White Nights at AaltoSiilo: Myyri's Crow's Feet and AI Dweller Model
The exhibition White Nights took place at the former cellulose silo AaltoSiilo in Oulu, Finland, from June 4 to June 14, 2026, under the curation of Jaakko Myyri. It showcased the works of six artists: Myyri, Jihyoung Han, and the South Korean Daeju Collective, which includes Dan Kim, Juae Park, Grim Park, and Jin Hong. The artists explored the industrial materials and narratives of the silo. Myyri's Crow's Feet transformed carbon steel into representations of bird feathers, while his Dweller Model facilitated AI discussions on climate data. Jihyoung Han's Nostalgia Bunker depicted societal collapse. Dan Kim's Residues reconstructed waste items, and Juae Park's Breast That Never Nursed contemplated care. Additionally, Grim Park's silk painting and Jin Hong's video conveyed workers' histories. Architectural insights were provided by Kaisa Karvinen, with photography by Kota Collective.
