Taking Corruption, as its theme, from the sociopolitical to the manipulation of data, the 2016 edition of the MediaLive exhibition and festival featured installations, performances, panel discussions, and a walking tour. In addition, I commissioned and curated the month-long performance piece #TAKEMEANYWHERE by LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner, in which the artists embarked on an internet-enabled road trip by posting their GPS coordinates daily and waiting for a member of the public to pick them up. For the duration of the work, their movements could be tracked in real time (commissioned in collaboration with The Finnish Institute in London).
