This is the research diary of researcher Lisbeth Klastrup, since february 2001 sharing her thoughts on life, universe, persistent online worlds, games, interactive stories and internet oddities with you on the www.

I am currently on leave from the IT University of Copenhagen, and from aug. 2006 - aug. 2007 working as Associate Research Professor at the Center for Design Research Copenhagen, an independant center situated at the School of Architecture. During this year, I will be working on a book about the development of aesthetics, design and interaction on the WWW, together with colleague Ida Engholm.

My blog often reflects how busy I am in general, so posting may be pretty irregular, as well as my potential response to comments. But I read them!

MY ACADEMIC LIFE IN 24 BOXES, then VIENNA & HOLIDAY!
When I left work yesterday, I left behind me 26 moving boxes: 24 boxes with academic material mostly, and 2 boxes with computer equipment (it took me some 7 hours to pack all - sigh). They contain all the material I have gathered during my almost 5 years at the IT University + several of the articles and books I brought with me from my days as a student of Comparative Literature - I dare not think of how many boxes I will have after another 5 years...

Today, "Adam" the removal compagny will take them and all the other boxes belonging to all the other employees at the IT University and move them to our new domicile in the "Ørestaden" region - a short walk from University of Copenhagen Faculty of Humanities and right next to the Danish Broadcasting Corporation's (DR) new building (to be completed in 2005).There is a webcam of our building here. And some photos here.

Apart from the fact that we no longer will have a carate training center and a hair dresser's school as the nearest neighbours, the new house is much bigger, much more "university like" (we now have proper auditoriums and real lecture rooms) and there is a new and bigger canteen and a small book store even. The departments will be sitting much more closely together (especially DIAC have in the old house been distributed all over the place), so hopefully there will also be more social life in the departments once people get back from holiday and move into their offices.

So our move to Rued Langgaardsvej is definitely a move for the better in many ways. However, I will miss being able to easily talk to people from all over the faculty, and never having more than a 2 min walk to get hold of someone important. I'll miss sitting next to people from other departments and from their conversations learning a lot about what goes on in the house. In the new house it will mostly require longish walks, through many doors, to get to other departments and the people I need to talk to once in a while, especially as head. For that reason, I fear that communication patterns will change in the new house: there will be much more email and less face-to-face talk and that worries me a bit. Yet, we have to live in the new house for some while before really knowing what living in it is really like.

Regarding the near future, today, I'm frantically preparing my Blogtalk presentation and then tomorrow I'm off to Vienna for the Blogtalk 2.0 conference - looking much forward to that - meeting up with both old and new friends. I'll be speaking monday afternoon, btw, if you happen to be in Vienna. After the conference finishes, I will hang around in Vienna for a few days, playing tourist and hopefully getting to see some art museums and then it's back home for my SUMMER HOLIDAY - which will be spent in Denmark in as relaxing way as possible!

I'll be back at work - and blogging - around July 27th. Might post some photos from Vienna when I get back, but that you'll see. Meanwhile - have a nice summer :)
