Ahto

Ekho Collective is bringing a new immersive artwork Ahto to the collection of the Malva museum, accessible from the opening day of the museum on 29.4.2022. Ahto examines the different phases of water, and changes together with the stream of visitors entering the museum.

We’re excited to bring the Ahto to the impressive, 15 meter tall “Valogalleria” space, where it will greet every visitor of the museum. Ahto explores water in both visuals and audio, and applies motion tracking and generative techniques to evolve the work with the visitors’ interactions. We’ve designed Ahto in collaboration with Malva specifically for the Valogalleria space. The work will invite visitors to join a meditative experience, while aesthetically exploring the middle-ground between the organic and the digital.

We can’t wait for you to see the work born out of a great collaboration with Malva, and are honoured to share the Malva exhibition space with world-renowned artists. 

Artistic concept, visuals and technical implementation by Ekho Collective (Minja Axelsson, Saara-Henriikka Mäkinen, Essi Huotari, Iina Taijonlahti, Joonas Nissinen, Kalle Rasinkangas, and Ilmari Pesonen).
