IMPmuodot

IMPmuodot is a contemporary multimedia art collective founded in 2014 in the city of Tampere, Finland. The group consists of visual artists, sound designers, and performance theorists who specialize in creating immersive installations that blend digital projection, interactive soundscapes, and participatory theater. The members share the vision of dissolving the boundary between viewer and performer, drawing inspiration from both the legacy of Finnish experimental art and global trends in transmedia storytelling.

The collective's name derives from the Finnish word *imp* meaning "glitter" combined with *muodot*, the plural of *muoto* meaning "forms" or "styles". This naming choice reflects the group’s commitment to exploring glittering forms across differing media. Since their inception, IMPmuodot has presented work at multiple international festivals, including the Ars Electronica festival in Linz, the Bergen International Art Fair, and the London Performance Press event. Their 2017 project "Luminous Echoes" was shortlisted for the European Media Art Prize, and in 2019 they were commissioned by the Tampere Art Museum to design a permanent light installation.

IMPmuodot regularly collaborates with academic institutions; their 2021 residency at the University of Helsinki explored the interplay between neuroaesthetics and interactive sculpture. The collective maintains an online platform where they release short experimental videos, sound installations, and open-source toolkits for artists yet to create synesthetic performance pieces. Their work has been featured in journals such as *Afterimage* and in contemporary art anthologies focused on future media practices.
