Signals
This is my fun project where through video and music, I offer some glimpses into how values, behaviours, and collective imaginaries evolve over time
Alien Signals From Planet Retro

The resurgence of mainstream discussions around non-human intelligence (from government hearings to increased media coverage and public speculation) reflects more than renewed interest in extraterrestrial life. It points to a broader cultural moment characterised by uncertainty, declining trust in traditional sources of authority, and a growing willingness to entertain alternative explanations of reality.
Alien Signals From Retro Waves was created as an entry for the Assembly Winter 2026 event in Helsinki.

Divination Of The Past
Signal
Practices historically associated with divination (including astrology, tarot, and ritual-based forms of meaning-making) have experienced renewed popularity among Millennials and Generation Z.
At the same time, the most digitally connected generations in history report increasing levels of loneliness and social isolation. Despite unprecedented access to communication technologies, many individuals struggle to build enduring forms of connection and belonging.
These parallel developments suggest that the resurgence of divination may reflect more than spiritual curiosity alone. It may signal a broader search for meaning, certainty, and human connection in increasingly fragmented social environments.
Divination of the Past explores these questions by inverting the traditional logic of divination. Rather than looking forward, the project looks backward, tracing the enduring human desire for connection across different periods and cultural settings.
