of super-fast Italian internet on Tuesday night we gave up and decided to try again this morning. So, we are here, finally:
ARCHITECTURE OF MIND with BOING BEING
Workshop Wednesday-Friday from 11 to 17.
We'll be working through the week with the theme that states in the headline. What that means will reveal itself during the week.
We'll ask people to join us in a workshop to draw and build improvised images and installations of cardboard sculptures. As materials we'll recycle cardboard, wood and whatever the mansions of Nordic Pavillion feed us with.
What we'll be looking for are states of in-between, structures of unconsciousness. During the week we'll use the material done to create short animations and poetry, in search of something in-between. The textual material is filtered out via different online translators.
Every day of the workshop will contain a simple separate theme, merely to inspire the people who want to join us. From the works we'll each day select three who'll be awarded with a one year subscription of our comic tabloid Kuti.
The week will end up with a selected exhibition of the works, animations and performance. This to be happening on Saturday. What comes to details, we'll inform more about them later through this blog.
Best regards,
At Work With
Tiina Lehikoinen & Tommi Musturi
