Mindfulness Though Media Art

Join me in contemplating the future by grounding yourself in the present through immersive audiovisual meditation

Soiva Tuleva - Futures Mindfulness Experience is a calm audiovisual meditation that invites participants to pause, reflect on the present moment, and imagine possible futures. Using a nature video that evokes abstract art, it combines visuals and sound — including tree biodata and natural soundscapes — to create a space for reflection and imagination about the future.

The piece contains no speech; it is only the sonic environment. A guided mindfulness exercise can optionally be added to the experience. Visitors may enter and leave the space freely, at their own pace.

The work is well-suited for festivals, conferences, and exhibitions as a quiet space where participants can pause for a moment and encounter the possibilities of the future.

Soiva tuleva Futures Experience Workshop is a guided audiovisual meditation that helps groups explore possible futures through a creative and experiential process. Participants gain tools for creative thinking, teamwork, and practical foresight skills. The session includes a short introduction to futures thinking, an immersive audiovisual meditation, and a shared reflection. The workshop is suitable for strategy days, development processes, and creative team sessions.

You can come and relax with my works as part of the workshops offered by Being With Collective (myself, Saara Jäämies, Outi Kinnunen, Inka Koutaniemi, and Eija Pimiä), as well as for solo events.

I am currently filming new videos for the upcoming years and new events.

A story behind this concept

The meditation works originated in a solo exhibition in 2024 at Yö Galleria in Helsinki. The audience sat for several hours watching my Pine tree meditation video. It made me think that there was something going on here that needed to be explored more closely.

I was heavily involved in various yoga groups when I was young, especially in Ashtanga yoga. Later, I began practicing meditation, focusing mostly on mindfulness. While filming my videos, I started to see nature with new eyes. I slowed down and focused on a single pine tree and its movement in the wind. This helped me understand how everything in nature has its own place as part of a larger whole.

I realized that in this volatile, turbulent world, we need to find calm within and reconnect with our roots. When everything else is spinning, we can become resilient by standing firm in the eye of the storm. A feeling of belonging is crucial. Only then can we change the world toward more sustainable futures.
