the good news is that we have get a room, room 010 to use while working with this project.

I have ordered a projector that we can attach and use somewhere in that room.


tomorrow, thursday I will look in my book how many cards we have decided to have on the wall. I will call Espen and ask what we need to fix cards in a way we have the possibility to cover the cards with one big or several small panels. I will call Nicolas and talk to him about the specification and plan. I have to remember to ask Espen what he suggests we should do with these terrible curtains from the 80´s. My colleagues obsesse me that they want a blackboard in the room and a panel where to project. I believe we can use our big panel that covers the installation to project when we want to project. I have to order a projector too.

To be a professor I am quite handy...

I'm very exited about this wall project. Guess why? I love to be surprised, and the best way to be surprised is by working with people different from yourself. I don't think that all computer scientists are alike, but artists are at least, different from us, with different values (a piece of art doesn't have to be useful) and way of working (not top-down, from problem statement, specification, requirements and implementation).


The question is: How can we build an architecture that is effective, stimulating and robust! Effective in the sense that the important things are easy, stimulating in the sense that the interesting possibilities will be explored and robust in the sense that it doesn't have to be redesigned next Friday
working with our installation at IDI, NTNU. I will try to support this project with the energy I have to embellish a white wall, to reuse 100 (and more) cards, to work with interesting people, to learn something new.
