SOLU), a Finnish media artist, teacher, investigator and curator residing in Berlin. Makela is one of several international visual innovators dedicated to live cinema, an emerging art form in which moving images and sounds are mixed live, and cinema becomes a performative event unfolding in real time. Makela has performed at festivals around the world, including Sonic Acts in Amsterdam, Sónar in Barcelona, transmediale in Berlin, Transitio_MX in Mexico City and Ars Electronica in Linz. She has also collaborated with many experimental musicians, including ARBOL, Heidi Mortenson and DJ Rupture. Her work has been described as “a dark delirium of images, a disintegrated vision on a complex world—a digital version of William Blake’s poetry,” and her style ranges from minimal abstractions to multilayered compositions following a dreamlike narrative journey. Makela, a leader in the field of live cinema, has also written and lectured on the history and forms of live cinema internationally. Organized by Holly Willis (Cinematic Arts).
