HopArt in Helsinki (Harakka Island), Finland, Aug 2003.
Today a flashback from the beginning of the HopArt Tour. This video is from 2003, when the HopArt was performed in Helsinki, Finland at the Harakka Island. The HopArt Tour is today on it's 9th year (started in 2002).
It was a windy day to jump, hence the poor sound quality (sorry about that). This was jump # 10 on the HopArt Tour. The jump was performed in accordance with the Micro Nation Summit in Helsinki where the Minister was involved in Round Table talks. Finally the people of Finland got to experience the man who is a national anthem.
Every jump is a protest jump against the order of things and the audience in Helsinki was invited to make complaints that they'd like the Minister to resolve in his jump.
Don't try this at home, kids. Remember we are professional. Wear a life vest at all times, be seated properly and don't rock the boat. More info at: ministryofart.se & ministryofart.se/blog.

Vilma Timonen Quartet: Tuuli (Live version at Harakka Island, Helsinki, 2015)
Tuuli from Vilma Timken Quartet's album Drops.
TUULI Säv & San Vilma Timonen - WIND, comp. & lyrics Vilma Timonen
I thought the wind was on its way, I felt its glance upon me. I took it for my own. I wanted the feeling to come, to come with words and magic. I thought a ship would come, with words and magic, with great wishes. What I thought, I didn’t get. What I felt, didn’t exist. What I planned to do, I never returned to. Where I wanted to go, never happened. I looked at your face, listened and waited. I wanted to feel it – to hear the great words rain upon me – to fall into them and disappear.
Luulin tuulen tulevaksi
Kuulin katseen kohdallani
Otin omakseni
Tahdoin tunteen tulevaksi
::Sanoin taioin saapuvaksi::
Luulin tuulen tulevaksi
Kuulin katseen kohdallani
Otin omakseni
Luulin laivan saapuvaksi
Sanoin taioin saapuvaksi
Suurin toivein tulevaksi
Minkä luulin, sitä en saanut
Minkä tunsin, sitä ei ollutkaan
Minkä aioin, siihen en palannut milloinkaan
Minne tahdoin, sitä ei tullutkaan
Katsoin kohden kasvojasi
Kuuntelin ja odotin
Tahdoin tuntea sen
Kuulla lauseet laatuiset
Sanat suuret satavaksi
Niihin kaatua ja kadota
Harakka Island Harakka ja Suomenlinnaa
Harakka on entinen Puolustusvoimien saari, joka avattiin yleisölle vuonna 1989. Puolustusvoimilla oli ollut saarella kemian koelaboratorio Oiva Kallion suunnittelemassa, vuonna 1928 valmistuneessa rakennuksessa. Lisäksi saarella on venäläisten vuonna 1908 rakentama kasarmi, joka nykyisin toimii Helsingin kaupungin luontokeskuksena, sekä muita 1800-luvulla rakennettuja puurakennuksia.
Harakka Island ... at the end of the video you will see Suomenlinna.
The first mentions of the island of Harakka date to a map published in the mid-17th century. The island of Harakka was part of the village of Tölö (or Töölö) until the year 1643, when Queen Kristina transferred the land belonging to Tölö Manor by deed to the City of Helsinki.
In 1922, after World War I, the Finnish State took over control of Harakka in accordance with the Dorpat Peace Treaty. The imposing main building on the island, the Finnish Defence Forces’ chemical test facility, seems to have taken over from the rapidly fading traces of the nineteenth century. The building, designed by the architect Oiva Kallio, was completed in 1929 and is a well-preserved specimen of the 1920s classical style.
Ön nämns för första gången på en karta från mitten av 1600-talet. Ön hörde till Tölö bys marker ända fram till 1643 då Tölö herrgårds marker överfördes med drottning Kristinas gåvobrev till Helsingfors stad. Den aktiva användningen av ön började först efter finska kriget med Ryska statens fästningsåtgärder. När Finland blivit självständigt, blev ön kvar i militär användning och öns nuvarande huvudbyggnad, som fungerat som Försvarsmaktens kemiska testanläggning, blev färdig år 1929. Nuförtiden finns det i huvudbyggnaden arbetsutrymmen för konstnärer samt möteslokaler.

