Earlier today I did a presentation for a large think tank established by the regional government to discuss the long term durability of the huge new university hospital to be build in Aalborg from 2013-2020, a 4 billion Danish kroner project. I chose to talk about virtuality and interaction, bits vs. atoms, open data/frameworks and […] Read More…
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…

The money has been given to our new project titled PLATFORM4.0.FUTURE, that focuses on - during 2011-2012 […] Read More…
Busy day today. Plenty of meetings, a inspirational presentation for the educational board of Aalborg Municipality ("what can help students come to Aalborg - and stay there?") - and finally, heading for Copenhagen to co-host the second biannual CC Salon that this time features three really interesting speakers: Parker Higgins from Soundcloud in Berlin, Simon […] Read More…

The giant VU-meter that Bjarke Rønnow and Ida Prag from the Platform4 volunteer crew (in collaboration with Sune Petersen) set up for Blip Festival Scandinavia last weekend has gained quite a lot of attention. Now Manchester-based online show InProcessing will be doing a live feed tonight - as well as be given the power to […] Read More…
