How the human shapes the nature, and how the nature shapes the human?
ANTI Festival provides its audience with bus transportation, free of charge, from Kuopio to Tahko and back. The Festival Bus drives from Kuopio to Tahko and back daily from Thursday to Sunday.
ANTI invited sound designer Mikko Oravainen to investigate his former home region and create a sound piece for the bus journey. Oravainen invited musician Jaakko Prättälä to join the project and now the collective is creating a sound guide from Kuopio to Tahko.
ANTI leaves behind its familiar surroundings, the city of Kuopio, for the tourist centre Tahko. HUMAN/NATURE will be experienced whist this journey.
HUMAN/NATURE is a sound piece in dialogue with the environment we see from the Festival Bus. The work comments interesting spots by the route - the ones where the interaction between human and nature is visible.
