BIO
↓
Priss Niinikoski (FI/FR) is an artist working with textiles beyond soft surfaces. She explores
the element of ‘risk’ when operating with tools and systems. Conceptually her works
investigate material cultures and the ethical complexities of designing technologies,
preservation and replication. Taking account the feminine histories in textiles and
computing, her artistic focus is on contemporary application of craft, material studies and
their relation with technologies. The tool is seen as an extension of the maker, facilitating
their cooperation with the material. Through these questions Niinikoski transforms her
thinking into spatial textiles extensions and apparatuses that study different materialities
of information and explore how frictions and marks serve as a form of communication.
Niinikoski is actively combining textiles with sonic and digital materialities. Her interest is
in creating personal interactions and companionships that formulate through material
engagements.Building up on coding interactive environments and electronic textiles
interfaces her studies currently focus on gesturality and acoustics, translation between
the digital and thE analogue and how uncertainties, the risks that bodies pose in systems,
embark new patterns for expression.
