In the Norwegian system an academic has four main obligations: research, communication, teaching, and innovation. The menus presenting my academic career are organized according to these four categories. You can read about each by clicking on the menus above.
This section introduces my general approach to the four obligations and presents an overview of my career.
Researcher 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. You will find a more comprehensive presentation in the Norwegian section.
Future Fest
I will be in charge of a big event in Media City Bergen On August 17th 2023. We will invite the attendees at the NordMedia Researcher Conference to what we call Future Fest. Here we present a total of 13 prototypes of new media designs that aim to counteract the future shock Norwegian academia seems to suffer from. The event is organized by the student staff at TekLab in collaboration with Media Futures and Media City Bergen.
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.
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.
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.
Please consult the Norwegian language section on “Formidling” to read more about my activities in this field.
In the Norwegian system an academic has four main obligations: research, teaching, communication, and innovation. This section presents my teaching activities.
Teaching autonomy
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. Please read this short article about innovation pedagogy at the UiB Website.
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.
Please consult the Norwegian language section on “Undervisning” to read more about my activities in this field.
In the Norwegian system an academic has four main obligations: research, teaching, communication and innovation. All of these activities are supposed to lead to publication, and here I present an overview of my publication history.
Publication autonomy
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: synthetic media studies
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.
I want to facilitate the exploration of responsible design and innovation projects related to new media technology, and I consider that I’m conducting a special type of media studies called synthetic.
Most media studies are based on approaches from the humanities and social sciences and are fundamentally analytic. Analysis is critical. It assesses weaknesses, contradictions, and bad effects on people’s lives. Analysis consists of taking apart what has already been put together to look critically at its components. It is a past-oriented research practice, where the researcher uses methods that can help gather information about cultural and social practices to analyze their qualities. This makes the humanities and social sciences bad at orienting to the future.
My claim has long been that analysis is not enough! There must be synthetic media studies. Synthesis consists of putting together components into a new whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Synthesis is constructive by trying to solve the problems that are currently being pointed out by analysts.
There must be well-informed studies that lead to proposals for new solutions to solve the problems pointed out. Media scholars are typically not willing to go down this road.

More information in national current research information system (CRIStin)
In the Norwegian system an academic has four main obligations: research, teaching, communication, and innovation.
Innovation is a relatively new addition, and not acknowledged in the same way as the three others. This section presents ongoing and completed innovation projects that I am part of.
Innovation autonomy
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.
Please consult the Norwegian language section on “Innovasjon” to read more about my activities in this field.
