Artist Tuomas A. Laitinen combines moving image, sound, light, and glass into chemical and microbial processes. He also works with algorithms to explore the entanglements of human and more-than-human coexistence.

During the years 2016-2019, he has composed some art pieces enhanced with augmented reality. Let us present his artwork.

A new digital museum service Digimuseo has launched in May of 2020. Digimuseo aims to make museum content available in an inspiring and safe digital environment and be a user-friendly platform for all consumers and museums.

Up until now, museums in Finland have had a varying state of digital services, depending on their resources. Digimuseo brings a much-needed tool to equal possibilities on preservation and accessibility.

Recycling and circular economy have raised their heads in the past few years. With more recycling options and tools, it may feel overwhelming to know what package goes to which bin, and people are hoping for companies to lead the way. Arla and UPM are stepping up as trailblazers in showing that recycling is both easy and fun.

In Recycling Buddies Arla and UPM joined with Youtuber Roni Back to teach children about recycling and the importance of our everyday actions. Previously presented Aamu the cat takes a new adventure with Luonto+ birds in the augmented world of recycling.

The Prince of Darkness utilised augmented reality to enhance his "See You On The Other Side" – limited edition vinyl box set. The set contains all of the artist's original solo materials with exclusive video footage and animations to be experienced in augmented reality. The unique experience immerses fans in the music and performances spanning decades.

When the candy brand Panda decided to use AR for the launch of their chocolate eggs, the augmented surprise chocolate egg ended up taking Easter by storm with almost half a million scans in just a few weeks.

An AR experience featuring an animated panda was developed for candy brand Panda and Orkla, leading supplier of branded consumer goods.

The main hall of a museum closes down for renovation – what happens to the artwork no one gets to see? They come alive in the Art Gate, a virtual gallery to be visited anywhere, anytime. 

Arilyn invites you to walk through the red velvet curtains into the Red Room and see the world change around you. This is our tribute to David Lynch, his work and the world he created in Twin Peaks.
