_{In his video works Arvola utilises CRT TVs and VHS tapes as well as digital video techniques, programming and CGI which he processes using analogue video sources.

_{“Arvola’s sound world fully reveals itself through a thick forest carpet of electronic layers, ghost sounds, humming, buzzing, scampering, and the wind in the trees. By fully committing to the noises in his head, Arvola is able to take us with him to somewhere hidden and unique.” – The Quietus}
