In the Norwegian system an academic has four main obligations: communication, teaching, research, and innovation. The menus on this presentation site are organized according to these four categories, and I present my work accordingly. You can read all the details by clicking on the menus (see above).
This section introduces my general approach to the four obligations and presents an overview of my career.

Biography
Lars Nyre (born 1969) comes from the farm Nyre in the town of Voss in Hordaland. I live in the Bergen suburb Minde with my partner Barbara and three children. I have studied and/or worked at the Infomedia Department at the University of Bergen since 1990. I became an associate professor in 2008 and a full professor in 2012. You can read a comprehensive intellectual biography in Norwegian at larsnyre.no/biografi/.
I am currently a professor II at the Department of Media and Social Studies at the University of Stavanger. I was a professor II at Volda University College from 2008 to 2010, and also conducted my PhD work at Volda from 1997 - 2003.
Lars Nyre enjoys music under the pseudonym DJ Syrenyre.
Academic autonomy
Academia allows me to disregard short-term expectations of profit and use-value. As a professor at the University of Bergen in the democratic state of Norway I have the privilege of deciding the content of my research and innovation according to my own values, and also to explore and formulate those values over a long period of time with the methods and theories I see fit. I use this privilege for maximum effect in my exploration of new media technologies.
My research is not value free at all; it is guided by the norms of local democracy, the ideal of good communication, and technological sustainability. My main objective is to stimulate excellence in the development of local and regional media technologies in Norway.
More specifically, three technology complexes have been at the center of my attention for a number of years: support tools for journalism, immersive media and climate change communication.
Collaboration with colleagues and students are the most valuable resources by which I can explore long term scenarios and radical solutions.

In the Norwegian system an academic has four main obligations: research, teaching, communication and innovation. This section presents my communication activities.

Communication autonomy
As a professor at the University of Bergen I am expected to communicate research results and academic insights to the general public. This is a central part of the job, but it is very difficult to balance against academic autonomy. It is important not become an "expert" on everything and nothing, and to avoid becoming a voice for the needs of journalists and communicators instead of the needs of the university and my own research.
I mainly communicate my research on independent media platforms outside the mainstream press circuit. Furthermore, I never accept fees or salaries for speeches or lectures, and almost never speeches in the private sector. My communication activities take place within the framework of position as a professor in Bergen and Stavanger.
My public reach is therefore limited, but at least highly controlled. My public communication is coherent, consistent and cumulative, but it is not spread as widely in the Norwegian public as it could have been if I gave up these principles.
My autonomous approach was formulated in an essay in 2012. I had become increasingly frustrated with the subordinate role that researchers enter into as interview objects for the national and regional press. I wrote a critical essay where I explained the problem and announced that I would withdraw from the role of an interview object and pursue other avenues of communication.
You can read the Norwegian language essay here: Journalistikken koloniserer universitetet.
Main channels
Since 2012 then, most of my research communication has been published on academic websites in the local and regional context. There are three main channels for my writing.
teklab.uib.no
Most of my research and teaching is oriented to media design and innovation pedagogy, and most of my communication consists of presenting the results of these activities on the TekLab website. TekLab is a regional, interdisciplinary website for technology development in media and communication. It has been funded by a variety of sources, including the regional organization UH-nett Vest, SAMKUL in the Research Council, the University of Bergen and the Council for Applied Media Research (RAM). It is currently financed by DIKU.
Vismedia
For five years between 2016 and 2021 I contributed with news stories about relevant research and teaching at the website of the NFR research project Vismedia where I was a researcher. This website abounds with video lectures from conferences, posts about publications, and also presentations of technology projects conducted by students.
Vox Publica
I write opinion pieces and critiques at my department's public debate forum Vox Publica. I am co-responsible for its technology blog, where I have also written a number of posts.
Explaining technology
Maybe the only topic that I consider myself an expert on in the proper sense is theories of technology, and their use value for explaining technology complexes relevant to modern media. I have engaged in a number of communication projects where this is the main focus.
Textbooks
I am currently preparing a textbook about technology theories for Universitetsforlaget. The working title of the book is "Teknologimennesket. En introduksjon til teorier om ny teknologi". It is supposed to be published in 2022.
I have contributed to a textbook about sound journalism for radio and podcasting, see Lyngvær, Jørgen Warvik, Linda Eide og Lars Nyre (2017) Lydjournalistikk. Ei innføring i radio og podkasting. Oslo: Samlaget.
Technology column
Along with my good colleague professor Bjørnar Tessem I write a regular column in Dag og Tid about technology. We are writing 5000 character explanations of things like self driving cars, augmented reality apps, email spam filters, and touch screens. How do they all work? The column started in 2021, and we submit texts on a biweekly basis.

