Hot Prefontal Cortex
Past
Alma Heikkilä
Alma Heikkilä (born in 1984) lives and works in Helsinki. She is a founding member of Mustarinda, a multidisciplinary collective located in the ancient forests of northern Finland, which hosts residencies at the intersection of art and ecology.
The works created by Alma Heikkilä are often attempts to represent things that cannot be experienced through the human body and its senses. These include microbial life forms that are too small to be consciously encountered in everyday life; forest ecosystems where important processes occur underground and within plants; and many large-scale phenomena that happen at speeds and dimensions beyond our comprehension.
