Ptarmigan existed as a project space in Vallila from 2009-2011 and a mobile curatorial/creative platform until 2014. We no longer exist as an organised collective, but this website will continue to serve as an archive of the activities produced as/at Ptarmigan during these years.
Ernest Truely is an artist from America working in the Estonian context. He lectures on New Media Art at Baltic Film and Media School and was a cornerstone of Culture Factory Polymer until his Ptarmigan sanctuary. During his time at Ptarmigan, Ernest will explore sustainability issues for contemporary artists, community development and constructing meaning from daily rituals. He addtionally will investigate the realm of glitch artwork, pushing into the tension between the real, virtual and fragmented in a search for the authentic digital original.
