Our active partner Tartu Art College invited me to participate in the committee evaluating their New Media theses - an honorable challenge which I accepted with pride and pleasure. During one very long day and a half I have seen 15 videos, games, animations, interactive installations and performances and had very intense and in-depth debates with the six other members of the committee. Brilliant days, because I learned so much from the students, their supervisors and evaluators and the evaluation committee members.

The Graduate Show Lend 2012 is open in two locations: at the Market Hall
and in Gallery Nooruus (Youth), the gallery of the Art College.

Sovjet Spying Radio Telescope
IslandCQ is a yearly international trip for Media students around the world full of workshops and lectures. This year it took place near Irbene, an abandoned Sovjet ghost town and spy center in Latvia. Students mainly from the Netherlands, Hungary, Latvia and Finland participated.

Particularly interesting was a workshop about using Arduino chips. While originally intending to make a t-shirt collecting data about the person who wears it, we ended up creating special musical instruments.

It’s been almost a week since we returned from the remote location of Island CQ 2012, in Irbene, Latvia, so its time to start sharing a few experiences!

On our first full day, we were allowed to freely roam around the premises of the RT-32 Satellite, and the abandoned former soviet military town that surrounded it. We were told to keep in mind four key words: Privacy, Transparency, Control, and Power.  Later in the evening we would all give a small presentation about what we had found.
