I am an IT consultant gone haywire.<br />
I am now exploring the <strong>interaction</strong>s between<br />
modern technology, visual art & electronic art<br />
forms working with time-based media.<br />
I grew up in Sweden <strong>and</strong> moved to Sydney in<br />
order to pursue a Masters in Interaction Design<br />
<strong>and</strong> Electronics Arts at University <strong>of</strong> Sydney.<br />
Below is a selection <strong>of</strong> my projects.<br />
MotiBin<br />
My research (2011.idea9202.net/archives/988)<br />
identified a user group with high motivation in<br />
regard to recycling but who still struggle to act<br />
pro-environmental due to practical constraints<br />
such as lack <strong>of</strong> time, lack <strong>of</strong> money <strong>and</strong> lack<br />
<strong>of</strong> information. MotiBin aims to help these<br />
users increase their recycling by addressing<br />
such constraints, primarily allowing its users to<br />
underst<strong>and</strong> how their individual recycling action<br />
is making a dierence.<br />

WWE – The Rock Scissors Paper Game<br />
WWE – The Rock Scissors Paper Game was<br />
created on the open hardware platform Arduino<br />
as part <strong>of</strong> the MIDEA program at University <strong>of</strong><br />
Sydney. The device is inspired by the WWE<br />
wrestling scene where one could imagine the<br />
wrestlers in the locker rooms before the match<br />
settling who’s going to win through a game<br />
<strong>of</strong> Rock Scissors Paper. This device features<br />
Mario, Domo kun <strong>and</strong> Batman as “wrestlers”.<br />
Two players go head-to-head by selecting one<br />
wrestler each <strong>and</strong> placing them in the “arena”.<br />
