Kristoffer Gansing & Linda Hilfling have been collaborating since 1999. Both have a background in filmmaking. Kristoffer is currently a PhD student in media and communication at K3-Malmö University and Linda is completing her master in Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. In their projects together they have been exploring new ways of producing and distributing local media. These projects have been collaborations with different communities: with CUDI in Vollsmose 2000-2002, Oda Projesi in Istanbul 2003 and Sarai New Delhi 2004 and currently with the local tv project tv-tv in Copenhagen. In 2005 they initiated the media archeological festival The Art of the Overhead, an ongoing project which pays tribute to the almost forgotten overhead projector.

Calculating Danmark

Currently we are travelling to the School of Arts & Communication in Malmö where we get some expert advice from our friend David Cuartielles on how to best hack the old calculator we are going to use to display data about Second Life culled from the net. We are using the Arduino open-source hardware platform to connect the calculator to a computer that takes the data from the Internet and sends it back to the calculator, which then prints the results. The following pictures shows the process of finding out which connections inside the calculator control the different buttons, in order to be able to connect the functions we need to the arduino board and remote control them through a python script. This old-school calculator installation will also be streamed from its physcial location at Statens Museum for Kunst into SL itself.
