Torrents in exchange for personal data, collaboration

I conducted a mini-poll yesterday, as a follow-up to a blog post I wrote on the need for creators to get creative around torrenting and piracy. This is how I thought and the results of the poll (disclaimer – I’m aware this might not hold up to full scientific scrutiny, so take all of this…Read more Torrents in exchange for personal data, collaboration

Substituting piracy for exchange of favors?

Following up on discussions I've had with some people after my previous post on piracy, I've decided to check with you, the users, some theories. I.e., I believe the currencies we're working with will be different in the future - $$ and €€ will not be the only thing worth something to providers of content…Read more Substituting piracy for exchange of favors?

Memes from MIPCOM

I was invited to be on the panel at the wrap-up session of MIPCOM in October last year. James, the moderator, asked us participants to pick an image that would sum up our feelings of the week, or an image of something that had stood out for us in one way or another. Now, as…Read more Memes from MIPCOM

Future Media 2.0 – some thoughts

First Motion, a pan-Baltic area EU project, organised a conference this week in Riga, Latvia, and were kind enough to invite me to attend and take part in a panel discussion on funding and transmedia.

Four criteria for evaluating IP and transmedia potential

A quick post on one thing I’ve been looking into lately; with all the rage around multiplatform storytelling, transmedia storytelling etc, many of the examples and projects up right now are ”fresh” transmedia projects, fairly recently developed and released. At the same time, there are countless great narratives already in existence that could work wonderfully…Read more Four criteria for evaluating IP and transmedia potential

Reflections on transmedia – Nordic Panorama edition

I’ve spent this weekend up in Oulu to attend the Nordic Panorama festival for documentaries and short films, and more precisely to act as a consultant at the Transmedia Hackathon that Laura Marie Kiralfy put on there via her Encounters project. The company I work for, MediaCity Finland, also played host to the 2nd Nordic…Read more Reflections on transmedia – Nordic Panorama edition

Five transmedia projects – autumn 2012

All of a sudden, it’s autumn again and we’re coming to the home stretch of the year. Fear not, even though the days grow shorter and the weather colder (unless you’re reading this down under, in which case I envy you a little bit) it looks like we’ll have plenty to take part of and…Read more Five transmedia projects – autumn 2012
