Who Goes Hunting Does Not Cough<\/em> is a group exhibition and a series of public events curated by Kisito Assangni<\/u><\/a> for Pixelache Helsinki. Realised in collaboration with the Finnish Museum of Technology and with EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art, the project will see the light in Autumn 2026. It introduces the public to the works of fifteen international artists from different contexts who take on the concepts of power relations, decolonial aesthetics, affective spaces, resilient communities, new technologies, and find them reflected in new visualities conducive to look towards the future of the museum as a lived experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participating artists: Kongo Astronauts, Yto Barrada, Ne\u00efl Beloufa, Black Quantum Futurist, Eden Tinto Collins, Theo Eshetu, Miatta Kawinzi, Christian Nyampeta, Johan Thom, Sofia Yala, and five artists based in Finland which will be revealed later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curator Kisito Assangni: \u201cCombining video, sound, photography, video games, installation, film and performance, most of the pieces in the show embrace a sense of reinvention and agency with the aim to shape various interpretative environments. They speak to the informed viewer as much as the uninitiated. This exhibition is an experimental platform for critical reflection and non-hegemonic world-views. The title, Who Goes Hunting Does Not Cough, <\/em>derives from an African proverb which means sometimes, despite the importance and place of projects, you have to let the results speak for themselves. Especially, in a practice where the process holds as much importance as the outcome, and where the notion of an unfinished, remixable project is central. Media art, through its inherently interdisciplinary, participatory, and technologically responsive nature, has the capacity to radically reshape the future of the museum\u2013\u2013transforming it from a static repository of objects into a dynamic site for the co-production of knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Technology introduces a new infrastructure offering nearly unlimited possibilities for art in a hyper-connected, post-digital world. Intertwined with the museum, media art marks a profound disruption of the representative regime of aesthetic experiences and objects through its nature to question global cultural systems. To what extent can media art allow us to shape the future of the museum, and set a greater model for interstices of knowledges? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Museum of Technology about the project: “In recent years The Finnish Museum of Technology has strengthened its position at the crossroads of technology, art and science. That is why this collaboration with Pixelache and EMMA is especially significant: it brings together technological heritage and media art in ways that open fresh perspectives on important issues that affect us all”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

EMMA Museum states about the collaboration: \u201cPixelache\u2019s event at EMMA opens the art collections to the public from a new angle and strengthens the museum\u2019s role in the field of media art. The perspectives of Pixelache\u2014an electronic arts pioneer\u2014and curator Kisito Assangni bring new voices to the fore and situate the media art collections in a topical context\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Who Goes Hunting Does Not Cough<\/em> presents works that epitomise the growth of new media art and produce sensory, affective and intellectual experiences in the context of museum. By fostering interstices of knowledges\u2013those liminal, transdisciplinary spaces between science, technology, and embodied experience\u2013media art redefines the museum-space as an agent of epistemic plurality and future-oriented thinking. This exhibition is an experimental platform for critical reflection and non-hegemonic world-views. It transcends cultural hierarchies, embracing what theorist Irit Rogoff in her 2000 book Terra Infirma <\/em>calls \u201ccriticality\u201d\u2014 a practice that constantly questions and destabilizes the authority of knowledge production. This shift opens up new interstice\u00e7\u2014spaces of intersection\u2014 where diverse forms of knowledge, from indigenous epistemologies to speculative futurisms, can coexist and interact. By challenging linear narratives and fixed hierarchies of values, media art could be the saving grace of the museum of the future. As society becomes increasingly mediated by technology, media art offers a compelling pathway for museums to remain relevant, accessible, and reflective of contemporary life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who Goes Hunting Does Not Cough <\/em>expounds the critical potential media art has to shape museums physically and philosophically in a digital world striving for new ethical standards, equity and inclusion. The exhibition is part of Another Story<\/u><\/em><\/a>, a long term project designed by Egle Oddo and supported by Kone Foundation. Over the course of a three-year program, three invited curators will delve into international media art archives to curate annual exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initiated to instigate emerging trends and explore new narratives, the project aims to critically examine contemporary media art practices and compare curatorial approaches. By showcasing the evolving field, the project\u2019s ambition is to create meaningful connections to diverse global archives, and to unleash valuable repositories of knowledge<\/a> that warrants further exploration and revitalization. Another Story will be a prelude to Pixelache Helsinki 2026 Festival\u2019s celebrations, with events linking directly within the festival\u2019s programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is realised in collaboration with Finnish Museum of Technology, EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art, and Villa El\u00e4intarha. Supporting the project: Kone Foundation, The Arts Promotion Centre, The Department of Culture and Leisure of Helsinki City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
