“…North (1990: 861) argues that "sculpture becomes public by taking the spatial experience of its audience as a subject." The resulting "cultural space" becomes a meeting ground for both agitation (Tunbridge and Ashworth, 1996;Hicks, 2020;Ranja and Silva, 2020) and potentially peace making (Higgins-Desbiolles and Blanchard, 2010;Hautamäki and Laine, 2020). As Farmaki (2017: 538) notes, peace building is not a "static but a continuous process" and tourism can support or moderate positive peace building.…”

“…We explore how the various approaches to destruction, banishment and subsequent redisplays and re-contextualisation of the material icons of the recent political past are used in attempts to build and support peace, stability and sustainability over the period of thirty years following seismic political change throughout the region. We examine how these tangible, often monumental, objects become subject to being physically moved, damaged or destroyed (Goodrich and Bombardella, 2016;Hautamäki and Laine, 2020). The complexity lies in the myriad of ways that individual and collective local, national and tourist remembering differs, colludes and collides with the formal narratives of contemporary place-making.…”

“…Figurative art often depicts true forms of life, such as humans, animals, and objects, displaying accurate proportions, dimensions, and precise details and features [31]. As a result, they frequently serve as commemorative and symbolic representations of events and individuals [32,33]. The specific information and actual events portrayed in figurative art enable viewers to rapidly process visual information, matching it with corresponding knowledge and memory, making it more readily comprehensible [34].…”

As urbanization quickens, the role of public art in urban landscape design gains prominence. Nevertheless, how stylistic characteristics of landscape public art affect aesthetic preferences remains insufficiently discussed, particularly with objective assessment methods. The use of event-related potential (ERP) can offer neurophysiological evidence to support research and practice in landscape art design. We employed a 2 (artistic features) × 2 (professional proficiency) repeated-measures design, involving abstract and figurative experimental stimuli; both experts and non-experts participated, with their aesthetic reactions and relevant electroencephalographic data recorded. Behavioral findings show a preference for figurative public artworks regardless of professional background. From neurophysiological outcomes, stimuli elicit an elevated N100 during early perceptual processing, signifying increased attentional resources. During aesthetic processing, figurative stimuli more effectively evoke positive emotions, particularly among professionals, yielding a heightened P200 response. Conversely, abstract stimuli may evoke a higher N200 amplitude, reflecting augmented negative biases. Nevertheless, non-experts exhibit no marked differences in their stimulus responses during aesthetic processing. Research indicates that low-level physical attributes of public artworks are initially noted, while the visual processing of artistic traits lies at a higher perceptual level, necessitating specialized expertise involvement. Furthermore, the complexity of visual perceptual processing plays a significant role in the assessment of landscape art preferences. This study not only offers crucial reference indices for designing urban landscapes that satisfy diverse public aesthetic needs but also lays the foundation for neural techniques to assess landscape design preferences and expands the field of landscape design research.

“…(See e.g., Seitsonen & al. 2019;Hautamäki & Laine 2020;Lintunen & Heimo 2021: 43-44. ) The Civil War and the ruthless and unjust punishing of the defeated do not easily fit into the grand narrative of Finland, which emphasizes the idea of a united nation.…”

Conflicts such as wars, rebellions and revolutions often give rise to songs that pass on from one generation to another. This applies also to the bloody 1918 Finnish Civil War, which led to the death of nearly 37 000 people (about 1% of the population), of whom the majority 27 000 belonged to the defeated, the Reds, and affected Finnish society on every level and in long-lasting ways, some of which can still be acknowledged today. For decades after the war official and public commemoration of the war dead applied only to the winners, the Whites, whereas the Reds were forced to mourn and honour their dead in the private sphere. On both sides, songs were first a popular way of keeping up spirits and then after the war to commemorate the war. These songs were sung at funerals, parades as well as to mock the enemy. Today some of these songs as well as new ones on the topic are still popular and circulate in various versions on YouTube and other social media sites. These music videos are often remixes of original footage and photos used together with images from other sources. The most popular videos have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times. In this article, we explore the digital heritage of the 1918 Finnish Civil War by giving first an overview of the musical legacy of the war and then analyse how and why this musical legacy continues to flourish on YouTube.