Teaching philosophy
My teaching is solution-oriented. I am more concerned with the future than with the past, and I try to teach my students how to construct valuable media solutions for the future. Three technology complexes are at the center of my attention as a teacher as well as a researcher: support tools for journalism, immersive media and climate change communication.
The constructive, solution-oriented approach creates a certain tension with the normal way of doing things. While it is very important with analytical approaches to historical and ongoing social developments, it is also important to work with design, innovation and entrepreneurship. A serious reorientation is needed to make media departments at universities better able to teach these skills.
I am among the relatively few academics who get their fingers dirty with innovation and entrepreneurship. You have to be a diplomat, a salesman and a zealot, and you have to write a million emails. Many chose academia to avoid just such work.
However, it is just as intellectually demanding for students to design new solutions for media businesses as it is to read Pierre Bourdieu and apply his theories on social relations. The possibilities for dialogue, criticisms and conflict are just as vital too.
Innovation pedagogy
I have taught media studies and media design since 2008 when I was employed as an associate professor at the University of Bergen. My teaching has been increasingly characterized by an effort to explore technological innovation along with students. The approach is called innovation pedagogy.
This approach presumes that students have to tackle the permanent disruption going on in the media industry in order to get relevant jobs and contribute to society. Our proposition is that the best way to prepare, is by evaluating and making prototypes of new and emerging media solutions in collaboration with local and regional media companies.
Public communication
A range of texts introduce the innovation pedagogy approach and present results from our endeavors:
A news story about the DIKU grant for student active learning that I was a co-receiver of in 2020. "Innovation pedagogy for media education": https://www.uib.no/svf/139407/skal-utvikle-studentaktiv-læring.

Academic autonomy
Academia allows me to disregard short-term expectations of profit and use-value. As a professor at the University of Bergen in the democratic state of Norway I have the privilege of deciding the content of my research and innovation according to my own values, and also to explore and formulate those values over a long period of time with the methods and theories I see fit. I use this privilege for maximum effect in my exploration of new media technologies.
My research is not value free at all; it is guided by the norms of local democracy, the ideal of good communication, and technological sustainability. My main objective is to stimulate excellence in the development of local and regional media technologies in Norway. Collaboration with colleagues and students are the most valuable resources by which I can explore long term scenarios and radical solutions.
My research, teaching and innovation is based on media studies, but has the interdisciplinary goal of building a bridge between theoretical and practical activities. I collaborate with both theoretically oriented researchers and teachers in practical areas within journalism, TV production and other media forms. It is also a goal to build a bridge between thematic areas such as philosophy and media studies, business development and media studies and climate research and media studies.
Media design
Karl Marx said that the scientist cannot just interpret the world; he must change the world directly. Media researchers cannot just analyze the media, we must create new media. I want to know as much as possible about the connection between media technology, content production and human experience. Every prototype we make tell us a lot about what did not work, and a little bit about what's worth investing in. t
Three technology complexes are at the center of my attention as a media designer: support tools for journalism, immersive media and climate change communication. Please read:

Technology theory
I have researched technology's role in human life since the start of my PhD in 1997, and over these twenty years I have noticed that digital technology networks take over more and more aspects of communication. Artificial intelligence is a particularly interesting and dangerous phenomenon. It is important to study these technically initiated ordering forces. Please read:

Journalism research
No forms of communication are more important and controversial in democratic societies than journalism, and its technical foudations are changing uncontrollably. Local journalism is the most important institution for news. I study it qualitatively and hermeneutically, with a focus on the interaction between journalists, readers and developers. Please read:

Media criticism
Criticism in academic terms means to submit a text to a careful hermeneutical reading and evaluate its merits regarding truth, reason and relevance. Criticism also means to rebuke or berate. If reality is distorted, or important topics ignored, there must be rebuke. I am a strict critic of my own discipline media studies in Norway and Europe. Please read:

Innovation philosophy
My contribution to media research and innovation does not take place on behalf of any single media company or public institution or association. On principle, I refrain from public positions and roles, board memberships or other roles where I would protect and promote a vested interest.
My slogan is: "I would rather go to Halling Valley than Silicon Valley". It means that I am willing to struggle uphill with innovation projects that are conceived and constructed in local and regional settings. In Norway, we must build up our own technologies, competencies and companies from the grassroots and up. We cannot rely on advanced imported technology from Google, Facebook and Apple. I would rather stand insecurely on a small turf here at home, than to stand with my hat safely in my hand knocking on big company doors in America.
Three technology complexes are at the center of my attention as an innovator, researcher and teacher, namely: support tools for journalism, immersive media and climate change communication.
I apologize for the fact that the sections below are not completed yet.
TekLab: prototypes of new media
TekLab is a network for academic technology development for students and researchers.
I am the director of TekLab. In 2018-2019 TekLab was awarded status as a research network for "Technology and material environments" in SAMKUL (Norwegian Research Council).
Read a news story about 5.000.000 NOK being awarded for exploration of innovation pedagogy, at TekLab, 2020: https://teklab.uib.no/2020/10/22/fem-millionar-til-teknologiutvikling-blant-studentar/.

Immersive experience
A project at the University of Stavanger. Funded for 2021 - 2022.
Vismedia
"Vismedia - visual surveillance technologies and journalism" is a research project funded by SAMANSVAR (Norwegian Research Council), headed by professor Astrid Gynnild. Professor Frode Guribye and myself are co-directors of the project. Vismedia focuses on responsible uses of visual technologies in news media. Vismedia runs from 2015 to 2021.
INJECT
INJECT - Innovation Journalism – Enhanced Creativity Tools is a research and development project headed by professor Neil Maiden. It is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme from 2017-2018. It was a collaboration between the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece and Norway. I was the head of the Norwegian subproject, and we are still working on articles and other publications from the project. Read more about INJECT Norway here.
