Kiwa Noid

KIWA is multichannel meta-artist, based in Tartu and Tallinn, Estonia. Currently he is resident artist at EMS/Fylkingen in Stockholm. He actively explores and blends different media, from paintings and conceptual objects to total audiovisual environments: all together functioning as a hypertextual research of meaning-making and cultural codes on different levels, collective and personal myths.

He blends the meaning of authorship on different levels. He is interested in quote, pastiche, games of language and identity, (post)psychoanalysis and schizoanalysis were self-explanatory as artistic methods; an important place is also taken up by such keywords as conceptuality, simulacrum and absurd. The art of Kiwanoid is a labyrinth, or rather a labyrinth in a labyrinth.

KIWA is also active as lecturer in the Estonian Academy of Arts (since 2006) and curator (since 1999). He initiated a series of multimedia events with a code name "Metabor" (2001-2004) and publication of anthology of experimental literature "Nutritive Milk of Mother Heroine - A Textual Lens" (2006). Last year he also finished his first full-length documentary movie "Wariazone" (with anthropologist Terje Toomistu) about Indonesian transgender phenomenon.
