Hej hej!

I'm a designer interested in the relationship among objects, listening and space.

More information about my background on a Resumé (pdf). Also check research.

Listen to my musical little monster, named “I Buried Paul”.

I collect images that I find amusing at “Republic of Perkele”.

I have also taught a workshop on Active Listening from 2007 to 2009.

I Shuffle

A playful critique on contemporary music listening habits.

Music listening habits change with technology. Nowadays, one faces the dialectics between more music getting to more people more fast, and a general smaller attention span for music, the so-called "artist's paradox"; more storage space for more music one never has time to listen to.

By amplifying some of these habits and rituals, "I Shuffle" intends to raise awareness, provoke and stimulate a reflection upon them. Therefore, four small units were built - based on a(n) (in)famous mp3 player -, each one of them emphasizing one particular aspect: shuffling, passive listening, short attention span, movement and etc.

"I Shuffle" uses Arduino, Processing and Puredata.

This Project was exhibited in "Hochschultage 2011" at the Hochschule für Künste, Bremen (Germany) in February 2011.
