Randomness, Where?
Graphic Design
On Thursday, 16th of March at 19:00, EKA Graphic Design and Product Design second year students open their collective exhibition ‘Randomness, where?’ at ARS Art Factory Studio 53/98.
The exhibition showcases works from more than 20 authors, who explore the theme of randomness and its many forms of expression through personal observations, discovering the beauty of the unpredictable. Can anything be truly random? Is unintended behaviour a human condition differentiating us from algorithms, and what kind of patterns arise when observing unexpected events over time.
Randomness is explored through a vast variety of mediums within the exhibition – such as installation, sculpture, photography, interactive pieces, light installation, sound etc.
The exhibition is open for only three days: 17th until 19th of March, from 13.00-18.00.
Artists: Anette Jaaniso, Beata Batejev, Diana Tammets, Hannah Eliel Allmann, Ilia Rotar, Ines Maria Uudam, Kaisa Uik, Karl-Alder Kuivjõgi, Karl-Egert Kartau, Karolin Eks, Kasper Korsen, Katrin Selin, Ljubov Terukova, Mariann Hendrikson, Marie Soosaar, Mark Uustalu, Markus Laanisto, Nelli Viisimaa, Oliver Udeküll, Pille-Riin Valk, Rasmus Einman, Risto Tepper, Robin Raspel, Ronald Trei
Graphic Design: Nelli Viisimaa, Diana Tammets
Mentor: Sten Saarits

Exhibition “The Divergence From a Predefined Outline”
Graphic Design
Exhibition “The Divergence From a Predefined Outline”
17.03–20.03.2022
Opening at March 16, 6 pm
ARS Art Factory, Studio 112
The art exhibition “The Divergence From a Predefined Outline” by Estonian Academy of Arts Graphic Design and Product Design 2nd year students will be opened on Wednesday, March 16 at 6 pm.
The joint exhibition of the two departments presents a series of works that were initially intended to be exhibited without any common theme or curation in mind. However, accompanied by the abrupt diversion from the European political timeline during the semester, a theme of mapping current temporal and spacial conditions became a perceivable focus point. Keywords such as information warfare, misinterpretation, indeterminacy and artificiality came to the fore. The planned cacophony leans toward a sense of wholeness or a palpable new understanding of the present time, which is represented by 11 artworks.
Participating artists: Ane Laande, Anita Elina Mürisep, Anna Kisseljova, Brigite Helena Sarapuu, Elisabeth Järve, Emma Reim, Gerli Tamm, Hanna Samantha Raidma, Helen Bender, Henry Markus Gregory, Ingrid Tärk, Katariina Kesküla, Katrin Kannu, Kaur Joonas Karu, Kelly Heleen Kaldra, Kertu Liisa Lepik, Laura Tursk, Lauren Teimann, Linda-Maria Varris, Magnus Harjak, Martin McLean, Nicole Winona Mikli, Rasmus Jurkatam, Steven Pikas
Graphic design by Emma Reim, Laura Tursk
Supervised by Sten Saarits
The exhibition is open on four days only (17.03–20.03)
Opening times 1pm – 6pm
Location: ARS Art Factory, Pärnu mnt 154, Tallinn

EKA Summer Academy workshop “Speculative and Critical Design – Special Programs Think Tank”
Open Academy
We invite you to take part in a rare opportunity to serve in the Special Programs Think Tank to envision and create hypothetical “special programs” that Estonia’s government might instate, either in the future or in parallel realities.
This five-day event will provide you with the chance to design preferable paths for government, guided by future-visioning strategists from the Extrapolation Factory. Over the course of the workshop, participants will be introduced to the essential principles of futures studies and will learn to identify signals, extrapolate implications and create future artefacts.
Each program will be announced through physical, print or digital artefacts to be shared with local citizens.

Wood and Design
Open Academy
Dates: 20-25 August 2018
Volume: 6 days, 3 ECTS
Location: Viljandi, Estonia
Number of participants: max 22
Cost: FREE (Please note that this course is meant for higher education students only)
Registration deadline: 6th of May
In addition to the general admissions requirements, candidates are expected to submit a letter of intent describing their interest in attending the workshop, and a PDF portfolio including documentation of at least one project relevant to the use and/or attributes of wood.
This 6-day workshop Wood and Design in the lush woodlands of Viljandi, Estonia, focuses on the design aesthetics, ecology, and sustainability of wood. Exploring the material properties of wood through its use in design, the workshop invites participants to build a set of functional wooden objects for outdoor living with the simplest of means. Participants will utilise wood, as a naturally-occurring renewable material, in two forms: solid slab and left-over scraps from local lumber mills. The workshop is therefore not only community-inspired, with materials sourced or found locally, but also meets the ever-growing need to reclaime and recycle waste wood.
Level:
2nd and 3rd year BA students and MA students in Interior Architecture, Furniture Design, or the equivalent.
