New Media Meeting 07 is getting closer. This years theme is “Digital Media and Arts in Urban Environments” - integration and the usage of digital media technology and arts in urban surroundings. I’m really impressed by the program, especially considering that this is just the second year the festival is running. Some of the highlights are a onedotzero showcase, installations and a workshop from Zach Lieberman and Theo Watson and the French VJ collective Play together with dAta. New Media Meeting is well on its way to become one of the most important new media events in Scandinavia. The dates are September 21-22 and the location is Norrköping, Sweden…

Last year me, Carl-Johan Rosén and Marcus Appelback held a Processing workshop at NMM. This year Zach and Theo will host an openFrameworks workshop. I’m sure it will be really cool and I would so much have liked to participate somehow. Unfortunately it collides with the kick-off of the Man Machine II project which I will be working with this autumn / winter (more about that later)…
