Sarah presents many of her artworks for ‘pot luck’ selection within her own art vending machine, sponsored by Pepsi Cola, whilst others will be made available across the gallery walls.Here are some images of the Pepsi machine decorated with movie stills of characters drinking the aforementioned Pepsi-Cola. |  Mari Hokkanen by Alexandra Pereira
Mari Hokkanen (b. 1979) is a fantastic young Finnish female photographer: talented, original and technically skilled. Mari appreciates nostalgic places or environments where she feels she can start telling a story: «I am inspired by spaces in which I can imagine people and their stories. Spaces where it is possible to sense the past», like abandoned warehouses and houses, which serve as poetic shelters for her present artistic scripts. These can be shot as far as in the Australian countryside and encompass as different characters as old ladies and alternative circus artists, piercing their skin with sharp instruments while swinging hanged in the air. |  Drama, Northern Greece by Citronella
Some photos from Citronella, all from northern Greece around the city Drama. |  Javier Velasco - Digital Artist by Javier Velasco
I have always been attracted to digital art, using the computer as a tool to express it. I use images and themes relating to the world of mass communication applied to the visual arts in my work. I have been greatly influenced by a culture of technology, capitalism, fashion and mass consumption. This is the reason why I feel so connected to the pop art period of the 1960s, even though I try to escape any particular label, exploring every style and different ways of working, which allows me to let my imagination run free.You can see my artwork (high res):WWW.JVELASCO.COM |  Sarah Pow by Sarah Pow

We donated a 123-year- old Bible, its rusted metal clasps being held together with dental floss, to the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe church in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The Bible was originally used in a Protestant church in Oklahoma, USA, from a private family there, and a 92-year-old Seattle woman gave it to a friend who gave it immediately to me in West Seattle. The elderly lady has family but no one is Christian. |  Hammering Concrete! by Thanos Kalamidas

The story around them is that - as you may know - in the media Kallio is the centre of all decadence in Helsinki. We have the dossers, the junkies, the hustlers and Thai-massage places. My own opinion is that Kallio is great and tolerant - even the angels can visit us. I have no religious purposes or feelings - I just want to show how open-minded quarter of town Kallio is! |  Alexander Mikhaylov's Digital Art by Alexander Mikhaylov

It's well known that an artist becomes more popular by dying, so I'm typing this with one hand while pummeling my head with a frozen mackerel with the other.

Eyes are organs of vision that detect light. Different kinds of light-sensitive organs are found in a variety of organisms. The simplest eyes do nothing but detect whether the surroundings are light or dark, while more complex eyes can distinguish shapes and colors. Eyes are also considered the window to our soul. |  The Shrine to Circusanity by Linda Lane
“Welcome to the land of imagination enthroned -- The Shrine to Circusanity. It is the creation of a suggestive magic and of course, the holy spot for the new religion. I'm not too crazy about the pomp, but I love the circumstance of religion. I shall have my own! And in keeping, know all ye, this disease of circumstance can upset the dark forces that require us to be passive. On the other hand, guarding against slipping into becoming a disciple of Carnivalization, we must laugh at all things polished and finished. Holding our bowling balls we say, ‘Ho, Ho Ho!’”Read the Ovi article to learn more... |  Linda Lane's Northern Life by Linda Lane

Everybody knows that 'ovi' means 'door' in Finnish and everybody deals with at least one door every day of their life.

We invite you to share your favourite doors with us in our 'The Doors' exhibition by sending a photograph and a description to submissions@ovimagazine.com |  Flying the Roam by Asa Butcher
The phenomenon began in 1998 after the now-legendary Paul Thomas spotted a photo of my future wife Päivi in Quincy Market in Boston, which has an acquaintance passing in the background looking into the camera. We began discussing this act of a stranger, in mid-stride, gawping into the lens and agreed that everybody has a photograph like this. Asa decided to pay homage to this event and began to create this moment at various locations around the world. The term "Flying the Roam" originated as a result of Päivi mishearing my brother saying "Flying to Rome" and we thought it was a suitable title for this obsession. |  Photos from George Sou by Georges Sou
