"I like to make interactive and collective cinematic experiments, where the participation and presence of the audience is essential for the experience. I have produced events and directed productions such as “Cause & Effect” (2002-2003), an interactive cinema screening performance (together with Chris Hales and Tomi Knuutila), "Kino Kabaret Helsinki" (2002-03), a collective cinema screening concept, adapted from Montreal, Canada and interactive night television program "Akvaario" (2000) to give company to sleepless people in Finland. I am also researching and teaching interactive audiovisual narrative in University of Art and Design in Helsinki"
