Priss Niinikoski is a Finnish-French artist working with textiles beyond soft surfaces. Exploring the intersections of computational thinking both in textiles and electronics, Niinikoski addresses the element of risk when operating with tools and systems. Translating her research into spatial textile works and apparatuses, she explores how frictions and traces act as forms of communication. Actively combining textiles with sonic and digital materialities, she builds on coding interactive environments and electronic textile interfaces. Her ongoing research focuses on communication, acoustics, and the interplay between digital and analogue systems, investigating how uncertainties and risks reorientate systems to new patterns and expressions.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in Italy, Germany, Belgium, France, Japan and the Netherlands. Her works are in the collections of Saastamoinen Foundation, Villa Noailles and Le19M. Currently she is a resident at Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam, NL.
