yesterday i learned of the death of mika "lumi" tuomola, a finnish new
media artist. maybe some of you on this list have known him.
i only met mika once in person, but he was a close friend of my Avatar
Body Collision colleague leena saarinen, & was quite often in the
background of our rehearsals so he was very present in my life during
those years. i remember him as a funny and smart guy who was
enthusiastic about experimenting & trying out different ways of using
new technologies in creative ways. he often gave us feedback or other
support for our work.
mika made a significant contribution to the development of interactive
media arts. in the 90s he wrote & directed one of the first online
interactive dramas, & in 2006 in collaboration with leena saarinen he
developed "accidental lovers", an interactive TV series where viewers
could influence the plot by sending text messages from their mobile
phones. he became a professor at Politecnico di Milano in 2015.
