Education

He studied sculpture at Estonian Art Academy, and philosophy at Tartu University.[2]

Career

edit

He practises experimental and interdisciplinary art, intertwining the performance art, text, sound, visual and organisatorial activity.[2]

According to Kiwa, he often does not like being repetitive or sticking to a single medium in the creative field.[3]

In 2014 he founded ;paranoia publishing,[4] which focuses on "experimental and non-creative literature, bibliomorphs, multiples and text-based art."[5]
