How do you create stillness in one of the busiest places in the world? This installation brought an idea of silence, distinct to Finland, into Goa, in an attempt to put a halt to some of the noise and movement that surrounds us here. When a person entered the room of the installation, they would notice how the light drifted around the space, how the floor shifted and shook.

Led by faculty curator Pipsa Asiala, the Media Lab group from Aalto University created Northern Shadows, as a means to explore the possibilities that technology opens to new ways of communication and expression, in order to deal with current technological challenges in design and creative production.
