Aalto Studios MAGICS cooperated with Finnish Chamber Opera in producing Posthuman – a multiartistic science fiction opera performance.
In the story, future posthuman creatures revive an extinct species, human, whose genes and memes are placed into a creature that resembles a human child. The question remains, can humans be replaced, and will anyone remember humans in the future. One of the voices in the performance is produced by artificial intelligence.
The cooperation between the Finnish Chamber Opera and Aalto Studios MAGICS initiated in the early stages of the production. This resulted in two students in New Media, Calvin Guillot and Małgorzata Nowicka creating the visualizations for the performance. This is how they describe their experience:
“We were fascinated and honoured to work in such a multidisciplinary project and to experience the multilingual expression of all the people involved. We had a lot of space for artistic exploration and an interesting challenge to operate within the constraints of the rich visual language of the play. We collaborated with the director on the content of the visualisations by using the artificial intelligence models and generative simulations. With the incorporation of the tools of new media, we strived for a manifestation of the ideas of posthumanism that is more subtle and sensitive - that is not confined to telling a story about artificial intelligence and digital life, but tackles the questions of the human condition. Facilitating this message was the most rewarding and exciting aspect of the process for us. “
Finnish Chamber Opera: Posthuman premiered at Tanssin talo on the 3rd of March.

How to utilize complementary colors in dyeing?
Complementary= Two colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel.
On the right hand side is a bit too bluish silk which needed to turn in grey. Hint of complementary color Tangerine (🟠<->🔵) turned the fabric to light greyish ⚪️
Use the method if you need to change the tone but you don’t want to make the material any darker. Often the shade will appear even lighter. When needed, you can tint the “neutralised” fabric again.

ADC Snapshots 💎: Interviewing second batch participants ➡️
❄️ Please introduce yourself:
Over the past 20 years I have gained experience in design in different projects, industries and countries. Recently, I have focused on leading transdisciplinary research and design to nurture holistic innovation and systems thinking to achieve responsible and technological innovation.
❄️ Please introduce your business idea:
The Service Sandbox comprises building blocks representing what service creators should consider when co-creating and promoting service experiences in physical spaces. It allows them to roam and explore services rather than follow a linear path, opening up possibilities across services within users’ daily routines combined with their values.
With Service Sandbox, multidisciplinary experts involved in service concept ideation can better understand how technology fits into different physical environments and discover the right moment to bring digital to space by a systemic understanding of the customer’s needs and how they interact with the space.
❄️ What made you apply to the ADC program?
The possibility to engage with Aalto’s startup community and learn how to become an entrepreneur in Finland and make the Service Sandbox a business.
❄️ Name three things that have been the most valuable to you in the program:
Support from the coaches, tactical and strategic lectures on what consider in your business, meeting other people in similar idea stage and more advanced stage.
❄️ How are you proceeding with your business idea?
Most likely I will one day make it available as a digital tool.
❄️ Greetings to ADC followers:
Becoming an entrepreneur is a solo decision, but you do have support and many opportunities to make it happen. Joining a community is a great step!
