With this piece the Montreal-based artist wants to celebrate Estonia’s technological tradition and Boriss Tamm’s achievements in cybernetics. With a color palette inspired by Estonia’s flag, the mural incorporates a figurative subject with video distortion effects explored by early cybernetic artists. https://www.visittallinn.ee/eng/visitor/see-do/things-to-do/attractions-museums/179444/five-8-the-tradition-of-technological-development

This gas station “Point.S” was built in the 1970s during the Soviet era, and it served as a refueling station for military vehicles and equipment.
After Estonia regained its independence in 1991, the gas station was privatized and only continued to operate for a few more years. Point.S was forced to shut down in the early 2000s. Since then, the gas station has remained abandoned and has continued to exemplify Soviet architecture.
