Online Open Studio & Talk October 17th, 2020 (Saturday), at 2 PM (Lisbon GMT+1) Language: English Link to attend: https://linktr.ee/visitastudios Being the arts and culture fundamental for the aesthetic and intellectual development of each individual, Visita has as its mission the spontaneous sharing of experiences, in close contact and accompanied by guests, in informal and artistic productive environments. Visita dedicates to strengthening the contact between the public and professionals of the international art scene, inviting the public to visit (nowadays, online) the studios where those professionals work. The audience is also invited to participate in the conversations with the guests. Tuomas A. Laitinen is an artist who works with moving image, sound, light, glass, chemical and microbial processes, as well as algorithms to explore the entanglements of multispecies coexistence. Laitinen composes situations and installations that inquire into the porous interconnectedness of language, body, and matter within morphing ecosystems. In recent years, Laitinen has been working around questions of ecology, the notion of the extended mind, and processes of knowledge production. The works are often made with translucent and transparent materials to find ways to layer and diffract material relations and different epistemological systems. Laitinen's works have been recently shown in the 21st Biennale of Sydney, 7th Bucharest Biennale, Screen City Biennale 2019 (Stavanger), SADE LA (Los Angeles), Amado Art Space (Seoul), Moving Image New York, A Tale of a Tub (Rotterdam), Art Sonje Center (Seoul), Helsinki Contemporary, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, MOCA Shanghai & Cinemateca do MAM Rio de Janeiro. @tuomasalaitinen
