Since the mid-1990s, the Finnish artist and filmmaker Mika Taanila has been portraying researchers whose work lies between utopianism and science. He works with found-footage material, to which he adds experimental electronic music. The artist recalls a time in the 1960s and 1970s when utopian ideas were closely bound up with science and lifestyle. For example, Taanila portrays the Finnish visionary Erkki Kurenniemi, whose machine ‘DIMI-0’ transformed human touch into sounds and images, or he retraces the development of a transportable house made out of plastic, which was invented by Matti Suuronen, from the first drawings to the project’s eventual failure.
