Playing with 450.000 volts // #platform4dk #tesla

This weekend was awesome. In Platform4 we hosted one of the most extreme voltage-meets-music experiments of all time on Danish (and European) soil: The so-called Tesla Coil Concert Experiment, also known as Tesla In Concert. Daniel Uhrenholdt, Danish creator of numerous tesla coils over the last ten years, had teamed up with us (Platform4 and […] Read More…

Fun little Platform4-segment in TV2-Nord // #platform4dk

Last week our colleagues at Aalborg Congress Center were kind enough to donate almost 100 cinema-chairs to us in Platform4 - which we accepted immediately. But funnily enough, it turned out that regional tv-news channel TV2-Nord wanted to run the hand-over as an evening story, and so it went. Watch the segment here.Last week our […] Read More…

Doing inspiration talk + BizForum presentation

Today I am doing two talks: One inspirational talk for Region Nordjylland staff under my 'Interaction and virtuality: Bits vs. atoms' theme, and the other on a Platform4/Shareplay presentation for the Business Leader Forum (ErhvervslederForum).

This past week saw the publication of a new official city presentation booklet for Aalborg, titled 'Aalborg, The Global Business Centre' made by The Commercial Department @ Aalborg Municipality.

Doing talk for Copenhagen Municipality Youth Culture Council // #platform4dk #cph

Tomorrow, I have been asked to give a presentation to the Copenhagen Municipality Youth Culture Countil at Bolsjefabrikken as part of a session to discuss the temporary cultural usage of empty buildings. My 5 cents will be to tell about Platform4 and the alternative approach we've had with this project. The whole shebang starts at […] Read More…

Rewarding Platform4 and Creative Commons talks // #platform4dk #crossmedia #cc

Yesterday and today I've been giving some really rewarding talks in Copenhagen and Aalborg. Sunday afternoon (while returning from Transmediale11 in Berlin) I had been invited as CC Public Lead to take part in a nice session in Copenhagen, where the extremely apt grassroot label Red Tape has invited the public to discuss open license […] Read More…

Arrived at Transmediale// #tm11 #berlin

I've now arrived at the Transmediale conference in Berlin, one of the highlights of the year for me. For the next 4 days I'll be curiously learning, meeting people and networking - as well as spreading the gospel on the topically relevant things that I am involved in - CrossMedia, Creative Commons, Platform4, Urlyd Audiovisual […] Read More…

What I shipped in 2010 – inspired by #sethgodin

Inspired by Seth Godin's blog post from December 30, in which he points out that it's a good exercise to sit down and look back on each year that passes and visualize to yourself what you managed to "ship" - that is, in Godin's terminology, what you managed to put into the world - including […] Read More…
