Founder of independent film studio / neformat /, Our experiences, then, are constantly oscillating producing documentaries, video art, animation. between the expectations we bring with us;gestures, postures, language and movement suddenly come to assume a very special form that seems to be guided and controlled by the institution’s demands. This enforced orthodoxy, which finds its parallel in the consumer culture’s marketing strategies, where the standardizing regimentation of the consumer promises greater profits to the market. But this does not stop the external spaces from being imprinted. Beauty is a question of interaction, not a fulfillment of certain culturally valorizing expectations.

By moving towards this state, it can be said that the breaking down of the habits, armour and illusory coatings of the self can begin, and that the possibility of a real ‘I’ begins to emerge. Andrew McKenzie and Maksim Surin SUPPORT: KULTUURMINISTEERIUM, KULTUURKAPITAL, KAASAEGSE EESTI KUSTI KESKUS, ENTERPRISE ESTONIA KIWA КИВА ESTONIA ЭСТОНИЯ Kiwa is an artist whose practice includes a wide range of media: music/soundart, texts/books, performance, social sculp ture, badpainting, video, installation, critics, conceptual projects in media and public space.

He is the organizer of noise/soundart platform *metabor* and the Festival of NonExistent Bands ANDREW McKENZIE ЭНДРЮ МАККЕНЗИ SCOTLAND ШОТЛАНДИЯ THE HAFLER TRIO: The Hafler Trio is Andrew M. McKenzie (from Newcastle, England С currently residing in Tallinn, Estonia) working in the field of psychoacoustics and sonic research. Since 1982, The Hafler Trio has produced a prolific body of work involving art, science, sound, religion, comedy and philosophy С emphasizing a dynamic balance and interplay of ‘body’ ‘mind’ and ‘spirit’ over any one of these. McKenzie has previously worked with members of Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA, Nurse With Wound, Psychic TV, Whitehouse and Zoviet France. Andrew has also collaborated with performance artists John Duncan and Annie Sprinkle, exFluxus artist Willem De Ridder, artist/designer Neville Brody, and sound/poetry artist Z’EV. Recently, The Hafler Trio are concerned with the ramifications of technology and the creation of the most extreme, all inclusive experience as possible, that ‘resonates’ over a period of time lasting much longer than just the physical time it takes to apprehend it, and affects and engages all levels of being. KAIDO OLE КАЙДО ОЛЕ ESTONIA ЭСТОНИЯ Kaido OleArtist’s statementRhythm and routine, everyday life with all its forecast sides, exactness in details, long lasting processes, skills and experiences, focussing on something, humour and absurdity, restrictions and limits if I try to name only some of my sources of inspiration or important parts of my way to make art. Lately I have recognized that ethics gives also the key to solve even esthetical problems. Things will become the same, if I started making art taking world apart now these different parts of the world would start to get back together again. And the most important answer will wait me in the very end of the whole trip, that’s what I’m sure of. MARTIN PEDANIK МАРТИН ПЕДАНИК ESTONIA ЭСТОНИЯ Martin Pedanik’s brand characters have existed among us for a couple of years. Their first coming was on leaflets and posters but they did it powerfully: in large quantities, proliferating, billowing and bending, acquiring new faces and changing masks. At first it seemed that it is just the cleansing of design – Pedanik drowned out the noise around the characters and was constantly moving towards the simplest possibilities. The front ground was stripped clean, the background was eliminated, the forms to be used where defined. But with the rap artist’s conviction, Pedanik started to repeat his characters methodically he injected them into side projects, found foster parents for them, made an exhibition of them. With this kind of repetition a question arises, are they really just design problems or are we talking about little devils, tricksters and werewolves? True, they do not act in secret and in the dark but in public and even noisily watching us from behind Pedanik’s back or from the urban space. But this doesn’t make a difference. Pedanik has encircled himself with rows of ghosts mythological creatures making it pointless to talk about functions any more, not even about what we can see (as customary in view of design) but about that which Pedanik keeps quiet about. I really am not sure if it is a good idea to look those characters in the eye. KAAREL KURISMAA КААРЕЛ КУРИСМАА ESTONIA ЭСТОНИЯ Kaarel Kurismaa has simultaneously cultivated kinetism and abstract painting thrughout his career. He has also worked as a decorator, an animator and teacher. The most original side of Kurismaa? work is his kinetic objects, although numbered among those recluses who devoted themselves to abstract painting, he has been one of the most uncompromising artists from the 1970 until the present. The artist almost always manages to realize his idea in his kinetic works with playful ease and without any visible effort. This is not always true of his paintings. One can sense tenseness, inner uncertainly and subsconsious dissatisfaction with the