Vilma Timonen Quartet: Drops (Live version at Cafe Piritta, Helsinki, Finland 16.9.2016)
DROPS comp. & lyrics Vilma Timonen - Säv&San Vilma Timonen
My dearest, talk the trees into bloom, make sunshine with your words. Tell your stories, turn glances clear. Would you hear my whisper, would you hear me asking, whispering voiceless – would you feel the answers even if you couldn’t hear my questions? My love, my clearest, my dearest: sing till the seas turn to mead, droplets splashing. Smile with me, watch the moon with me. Would you hear my whisper – would you hear me asking, whispering voiceless – would you feel the answers even if you couldn’t hear my questions?
The questions make us wet, the droplets are splashing. These storm-whipped waves are crashing on the shore. I vanish into silence.
Rakkaani, parhaani, kauneimpani
Puhu puut puhtahiksi, säteet selkeiksi sanele
Kerro katseet kuulahiksi toista tuuli tuntuvainen
Kuulisitko kuiskaukseni
Kuulisitko kun kyselen
Kuiskaelen äänetönnä
Tuntisitko vastaukset vaikket kuulis kysymyksiäin
Rakkaani, tuntuvaisimpani, kalleimpani
Naura nuo meret mesiksi, pisarat pirskahtelevat
Hymyä kerallani, katso kuuta kuiskaele
Kerro katseet kuulahiksi toista tuuli tuntuvainen
Kuulisitko kuiskaukseni
Kuulisitko kun kyselen
Kuiskaelen äänetönnä
Tuntisitko vastaukset vaikket kuulis kysymyksiäin
Kysymykset kastelevat, pisarat pirskahtelevat.
Lyövät laineet myrskytuulen, hiljaisuuteen katoan
Whitefish outside Helsinki city
Two nice catsh.

This is the best investment strategy we have to ban fracking & create a Solar Economy.
If we each focus intensely in 2016 on building 100-panel solar homes in each town & farm, we can create a solar economy.
What power does a lone individual have to stop global warming?
If you build a 100-panel solar A-frame home,
that one act can do more to stop climate collapse than any other act.
Yes, you may not be able to put 100-panels on an old home.
We have a mass movement based on building new 100-panel solar homes.
There are now such solar activists in 9 nations.
Each new home must be the magic number: 100 panels solar A-frame homes.
There are now 200,000 new solar homes each with 100-panels, worldwide.
70 K in Germany alone.
All these nations are years ahead of California.
We homeowners need to put more pressure on the Legislature to create a solar economy.
There is one person running for the State Senate, SF Supervisor Scott Wiener, who is open to writing such a law for California.
If we can elect him.
Since the mid 1990's, would climate conferences have been regarded as the pivotal focus for introducing energy change. A change which needs to be agreed globally and implemented city by city. As a result, the world public was surprised and appalled by the embarrassing conclusion of the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris 2015 and Copenhagen in 2009, for they had not believed its failure possible. The leaders from corporations & NGO's, 350, etc, had been favorable: a blatantly pressing problem, optimistic government and corporate announcements, insistent appeals by NGOs, 350, a huge influx of 365,000 participants, and the presence of 120 government heads, making it a G120 summit. It was the largest political conference in world history.
But the debacle that occurred was not surprising. The climate conference ran according to the same script as had each of its previous 20 predecessors since 1995: dramatic now or never appeals in the run-up to the conference, small-minded and paralyzing haggling during the conference leading to pitiable results,
No mention of the successful 100-panel solar home programs employed in Germany, France, India, China and by the Solar Justice Teams in California.
No reports back from the cities conducting the highly successful Solar Payment Policies that require Utilities from Germany to Maine to Japan to pay $0.99 kwh for solar.
If there is a single guilty party responsible the meager results at Paris, then it the idea of a world climate conference itself. An idea based on two highly questionable premises. The first: a global solution in which everyone is allocated similar obligations, is essential.
The real problem is the conformity of thought within the emerging community of diplomats and research institutes. The only 4 groups with an original idea was the mayors from Germany, Japan, China & the Solar Justice Team from San Francisco. These 4 groups were totally boycotted by the corporate media: CNN, ABC, CBS, etc.
To believe there is no alternative solar policy is an error.
This is why many people are surprised that Germany & China are now the world leaders in solar energy generation & the building of 100-panel solar homes.
You still have a chance to save America from the elite.
Build yourself a 100-panel solar home to ban fracking.
That is the best investment you can make in energy,
and also help give the working class more power.
That is the best tool the working class has to ban fracking, nukes, Big Coal & Big Oil.
This creates millions of local jobs that cannot be off-shored.
This is the best way to shut down nukes, gas, coal & Big Oil.
Follow the leadership of German Working Class, require Utilities to pay $0.49 kwh to solar home owners who sell surplus solar onto the grid.
Pass a law, like Lancaster, Calif, & San Francisco just did, that requires all new buildings to be 100% solar powered.
Thank you Supervisor Scott Wiener!!!
Elect Scott Wiener to California Senate because he is a great solar thinker willing to fight Big Oil & pass laws that bans fracking.
