About:

Kaspar Kuoppamäki is a Finnish-German composer, music producer, filmmaker and media artist. In their interdisciplinary praxis rooted in music, performance and visual art, they deal with the phenomena of genre in an artistic way, questioning the cultural formations which seperate popular, experimental and underground art and music scenes, while recontextualising their distinct qualities.

In 2023 they were awarded the GigaHerz Experimental Pop Prize at the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM) for their work with the group “This Machine!”. Their works have been performed at venues and festivals such as Rhiz and Echoraum in Vienna, Stromspiesser in Essen, Fringify in Hamburg and screened at festivals, such as Pool International Dance Film Festival Berlin and Rollout in Macao.

Born in Helsinki, Kaspar is currently based in Hamburg, pursuing a masters degree at the University for Fine Arts Hamburg.
