2009.02.18Master's thesis
Am in the end of my studies at KTH and it's time for doing my master's thesis. About a year ago Gunnar Camner and me found a topic we were interested in, mobile banking. The whole autumn of 2008 we worked on finding a good research question and partnerships. Last week we received a scholarship from Sida that enables us to conduct a field study in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This means I will spend March to May this year there, yay!

Man Machine
This autumn is all about Man Machine, an art exhibition that I'm helping to produce. Physical Interaction Lab, Interactive Institute and three artists (Ebba Matz, Christian Partos and Matti Kallioinen) is working together. The exhibition opens 7/12 at Tekniska Museet. Be sure to check it out!
2007.09.02Requesting a website
I was visiting the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin (magnificant building) a couple of weeks ago and they had a not so interesting exhibition of impressionist art.
And I started thinking that those audio tours that they have at museums and started to see the benefites with them. But at the time it never feel worth the hassel to pay to borrow one of thoose audio players. Especially when I always cary around my own, my mobile phone.
If I had the audio toures on my personal music player I wound enjoy going to museeums more and thereby going more often.
So what I want is that everybody starts ripping the audio toures and post them on a future website dedicated to audio tours. Please!
2007.07.19Berlin
I have moved to Berlin for a couple of months this summer. It's lovely here, the cheap food, the nightlife and the city itself. My reason for moving here is that a couple of friends are mine are starting up a new webcomapny and I help them build it.
