ESINEJATEST:
Muuseumi sünnipäevapeolt ei saaks puududa ka ühe uue väljapaneku avamine. Anders Härmi kureeritud näitusel „Galatea triumf. Kunst tehisaru ajastul“ on vaatlusel elu koos tehisaruga, mida kunstnikud oma teostes nii mõtestavad kui ka kasutavad.
ERSO kammerkoosseis: (A)ud(I)ospaa. Kas AI-l on kunsti juurde asja? Mis tuleb peale AI-d? Kas tulevik on VR ja AR või jõuame tagasi R-i ehk reaalsuse juurde? ERSO kammerkoosseis katsetab ning publik saab otsustada, kas tehisaru suudab inimloominguga konkureerida.
Kiwanoid (KIWA). Multiväljundilise metakunstniku tehnopaganlik kontseptuaalalbum „Vanatühi“ ärkab laval ellu glitch-esteetikast inspireeritud elektroonilise rituaalina. Hiiglaslike sekvoiade alt piiluvad pikslilised sõnajalad, võsastikus vilguvad LED-silmad ning praksuva lõkke ja koopamaalingute taustal rullub lahti elav mikrokiipide trampimine.
Viktoria Martjanova on multidistsiplinaarne kunstnik ja DJ, kes töötab peamiselt ruumi kui elava mateeriaga ning heli ja video erinevate vormidega. Tema fookus on kunstiloomise protsessidel, nende raputaval loomusel ja katarsisel, samuti uurib ta kunstniku ja vaataja jagatud arusaama nendevahelistest piiridest. Tema isiklik teooria käsitleb eksperimentaalset meetodit kui turvalist ja katastroofivaba loomise viisi. Viktoria Martjanova töid on esitletud Performa biennaalil New Yorgis, Raw ja Alma galerii ruumides Riias ning Vilniuse kunstinädalal. Ta on ka TASE 2025 noore kunstniku preemia laureaat.
Bedless Bones on Kadri Sammeli (Forgotten Sunrise, Deathsomnia) alter ego ja sooloprojekt, kus põhjamaise darkwave’i tähe all seguneb industriaalne jahedus eeterliku atmosfääriga. Need on lood, mille live-trummidega vürtsitatud rütmid ei võõrasta tantsupõrandatki. Kadri tegutseb ka DJna, olles ürituste sarja Beats From The Vault resident. Laval esineb Bedless Bones duona, trummidel Anders Melts.
Night Tapes on Eesti-Suurbritannia bänd, mis sai alguse Londonis Max Doohani, Sam Richardsi ja Iiris Vesiku ühistest õhtustest musitseerimistest. Öine London, žanrite sulandumine, mitmekihilised helid ja aus enesepeegeldus loovad atmosfäärilised helimaastikud, mis loovad värske ja piire nihutava dream pop’i.
MHKL (Mihkel) on tuntud nimi Eesti tantsumuusika maastikul, tuues 2019. aastani Raadio 2 eetrisse underground-muusikat saadetes Grind (Drum & Bass) ja Majamasin (4x4 Wonderland). Jäädes aktiivseks nii trummi ja bassi kui ka house’i skeenel, on MHKL tuntud oma sügavate ja emotsionaalsete valikute poolest ning armastab mängida pikki, kaasahaaravaid sette.

ARTISTS:
A museum birthday party would not be complete without a new exhibition. And so, the celebration begins with an exhibition opening. Curated by Anders Härm, the exhibition *Triumph of Galatea: Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence* explores life with AI, as interpreted and employed by artists in their works.
ERSO chamber ensemble: (A)ud(I)o Spa. Does AI appreciate art? What comes after AI? Is our future virtual, augmented, or simply real? The ERSO chamber ensemble will feature music inspired by, derived from or created in dialogue with AI.
Kiwanoid (KIWA). The technopagan concept album “Vanatühi” by this multidisciplinary meta-artist comes alive on stage as an electronic ritual inspired by glitch aesthetics. From beneath towering sequoias, pixelated ferns peek out, LED eyes blink from below the undergrowth, and against the backdrop of a crackling campfire and cave paintings, a lively stomping of microchips unfolds.
Viktoria Martjanova is a multidisciplinary artist and DJ who primarily works with space as living material, as well as with sound and video in various forms. She focuses on the processes of creating art, their catastrophic nature and cathartic aspects, as well as on the boundaries between the artist and the viewer in their shared understanding. Her personal theory approaches the experimental method as a safe and anti-catastrophic way of creating. Her works have been presented at the Performa Biennial in New York, at the Raw and Alma Gallery spaces in Riga, and at Vilnius Art Week. She is also the recipient of the Young Artist Award at TASE 2025.
Bedless Bones is the alter ego and solo project of Kadri Sammel (Forgotten Sunrise and Deathsomnia), where Nordic darkwave merges industrial coolness with an ethereal atmosphere. These are tracks whose rhythms, spiced up with live drums, might make you move to the dance floor. Kadri also works as a DJ and is a resident of the event series Beats From The Vault. On stage, Bedless Bones performs as a duo, with Anders Melts on drums.
Night Tapes are a UK-Estonian band that started out as evening jams between the housemates Max Doohan, Sam Richards and Iiris Vesik in London. Night time London, genre-blending, multi-fidelity recordings and honest reflection contribute to their atmospheric soundscapes that ultimately make for fresh and envelope-pushing dream pop.
MHKL (Mihkel) is a well-known name in Estonia’s electronic music scene, having brought underground music to Raadio 2 through such shows as Grind (Drum & Bass) and Majamasin (4x4 Wonderland) until 2019. Remaining active in both drum & bass and house circles, MHKL is recognised for his deep, emotional selections and he loves to play long, immersive sets.
