RESEARCH MERITS I started working with practice-based interdisciplinary research at the Interactive Institute (today RISE), in 2004 as an artist and developer in the Share studio for learning and digital media, before initiating the research studio Performing Pictures in 2006 together with Geska Brecevic, which is today an independent platform for artistic work and research led by me and Geska. Since 2004 Performing Pictures have initiated and led several large-scale international art projects dealing with moving images in public as well as two artistic research projects funded by The Swedish Research Council: Cinésense (2006-08), and Changing Places (2010-12), at IMS/Stockholm University. I have received several project grants from The Swedish Arts Grants Committee and research and development funds from The Royal Institute of Arts). PUBLIC WORK I have made public film installations have been installed at museums and cultural centres such as Papalote museo del niño, Museo Berber Jimenez; Centre Suedois, Historiska museet, and open-air expositions such as Hagalund, Solna. Performing Pictures has also initiated and managed several EU-projects within the Culture 2000-program.

Responsible for the development of curricula, and tutoring students in dramaturgy, film production, animation, video installation work, hardware hacking, projection mapping and augmented reality. I've been a part of the Royal Institute of Art's research council for 5 years and I have produced exhibitions such as at the Academy of Fine Arts, Kulturhuset, and Tomteboda post terminal.
Employed as part-time researcher and artist in a 3-year project funded by the Swedish Research Council. In 'Changing Places', I worked with studies of local and transnational events that are mediated in public places. The project was led by prof. emerita Karin Becker.
I was recruited to the Interactive Institutes' Share studio in Stockholm (2004-2005) working with research on digital media and tools as part of learning and education. Within the framework of my work, I developed prototypes, which were tested in different social contexts in collaboration with other researchers. In 2006 I got free rein to establish my own studio together with my partner. My job now also included securing funding for new research projects in the field of moving images in public places. This studio was spun off and became an independent studio in the form of a limited company (Performing Pictures AB).
I was responsible for the development of a new department of art and technology at the University of Gotland. My work consisted of designing a curriculum, recruiting professors and teachers and leading a game development program where I held several courses. At the launch of that education, I produced the exhibition All Systems Go at Björkanderska Magasinet in Visby on behalf of the university and the municipality
