riwid

Have been thinking about putting some of my works and my cv on this site for some time and finally put something here. You find my CV under About riwid a some works of mine under Works.

I don’t post here very often but now I finally announce that I from now on live in Göteborg, Sweden. The city where I am born and mostly grown up.

But although it feels like home it is actually like being new to this city since I haven’t lived here for 11 years.

I found out in Helsinki that I really like to live close to the sea which I now do. The picture is taken only 10 minutes away from my new neighborhood Majorna.

I am now exhibiting my Master project IMPROVe in the final exhibition of University of Art and Design Helsinki. Place is Lume in the same building complex as the school. More about my contribution.

With my guitar-duo VerhaverbekeWiderberg vs Tv-Out visuals on Sunday April 1st in the Pixelache 2007 festival in Helsinki. In Koko Teatteri at 20.00.

Made my own Micro TV transmitter yesterday! Yes it works with a normal analogue TV and transmits a couple of meters. Make your own with the instructions from www.silenttv.net. I did it with the help from Adam Hyde who has done www.streamingsuitcase.com. The parts for the Micro TV transmitter doesn’t cost more than 10€ and you find them in your local electronics-store.

After going to the wrong youth hostel in Linz, Austria, I am now finally in the right now soon getting to sleep. Am here for exhibiting and performing at Ars Electronica, the mother of all new media festivals. Will exhibit IMPROVe at the Campus exhibition here. Then I will perform at café zum Rothen Krebsen on Wednesday August 30 with IMPROVe, on Monday September 4 as a dj and on Tuesday September 5 with mine and Teemu Kivikangas audio-visual ice-project Metamorphosis.

Excuse the absence of images on this page. Just changed server and all the images were lost. Goint to replace them some day…

I am now in the mountains in southern Italy at the festival Interferenze. Performing today with IMPROVe. Beautiful area, excellent locally produced food and very nice people!
