Come and experience Marko Timlin’s kinetic sound installation BITS AND BYTES in a truly impressive environment.
BITS AND BYTES is a kinetic sound installation consisting of 104 recycled floppy disk drives created by Marko Timlin. By combining obsolete technology of the 1980s and 1990s with the technological means and aesthetics of the 21st century, completely new sonorous universes arise.
BITS AND BYTES combines the everyday, the mechanical, but also the broken, discarded, the machine scrap with highly complex computer controls and introduces us to an unknown sound world. It resembles a living organism that sings with 104 different machine voices inviting visitors to immerse themselves in complex spatial sound phenomena that move around them.
BITS AND BYTES aims to reveal the hidden poetry of the machine world by singing songs beyond humankind.
We will meet on Sunday 8.6.2025 at 19:00 in front of the Scandic Grand Marina Hotel (Katajanokanlaituri 7, Katajanokka, 00160 Helsinki). From there we will go together to the exhibition space, the precise location cannot be revealed yet and is a surprise.
Please confirm your participation sending an email to aanitaiteenseura(at)gmail(dot)com so we know that you are coming and won´t leave without you!

Marko Timlin creates artworks that link science with art, technology with nature and the past with the present. His artistic work centers on the development of kinetic sound installations and performances with self-made sound machines.
His approach is part of a broader perspective of a peaceful coexistence between the human and the machine. With his artistic inventions he proves that both can work together to create experiences that transcend them.
In the recently published anthology covering Finnish media art´s last century (“Suomalaisen mediataiteen ensimmäinen vuosisata”) Timlin is named as a successor of inventive genius Erkki Kurenniemi.
Timlin’s works have been exhibited and performed world-wide including at Whitebox New York (USA), Sight & Sound Festival Montréal (CA), Fylkingen Stockholm (SE), Kiasma Helsinki (FI), EOF gallery Paris (FR), E:vent gallery London (UK), Piksel Festival (NO) and Neues Museum Nürnberg (DE).
