In the context of the map me if you will programme of Pixelache Helsinki 2011, Christian Nold (UK) has been invited by curator Susanne Jaschko and Pixelache, to realise a new art project in Helsinki during 2011-2012. This new project called Suomenlinna Money Lab takes place on Suomenlinna island.
The Suomenlinna Money Lab project explores the island as a place of social, cultural and economic contact and exchange. The focus is on ‘local money’ as a social medium for people and a localised object that shapes and represents a geographical place. The project runs in an open and participatory context, so anyone is free to join in and help directing the process.

With every electronic payment, phone call, text message, travel, visit to a website or dentist, we produce digital...
