  Antti Tenetz is equal parts artist and naturalist.  He has worked and filmed throughout the North, from the Ice Sea to Siberia, and as far south as South Thailand and Greece. His works are at the crossroads of media – bio and urban arts,  Sci/Art, nature, documentary and interactive spaces. Tenetz has contributed exhibition designs, multimedia and documentaries to science and art exhibitions ranging in subject from arctic reindeer herders to interactive cityscapes. He is also actively participating as VJ in urban arts events.  The work he is doing about the wild nature human and non-human relations goes far beyond all the usual clichés and the “green-hype” movement.  His works have exhibited widely including  Thessaloniki Contemporary art museum of Greece 2009, Academy of Fine Arts Katowice 2009 (e-mobilart program), Tromsø Kunstforening 2010, and Murmansk Art Museum 2010.  Winner of three Finnish na-tional snow sculpting championships (1997 Gold, 2003 Bronze, 2005 Silver), Tenetz personifies a melding of the ar-tistic and arctic.
