Mission: Pimp the entry to their real estate “The Old Car Factory”.
The house was build in the 30’s and was where the first Volvo PVs were first assembled in Stockholm.
We found old photographs in the archives from this era and made a collage on a wallpaper, pasted it up and painted it into the wall in the entrance.
This summer was the start of a new mission for us. For the Foundation Jiddra Inte, we ran a new summercamp for disadvantaged youths.
The foundation funded the week and together with local entrepreneurs made this possible.
To write about this week is quite hard. It is hard for me to find the right words. But shortly, it was an amazing process, where so many positive things happened and loads of change was born. In such a short time…
Hopefully this collaboration with Jiddra Inte will expand and we can provide more and longer camps like this.

Mission: Non-tradiotional PR to direct traffic to the promotion-site.
Our curating of arts at Trädgården in Stockholm enables us to work with great people!
We are so happy about the later project with our Portugeese alikes. Happy to bring different worlds with similar energies together across borders.

And also big big up to our friends and families who all came bye and supported this in all different ways!
This project is a collaboration between the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and the Nuclear Safety and Training (KSU) and involves using tones to explain something as abstract as the internal structure of nuclei and the ionizing radiation that they can emit. The idea to compose gamma cascades were hatched in conjunction when we worked with KTH and KSU for a couple years ago with information films about ionizing radiation.
Ionizing radiation is a natural part of the environment but also occur in forms that are created artificially, for example, in medical diagnostic radiology. Ionizing radiation can take several forms – alpha, beta and gamma – and is so energetic that it can knock out electrons from the atoms that it collides with, which turns atoms into ions. Different isotopes, which are atoms of the same element but with different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass numbers, with a characteristic combination of energies in their radiation. This gives a unique fingerprint of gamma energies for a specific isotope.
As you can see it isn´t that easy to understand. So we did two films, one site to make the public more interested to learm more about radiation. Here´s the films:
And here´s the site, just click on the screendump to get there.

We have produced this video for Bee Urban.
Bee Urban is founded by really nice people and for a really good cause, which we sympathize strongly with.

Friday, the 26th of November, Fredrik Hjelmquist, CEO of Pause Home Entertainment Store swallowed a tailor made wireless sound system and transformed into a Human Jukebox. When it comes to Pause andtailor made sound systems, anything is possible.
Kollektivet Livet did Non-Traditional PR. Worked out well. Places like Gizmodo and I am bored mentioned it and Discovery Canada even covered it! Åkestam & Holst was the Agency.
This has won a Silverlion in cannes and many other ones.

Since last fall we have been curating art at Stockholms by far best clubs Under Bron & Trädgården.
We have the honor of working with our favourite artists, exhibiting them in the most interesting environment, as well as doing a lot of installations ourselfs.
Big up to all the artists: Caper, Saga Berlin, Vold, Christopher Anderton, Olabo, Nove, Lucky Thief, Kulturföreningen Momangen & Lydia Wistisen

Mission: We are one of 4 participating artists, producing installations for the exhibition “A Journey Back Anf Forth”
About the Exhibition:
Physically the exhibition consists of four specially-produced spatial works of art and five stations for making discoveries and enjoying new experiences. The works of art and the stations are placed in a room-like environment in which the flooring elements, lighting, sound system and set designs work together to create their own “world” to investigate.
Through this world the visitor makes a journey across the landscape of Sweden from morning to night, from the core of the earth out into space, from pre-history to the future by way of the present day. The stations are timeless guides to the exhibition landscape whose figures are borrowed from various ancient geographical markers from the mountains of the north to the fertile soil of Österlen in the south.
The exhibition gives a picture of prehistoric times as a rich world of imagination and knowledge, a world with as many differences as similarities and a world that we know only from traces and fragments. But also a world that is all around us in the countryside as well as in the towns if we only know what to look for. The future is portrayed in the exhibition in an optimistic fashion, being shown as possible to influence.
Experts on prehistory and the future use signs and methods to arrive at conclusions and to draw lessons, firm convictions and confidence. They both move like travellers in a changing landscape. Can we dig up and create understanding for our prehistoric world in its entirety?
Is it possible to achieve a correct model in order to predict the future? Just as with the experts, the imagination and inventiveness of the visitors is central to understanding. Like large rooms, the artworks in the exhibition offer insights into different realities that are just as “true” as those in the curiosity stations.
Our Installations:
We used a Microsoft Surface and developed an “invention-game” as well as an hacked X-Boc Kinect to create a time-travel-window.

Mission: Social media consulting
Every now and then people, organisations and companies get in touch with us to get our input on how they can improve their presence on the net with help of a good social media strategy. A little more than a year ago, the company Middagsfrid contacted us on this matter, and now, a year later we did a follow up. We had a 2 day long course/workshop together with the founder Kicki Theander and her staff members, thoroughgoingly studying their comapnies values, language and methods to be presented on the web. We are as pleased as Middagsfrid are today, looking over the past years result.
