This exposition presents and documents the work Access to Landscape exhibited in Research Pavilion, Venice, 2017.
I use a metaphor as a starting point: to scrutinise a landscape as a base for writing. I use my body as a writing tool. The work is referring to my family history, to a small minority group in Finland. It is about reflecting a community inside the society where the cultural identity is laid and reconstructed through a language of ancestors.It emphasises a language, which is absorbed by vicinity of social relations. By transcribing the letter on the snowy landscape I use public space as a kind of archive, restoring and presenting inscription.
Time is pressed at least in a double way: first it is an old document as a starting point and then a snowy surface indicating temporality and challenging the notion of oblivion.

This exposition documents a series of reconfigurations of a piece originally conceived in 2011, 'Writing Machine'. The series continued with 'Wr_t_ng M_ch_n_' (2018), attempting to implement all aspects within a Mellite workspace, and 'Writing (simultan)' (2020), highlighting a new interest in the coming-together of otherwise independently operating processes. The current reconfiguration is 'Writing (suspend)' (2023), which returns to a single circle form, but replacing the display tables with a light-weight suspension as well as introducing kinetic and sensorial elements. The series is an exercise in understanding the concept of reconfiguration (algorithmic and not), conducted first within the Algorithms that Matter framework, and currently within the Simultaneous Arrivals project.
