Multidisciplinary studio exploring cutting-edge ideas in science and technology through artistic practice and dialogue

An Attempt to Keep My Friends Alive (2022)
Living sculptures made out of human cells. Artificial tissue, bioreactors, made in collaboration with bioprinting company Brinter (@brinter3d) and Biofilia laboratory in Aalto University. (@biofilia_aalto)

The work by Pekko Vasantola utilizes tissue engineering and bioprinting to create living sculptures of the cells of the artist’s friends. The work investigates cells and DNA as a source of biological personal data, and portrays people through their materiality instead of visual depiction.

Uusio Collective is a multidisciplinary studio exploring cutting-edge ideas in science and technology through artistic practice. We work with scientists and artists to bring these ideas into life.

Founded by Finland-based visual artists Pekko Vasantola and Sheung Yiu, with Roberto Fusco being our core member, the collective consists of media artists and technologists with diverse skillsets from robotics, light installations, virtual worlds, to wearable technology. Uusio fosters dialogue between art and science by bringing artists together with research groups in forest ecology, geoinformatics, cognitive science, microbiology, computer science and more. by @uusio.works

Between Two Trees, There Are Many Worlds (2023)
Point cloud of two trees captured by terrestrial laser scanning in collaboration with remote sensing scientists Daniel Schraik of LUKE (@luonnonvarakeskus) and Samuli Junttila of GEHO project hosted by The University of Eastern Finland (@uniuef).

Taking two trees – a surviving tree and a dead tree – in the central forest in Helsinki as a starting point, the video work by Sheung Yiu explores hyperspectral imaging and posthuman sensing of the natural environments in the context of the ongoing bark beetle infestation in Northern Europe.

Translucens (2022)
Holographic projection on water curtain, soundscape.

The artwork by Niko Tiainen (@tiainen.xyz) combines theoretical mathematical forms – such as the tesseract – with concrete biological form – such as water. It employs non-linear storytelling, blending the Kulesho effect, where different images and video clips merge into one another, and the actual story is created in the viewer's mind. This form somewhat resembles the structure of REM sleep.

The Chance That Makes It What We Are (2022)
Installation with robotic arm, real-time video, 5-channel live audio, programmed lights and drawings on aluminum and paper.

The artwork by Roberto Fusco (@_robertofusco) and Emma Fält (@emmavilina) is a delicate dance of two processes—the nearly perfectly repeatable movement of a robotic arm, and the chaotic and complex propagation of sound. by @uusio.works
