Olli Aarni<\/b> (born in Oulu, Finland in 1988) is a multidisciplinary artist working with sound, music, language, and literature. His work ranges from sound installations to artist’s books, and from sound poetry to ambient and noise music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n

\n

His work covers themes such as perception of time, the relation between knowledge and senses, and translating phenomena from auditory to visual and linguistic realms, and back. The conceptual side of his work is sometimes upfront, and sometimes hidden and embedded in the pieces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n

\n

Aarni has collaborated with scientists, musicians, visual artists and poets. Everything he does has to do with sound in some way or another, and whether it be in printed visualised form or verbally described.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n

\n

A major part of Aarni’s work takes the form of audio recordings. He has released over 20 records on four continents with record labels such as Students of Decay, Flau, Dauw, Ultra\u00e4\u00e4ni, Mappa, Mondoj, and Superpang. He has performed live in numerous European countries and in Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n

\n

He has made solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions, including the Helsinki Biennial. He has made works for the Finnish National Broadcasting Company YLE, radio art festivals, and poetry events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
