Doing a skype workshop on Presence Design with 50 students of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. In this workshop Charlie Gullstrom was my 'social interface', which permitted me to have "embodied mediated presence" and direct this workshop remotely.

“ My research interest is focused on the design of presence and the design of trust in social interactions between people, in organizations and in larger social and political structures. I use methodologies from the social sciences as well as from the design discipline. Having a profound theoretical interest I find it a challenge to bridge knowledge, insight and skills between different domains. When 'making things happen' in a design process I am convinced this only works when the people involved contribute. ”
