This news show will be broadcast on Stadi-TV later this year.

A world famous artist collective called YKON has been working in Helsinki transforming global and domestic news together with a local news team. The News Transformation Agency is the latest project of this Helsinki-Berlin-based collective.

This week Mr Ulu Braun and Ms Christina Kral from Berlin ran an open workshop in a temporary pop-up news office in Lasipalatsi gallery. As a part of the workshop participants analyzed and transformed news to create alternative realities.

The News Transformation Agency project approaches the overwhelming aspect of global news as a potential platform for civic action. The NTA news offers the audience a completely new perspective to the world of news – and shows how the news can change the world and our realities.

NTA UUTISTEN ENSI-ILTA HELSINGISSÄ 23. ELOKUUTA 2012
NTA Uutisten ensi-ilta on tänään Taiteiden Yönä Helsingissä. Uutiset esitetään festivaaliyleisölle suurelta valkokankaalta Lasipalatsin aukiolla. Uutiset esitetään Stadi-TV:ssä myöhemmin tänä vuonna.

Maailmankuulu taitelijaryhmä YKON on työskennellyt Helsingissä muuntaen globaaleja ja lokaaleja uutisia yhdessä paikallisen uutisryhmän kanssa. News Transformation Agency on Helsingissä ja Berliinissä toimivan taiteilijakollektiivin uusin projekti.

Tällä viikolla berliiniläiset Ulu Braun ja Christina Kral ovat vetäneet työpajoja pop-up uutistoimistossa Lasipalatsin galleriassa. Osana työpajaa osallistujat analysoivat ja muunsivat uutisia ja loivat vaihtoehtoisia todellisuuksia.

YKON invites participants to the News Transformation Agency, a playful workshop and temporary news office at Lasipalatsi gallery, Helsinki.

What if we could experience daily news in a more personal way – and script a different future while doing so? Join the NEWS TRANSFORMATION AGENCY and dive into the world of news from a new perspective.

Together we’ll embark on an experiment to transform global news into a locally relevant context and see how it could affect our lives. We’ll be employing vision and fiction to irritate and challenge the viewers eye. Our results will be published around Lasipalatsi (TV-Sceen, Posters) and merge into a LIVE NEWS SHOW during the Night of the Arts.

When
August 20th, 2012 11:00 AM through 7:00 PM
Location
Mannerheimintie 22-24

Coming Up – a playful media workshop by YKON
During Media Facades Festival Helsinki 2012

What if we could experience daily news in a more personal way – and script a different future while doing so? The News Transformation Agency is a new project by artist group YKON, internationally known for their participatory projects dealing with utopian issues such as micronations and future scenario games. The project approaches the overwhelming aspect of global news as a potential platform for civic action – for local, emotional and transformative standpoints.

The project kicks of as an open workshop, at a temporary, pop-up news office at Lasipalatsi gallery. During the workshop, participants will work with YKON to filter and analyze breaking news, to transform them into ones with local relevance, remixing, visualizing and creating alternate realities. This unique and thought provoking experience will provide a completely new perspective to the world of the news. The news will be broadcast in public space at a live News Show during the Night of the Arts and specially tailored newsreels will appear on urban screens at Lasipalatsi Square and the Culture Tram.

We are currently looking for participants.
