WARM DATA - expanded cinema performance
Step into the bustling streets of Toronto through the project designed as expanded cinema, where the visual narrative unfolds in layers of urban information captured entirely on 16mm black and white film to tell the story about city symphony.
Entitled “Warm Data,” it shows deep into the fabric of the metropolis, where every frame pulses with the city dynamics and offers another dimension of understanding to what is typically learned only through quantitative data, (cold data).

Natalia Kozieł-Kalliomäki
Natalia Kozieł-Kalliomäki (FI/PL) is a visual artist living, working, inventing and having fun in Helsinki, Finland. She is a knee-deep in photo-sensitive film and expanded print-making adventure. The core of her practice became a fusion of film and print oscillating between different scales from large canvases to 16mm films, space projections and live-cinema performances. She uses analogue machinery as optical instruments to build her stories located somewhere at the borderland of print, film and theatre.
“I’m on a quest to find magic in the simplest mechanisms I find in optical tools, analogue film processes, or even a humble fold of paper to bring a smile especially in the current times of what’s unsure”
