Joost van Eeden from Amsterdam is this week in Tampere to visit the MindTrek Conference - like 800 other MindTrekkers from all over. But Joost has a special reason: he represents DonkeyPedia, which is one of the three nominees of the Nokia Ubimedia MindTrek Award. Donkeypedia is also nominated for the online category in EUROPRIX Multimedia Awards, so Joost will attend also the EUROPRIX Multimedia Festival in Graz in November.
MindTrek 2012 was conferences, workshops, competitions, parties etc, but from our (Art&Media students and lecturers) point of view above all an outstanding opportunity to learn and network.
If you want to see the general picture go here and if you want to check all the details go to MindTrek.org.
This story introduces only some glimpses into three brilliant days of MindTrek.
