Layers in the Peace Machine
Location: Oulu City Hall,
Address: Kirkkokatu 2, Oulu, Finland
Genre: Media installation
Language: English
Layers in The Peace Machine is an immersive and multidisciplinary media installation, entangling technology and art. Based on the literary work ‘Peace Machine’ by the late Timo Honkela, the installation portrays peace as a dynamic process that shifts and evolves with interaction from the participants.
Layers in The Peace Machine encourages the participant to reflect on their own relationship with peace and peace-related questions. What sort of memories, images and emotions arise? How to work towards a more peaceful world in everyday life?
The artwork is structured to emphasise the effects of these interactions on the work itself and other participants’ experiences. Through these means Layers in the Peace Machine is part of the dynamic discourse about actions, choices, mutual interactions and power, which all greatly affect the processes of peace.
