BjörkHijoort&TiiaKasurinen:MillennialMuses
Millennial Muses is a collaborative art piece created by Björk Hijoort and Tiia Kasurinen. The concept takes over the Resident Advisor Front Yard and combines painted art with video projections. Millenial Muses plays with the idea of ancient Greek Mythology crossing paths with modern time – inspired and intertwined with the mythology of 9 muses as well as the Internet and Y2K aesthetics. Art is created in cooperation with CULT energy drink.
