Dusjagr's KUBU Residency

Impressions

Summer Exhibition "The Garden and The Hedge"

The Garden and The Hedge is Kulturhus Björkboda’s (KUBU) inaugural international summer exhibition and programme, developed in partnership with the artist and researcher Teresa Dillon. Focusing on the garden and the hedge as interfaces and borderlines that shape our understanding of nature and our relationship to it, Kubu’s setting—a former school building nestled in the rural heart of the Kimitoön municipality on an island in the Archipelago Sea, Southwest Finland—provides a unique and rich context for exploring these themes.

Matomikrofoni aka Stereo Piezo Pre-Amp

"If you have ever wanted to listen to sounds around us that are often too small for us to hear with our ears alone, you can do so with a piezo disk. We will learn to make a piezo disk into your own recording device."

  • Low-energy website experiment: This microsite is an low-energy experiment inspired by many other similar projects. The images are reduced to very small files sizes and the website is a static and local, meaning it does not require power-consuming servers or cloud computing, instead, it will be running in a small Raspberry pi in KUBU, and could be fully solar powered. As we are still running the main kubu.fi website hosted conventionally and use social media as before, the intention is not to produce any significant energy savings yet. But it is a learning excercise for us and hopefully inspiration for others in trying out low-energy methods in computing and communications.
