Arttu Nieminen

Media Artist from Rovaniemi, Finland.

My works often revolve around symmetry, playing with horizons, the fragile Arctic nature, and juxtapositions of omens and visions with current phenomena. Flowing nature imagery, poetic recitations, minimalist music, and disruptive montages are the cornerstones of my expression. By stringing together ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) loaded scenes, I craft audiovisual incantations with the intention of instilling transformative power. Although I strive for a purifying artistic experience, I am working on a kind of propaganda film.

Environmental issues and humanity's conflicted relationship with nature are recurring themes in my works. I also reflect on humanity's level of consciousness and the choice we have at every moment to sensitize our inner selves at the crossroads of our path and reach for a higher state of awareness as a species.​
