​ART & TECH DAYS

​​Anni Kinnunen

​FI

Anni Kinnunen (1978) is a visual artist whose most important instrument is photograph, but she also works with video art and installations.
Anni is settled in a strong line of Finnish artists that use performing art in pictures, but her photographs are not self-portraits, and they are not related to the mock-documentary self-portrait often seen in contemporary photographic art. During the past two decades, Anni’s works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Japan, China, Russia, Germany, Slovenia, Italy, Iceland, Denmark, Luxembourg, USA and Canada. In Finland, she has participated in events such as the Young Artists exhibition of Kunsthalle Helsinki (2009), the Snowball Effect Northern Finland Biennale (2012, 2014, 2016) and Mänttä Art Festival (2013, 2018). Her works are included in the collections of the Oulu Museum of Art, the Finnish State Art collection.

Ben James is the CEO & Founder of 3D generative AI platform Atlas.

When Ben entered the architecture profession, he was shocked at the limited role new technology played in the design process, and discovered that the lack of automation meant that creative individuals spent too much time on tasks not suited to their expertise.

He founded Atlas in 2021 to augment and focus designers‘ creativity, with an emphasis on gaming and virtual world-building.

Ben graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC and worked as a financial and strategy consultant in NYC and London prior to getting his Architecture Master’s degree from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

His work has been exhibited in notable museums and galleries such as the Architectural Association visiting school in China, the A+D Museum in LA, the Storefront for Art & Architecture in NYC, and the Architecture Biennale in Tallinn.
