Simo Rouhiainen: Sissiprojisoinnit - Guerilla projections

Guerilla projections moves around city creating projections to dark and grey places surprising people at unexpected places.

Guerrilla Projections is a mobile visual art gadget on an electric bike. Powered by a lithium-ion battery, it projects videos on even surfaces in surprising places. The work appears and disappears in the environment as a quickly passing reminder of the momentariness of life, creating unexpected dialogues between the projections, audiences, and spaces. The content varies depending on the location, creating new meanings to places.

TKK, Taik Medialab, b. 1969, lives in Helsinki, Finland
