Bajo Un Mismo Sol - Collective Sonic Art Research
**Explore sounds of belonging, for you and for others in a three-days’ workshop**
**When**: 18th, 19th & 20th of May
**Time:** 13.30-18.30
**Where:** Sibelius Academy
Töölönlahdenkatu 16 C, 2nd floor
The workshop "Bajo un mismo sol" is bilateral and happens simultaneously with participants in Medellín.
All together we will train careful listening to places, make and share recordings of places we feel belonging to, and create collective sound maps in the mobile app MSWalks on Kansalaistori, in front of Oodi library, and on the square of Medellín Modern Art Museum.
On these sound maps that activate when we walk across the squares with our phones' speakers, we will also improvise with small custom-designed solar-powered electroacoustic instruments.
Participating does not require any background in music, but an interest in sound, for encountering new people and sharing ideas related to identity and memories.
A careful listening attitude is central to the activities, as well as an interest for sharing and conversing within respect of differences.
This workshop is related to a research and the registered participants will receive detailed information prior to decide on consenting to participate to the research.
The activities will be documented for research purposes and there are various options for being or not included in the documentation.
You may participate to the whole workshop or select the times that suit the best to your schedules.
**After registering you will anyway be contacted and given more information, but you may as well ask information prior to registration by email at marianne.decoster-taivalkoski@uniarts.fi.**

Marianne Decoster-Taivalkoski (IG: marianne.d_t ) is a media and sound artist with French origins and based in Helsinki since 1993. She works in music and technology program at the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki as a lecturer and an artist- researcher. Her work deals with identities, movement, listening, places and improvisation. She has a long experience in working with groups.
Vibe Coding Finland: May meetup with Antilooppi at VERK
Welcome to our May meetup in Helsinki, arranged together with Antilooppi (https://antilooppi.fi/).
Schedule:
17:00 Doors open!
17:30 Welcome words by organizers and Antilooppi
17:40 **The Spec-Driven Revolution: Building the 20X Development Engine**
**By Dr Jukka Ala-Mutka, Founder of Managentics**
Traditional SaaS is hitting a wall. As job security and project timelines face constant pressure, the "Artisan Coding" model is being replaced by AI-native pipelines. In this session, Jukka also shares how Managentics is operationalising "Spec-Driven Development" to achieve results that were previously impossible.
In this deep dive, we will explore:
* The Specification Factory: How Managentics transforms raw business intent into high-fidelity agent specifications. This is the "Intent-to-Specs" phase, where business logic is refined into structured blueprints before a single line of code is written.
* The Industrial Assembly Line for Software: How we treat platform development not as a manual craft, but as a process-driven assembly line. We apply industrial management principles to digital creation, ensuring every feature follows a repeatable, high-velocity path from the factory to production.
* The Power of SDD and TDD: Moving the source of truth from ephemeral syntax to structured business logic (Spec-Driven Development) and rigorous automated validation (Test-Driven Development). In this engine, specifications are the blueprints, and tests are the quality gates.
* The 20X Development Engine: How this automated approach achieved 20x efficiency, delivering 200,000 lines of production-grade code in just 3 months.
If you’re interested in moving beyond simple prompting to building industrial-scale autonomous capabilities through process-driven management, this talk is for you.
About the Speaker: Jukka Ala-Mutka is a Dr Sc. & BSc in Construction Management with over 20 years of experience in strategy and technology. As the founder of Managentics, he is pioneering the "Intent-to-Specs" pipeline, helping organisations transition from human-centric tools to autonomous agent swarms.
\*5 min break\*
18:15 **"Building Viral Apps People Love" by Jarno Silander, Founder of Kinoon.fi and Head of Growth at Droppe.**
The world is full of digital experiences that fail people. Previously you just had to put up with it, but not anymore thanks to AI. In this session, Jarno shares practical advice on finding your next project and building experiences worth sharing, using the viral cinema platform Kinoon.fi as a working example.
In this session, we’ll dive into:
* **The Kinoon.fi story**: how virality generated the first 20k users and put Kinoon on track for €800k+ in annual partner sales.
* **Finding your next project**: UX arbitrage and using pain as a compass.
* **Building shareworthy experiences**: UX frameworks, mental models, and tips that turn users into your distribution channel.
* **When taste ends and science begins**: measuring what matters and running experiments to surface unintuitive wins.
* **How to just do things**: getting out of your own way.
About the speaker: Jarno Silander is a curious startup founder-operator with 7 years of experience helping startups find product-market-fit and scale to their next growth stage.

