Muu Media Base

Open since October 1995, Muu Media Base is a Macintosh-platform for artists working with CD-ROM, WWW, digital image processing and audio. Artists are offered independent computer access, a variety of workshops and the possibility to do their own projects.

Access to MMB is free of charge for Muu members; access for non-members costs 350 FIM per 6 months. Included in our educational goals are workshops to provide both basic and specialized computer skills. Other workshops explore the artistic possibilities that are available through sound installation, interactive and Internet/WWW work.

Art and media schools in Finland provide their students with the latest technical equipment. However, after graduation, access to these tools ceases. Muu Media Base offers these facilities, room for experimentation and a planned environment for further education.
