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
worksinvestigate 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.
