Strange Attraction

Can technology touch us? The exhibition reflects on our shifting relationship with ever-present and constantly evolving technology.

Strange Attraction explores how technology extends our hands and minds. Through oil paintings, photography, and installations, a group of internationally renowned contemporary artists respond to this theme with diverse approaches.

Mercurial and rapidly evolving, technology has become inseparable from daily life, shaping the ways we engage, think, and feel. Yet even as our reliance on it grows, the body remains vital. Strange Attraction reflects on the connections between body and mind, and how these connections are continually reshaped and hacked.

This group exhibition brings together artists from across disciplines and continents, many of whom are exhibiting in Finland for the first time.
