We are delighted to welcome you to experience Markus Kåhre’s solo exhibition at Gallery Forum Box. Alongside the art, an inspiring event hosted by Tiuku-klubi on the 12th of September, where artists and researchers will come together to explore the theme of "Afterlife and AI".
The evening will feature the premiere of thanabot of philosopher Hannah Arendt (1906-1975), an AI-driven creation coded and trained, by researcher and coder Anton Berg. Followed by a screening of a short film by Petter Korkman, about the stage play, Afterlife that premiered at the Finnish National Theatre in November 2024.
The play Afterlife – Conversations with the Living Dead was produced in collaboration with the multidisciplinary and multinational, EU-funded Digital Death research project led by the University of Helsinki and Professor Johanna Sumiala. Sumiala's research project considers how the participation of the “living dead” in the human world changes us, society, death, and life.

This event offers an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about the intersection of art, artificial intelligence, life, and death—and how these evolving concepts shape our future. Drinks and light snacks provided. Free entry. Welcome!