**MIITTI’s Principles for safer space:**
MIITTI wants to nourish a safe and pleasant environment for everyone, where everyone can feel safe as themselves. By joining as a volunteer, employee or participant of the event or activity, you agree to follow the guidelines below
*Non-discrimination*
I do not make assumptions about people based on their external characteristics or names. I treat all participants with respect, and I don’t use language or take actions that discriminate based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic. I respect pronouns and names.
*Boundaries*
I respect others' personal space and boundaries, both physical and mental. I acknowledge that I cannot know someone else's boundaries without asking first. I ask before touching. I listen to others and adapt my behavior if someone indicates that my behavior makes them feel uncomfortable.
*Creating Safe Environment*
Everyone is responsible for contributing to a safe and respectful environment. If I witness harassment, I do my part to support those who experience inappropriate or offensive treatment.
*Zero Tolerance for Harassment*
Our space upholds a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or online, will not be tolerated.
If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior or harassment at our events, please report it to the MIITTI or Lapinlahden Lähde staff.

Sketchy Collective: Helsinki Drawing Meetup (15:00 Helsinki time)
**HOW TO FIND US**
Outdoors: We meet **every Sunday at 15:00** in the **Töölönlahti Park**, opposite the entrance to Pikku-Finlandia. If you’re walking from Oodi, pass the playground with the big swings and the volleyball court. On the left, you’ll find us in the **area with benches, hammocks, and yellow chairs**.
Indoors: When it's cold or rainy we move to the **top floor** of the **Oodi** Library, on the stairs opposite the children’s area.
It's a good idea to **keep your sketchbook visible** so others can easily recognize that you're there for the sketching meetup. And if you’re a regular participant, making it clear that you're part of the sketching group can be very helpful for newcomers!
\*\*\*
**HOW IT WORKS**
At each meetup, attendees take turns being the model for a quick **10-minute sketch session**. One person poses, everyone else sketches, then we rotate.
\*\*\*
**WHAT TO BRING**
Pencils and paper (or any sketching tools you like).
No fees, no pressure. The only thing we ask is that everyone takes a turn posing for the group. You can sit however you feel comfortable — the 10 minutes go by quickly! Draw as much as you like, skip a round if you’re tired or just want to chat, and leave whenever it suits you. The event continues as long as there’s interest.
\*\*\*
**STAYING CONNECTED**
Due to issues with spam and advertising, the group has decided that **only people who have attended at least one meetup will be accepted into the WhatsApp group**. To be added, please ask other participants at the meetup — a few members have permission to approve new people, and at least one of them will likely be present.
\*\*\*
**SOCIAL MEDIA**
If you’d like to share your drawings from the meetup, you can send on WhatsApp group or use the Instagram collab function (instagram.com/sketchy.collective). We warmly encourage everyone to share their work and take part in building our international sketching gallery — together with artists from all the cities where Sketchy Collective meetups are organized.

Mapping the Mind: Light, Space & Self
Turn thoughts into "inner spaces" through meditation, writing, and mixed media art, we’re building maps of our own inner worlds!
[Tallipääty, MIITTI office,](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-loom-of-belonging-a-journey-through-motif-thread-tickets-1987816169674?aff=oddtdtcreator#location)
[Lapinlahden Lähde Helsinki, Uusimaa](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-loom-of-belonging-a-journey-through-motif-thread-tickets-1987816169674?aff=oddtdtcreator#location)
Saturday, May 23 • 2 PM - 4 PM
**IMPORTANT:** This event is in collaboration with Mieli Without Borders, and spots are limited, please make sure to reserve yours through: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mapping-the-mind-light-space-self-tickets-1987892796868?aff=oddtdtcreator
### **Workshop overview**
What does your inner world look like?
If your thoughts were a room, would they have high ceilings and open windows, or a winding staircase leading to a hidden door? Mapping the Mind is a reflective, guided art workshop that invites you to visualise your internal landscape through the lens of "inner architecture."
In this session, we go beyond traditional portraiture or landscapes to explore the spaces we inhabit within ourselves. Using light, shadow, and structure, you will create a visual map of your current emotional state and personal journey.
Join us!
### **The Journey**
* We blend mindfulness with mixed-media artistry to help you build your "inner architecture"
* Begin with a gentle meditation to ground your awareness and settle into the space.
* Use guided writing prompts to translate abstract feelings into physical metaphors (doors, windows, maps, or staircases).
* Bring your vision to life through a rich variety of mixed media, including drawing, painting, and collage.
### **Who Is This For?**
This workshop is a sanctuary for anyone looking to deepen their emotional awareness through a calm, supportive, and creative outlet.
No "Art Skills" Required: This is about self-expression, not technical perfection.
Wellbeing Focused: Perfect for those looking for a meditative, low-pressure way to process thoughts and emotions.
Curious Minds: For anyone interested in the intersection of psychology, spatial design, and art.
This workshop is in English, therefore communicating and understanding English is necessary for participation.
### **Location**
The location is called **Lapinlahden Lähde** and is situated within the historic Lapinlahti hospital area near Hietaniemi. You can find us at **Lapinlahdenpolku 8**, specifically in the **Tallipääty** (Stable Wing) section of the building.

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”
