About
Maa Kuu is a visual artist based in Helsinki.
AI is a machine that dreams life it never lived through, and Maa Kuu uses it to dig, not to invent. The work is emotional archaeology: the excavation of lived, inherited or imagined memory through AI image generation.
Each series works a single stratum of one life: a decade, a city, a forest at night. Each stratum demands its own instrument, because memory has no house style.
The machine proposes, in hundreds. The archaeologist keeps almost nothing and decides what was actually found.
The work is queer in method as much as in subject: it distrusts clean categories, and it keeps what refuses to fit.
Maa Kuu studied at Art School MAA and Aalto University. The name is Finnish for Earth Moon — an identity carried since 2006: virtual, queer, cosmic, alive.
