[esocialaction] open movie project

[Kari-Hans Kommonen]

hi! we could also be interested in this sort of thing at the Media  
Lab UIAH in Helsinki. We have several initiatives in these directions  
within our Mediaspaces portfolio (see http://arki.uiah.fi/ 
mediaspaces) - for example an IP Redesign project being developed...  
(take a look at http://arki.uiah.fi/ipredesign) ... it includes the  
idea of using audiovisual media in the form of a mediaspace to  
highlight the issues and document the process etc. It seems very  
compatible with these ideas....

cheers, kari-hans
