JoakimUdd:Välittäjä

Joakim Udd’s Välittäjä is a semi-mechanical combination consisting of arms, joints, buggies, chains, and the motor that moves them. At the end of the arms, narrow beams of light follow the path created and draw out a glowing shape. The work contemplates humans as a means of representing technology. The technology extracts a wish and brings out a form of itself.

Joakim Udd (b. 1992) is a visual artist and light designer. His work history entails live performances and performing arts on a wide scale. Additionally, he has curated light art events and done production design. Currently, Udd is doing his masters in lighting design at the Theatre Academy. He is intrigued by dimensions, minimalism, and the maximization of the latter.
