Antti Pussinen (b.1984, Finland) is a multidisciplinary visual and sound artist based in Berlin, Germany. In his artworks he uses analog and digital electronics to recreate impressions of phenomena found in nature and the universe. His latest research explores the boundary between wave physics and real world using sound and waveform imaging. His artworks have been shown in Contemporary art museum Kiasma, Art museums of
Tampere, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Hyvinkää and Kouvola in Finland; Suomesta Galleria Berlin, Freies Museum Berlin, DOX center for contemporary arts, Prague, Czech Republic and Center for Architecture, New York, USA, and several other venues. Since 2004 he is a founding member of the SWÄG collective, who runs a 2000m2 culture center in an old paper factory in Tampere Finland.

Antti Pussinen (1984, Tampere, Finland) is a multidisciplinary visual and sound artist based in Berlin. His work traces back to childhood visits to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tampere, Finland’s third largest city, where he grew up. He works across analog and digital electronics to recreate impressions of natural and cosmic phenomena, situating his practice at the intersection of visual and sound art. He moved to Berlin in February 2010 for an exhibition connected to a three-year gallery project showing Finnish artists in the city, intending to stay briefly with his then-girlfriend, now wife, before deciding to remain permanently. His recent research probes the boundary between wave physics and the physical world through sound and waveform imaging.
Pussinen’s signature technique involves repurposing analog cathode-ray televisions. He dismantles the sets to access their electron emitters, generating electromagnetic fields that he modulates with amplified sound signals; as a sound beam passes through the field it bends, and the resulting high-energy beam exposes silver photographic paper directly, producing photograms shaped by sound frequencies oscillating thousands of times per second.
His work has been exhibited at Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as the art museums of Tampere, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Hyvinkää, and Kouvola in Finland, at Suomesta Galleria and Freies Museum in Berlin, at DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, and at the Center for Architecture in New York. Since 2004 he has been a founding member of the SWÄG collective, which operates a 2000-square-metre culture center housed in a former paper factory in Tampere.
His exhibition history includes solo presentations at Walden Kunstausstellungen, Luisa Catucci Gallery (Improbable Iterations, 2022), Oksasenkatu 11 Gallery, Galleria Sculptor, and Turku Kunsthalle (Lissajous Black & White, 2019), alongside group exhibitions such as IN-VISIBLE (2024) and Céci N’Est Pas Une Photo (2020) at Luisa Catucci Gallery.
