Marita Liulia is a versatile visual artist and a pioneer of multimedia. She has always worked in close collaboration with engineers and programmers. Around 2000, her long-time collaborator, programmer Jacke Kastelli, discovered a bug in the Macromedia Director program. This discovery led Kastelli to create of a new kind of interactive tool that Liulia uses in live performances. The artist/programmer duo created Manipulator(2002) and Animator (2004) with musician/composer Kimmo Pohjonen. The stage collaboration continued with dancer/choreographer Tero Saarinen in Hunt, a solo dance performed by Saarinen himself to Igor Stravinsky’s stormy classic, The Rite of Spring.
