I grew up in the countryside on a small island in Denmark. Everyone knew each other in our village, all the kids played together, and looking back it felt like every day was sunny. In 2017 I graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Art and Design and immediately packed my bags and headed to Vancouver, Canada. Since then this has been home and I've carved out a wonderful career here as an illustrator, lettering artist, and all-around creative.

Anne Brandhøj with the interactive sculptures she created for Designmuseum Danmark, which are permanently installed in the museum's garden. Anne Brandhøj is a Danish artist and designer whose practice centers around sustainability. From sourcing and harvesting timber to drying, processing, and finishing each piece by hand, her distinct designs take form around the natural irregularities of each length of wood. Its grain, knots, splits, and coloration guide her decisions and remain as elements of the final work. Rather than imposing her creative ideas on the material, Brandhøj works with the chance variations offered by nature, allowing her to incorporate offcuts that might otherwise end up as waste. Their unique textures and patterning are highlighted, polished into delicate eddies and currents that reveal the innate beauty of the material, whether made from oakwood, walnut, Douglas fir, cherry, or beech. In addition to her playful functional objects, she creates large-scale sculptures whose undulating vertical forms reiterate abstract motifs as though materializing the movement of sound—its waves, ripples, and echoes. “I die a little bit inside every time I see furniture with a smooth surface where you cannot see any structure, any knot, anything at all,” says Brandhøj. “It's a shame when there is so much beauty in the wood to show.” Brandhøj received a bachelor's and master's degree in furniture design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. She is a founding partner of Bly Studio, and currently serves as a teaching assistant at The Royal Academy. Brandhøj has exhibited throughout Denmark and internationally. In 2022, she was commissioned by Designmuseum Danmark to create a permanent sculptural installation for the museum, in collaboration with the Kay Bojesen Foundation.

All organisms from fruit flies to humans share the same mechanism for controlling the day and night rhythms also called the circadian rhythms. This mechanism is considered fundamental to all advanced life forms, and it has a surprising feature. It binds us genetically to live on earth. Michael Rosbash received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2017 for the discovery of the circadian rhythms together with Jeffrey Hall and Michael Young. He is a professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Brandeis University. In 2019 he was invited by The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters to give the nineteenth Royal Academy Nobel Laureate Lecture in Copenhagen and was interviewed by science journalist Jens Degett.

Bjørn Friborg by Joe Kramm Bjørn Friborg is a Danish glass artist based in Denmark. Friborg challenges traditional methods of glass-making with a physically demanding approach that stretches the limits of both the material and technique. His technique is not a means to an end but a performance, as he fearlessly punches, penetrates, manipulates, and ruptures the molten substance to achieve otherworldly and sublimely beautiful results. Friborg's movements are a tour de force reflective of his mastery. Friborg starts each artwork by blowing a large object that is then penetrated with a mass of silver nitrate-based glass poured on top. The molten nitrate-based glass sculpts the shape, freezes, and becomes an artwork. This process is described as “A blast of energy… all that power that you channel into the material gives it the expression.” Says Friborg. “That's what it contains, and that's what I mean when I say that I'm just trying to find the maximum of honesty that it just has. I'm just trying to push myself to the limits. Everything is just really impulsive; all the mixes … are created at the moment. Creating something is coming closer to yourself, and getting to know yourself better. It's like an addiction, both in terms of doing and not being able to stop doing it.” Friborg began working in the glass industry in 1999 as as a high school drop-out. He then attended the technical school in Kosta for three years and got a job straight out of school at the Orrefors Glassworks where Kosta Boda produced all of their art glass. Friborg received a BFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture, Design and Conservation in 2013 after studying in Sweden at the Åfors Glasbruk, V.1 Mästare Ingvar Carlsson “Kalle Pack” and the Kosta Glass School. His work has been exhibited nationally in Denmark and the Scandinavian region and internationally.

In the Rebuilding Pavilion, curated by The Royal Danish Academy and funded by Realdania, the aim has been to physically test sustainable rebuilding. Rebuilding after a devastating war, a huge flooding or with the intention of changing a slum into a proper city. The reasons of rebuilding are many, strategies differ and local settings are crucial to understand, in order to make a real difference. Meet the receiver of the annual Royal Gold Medal 2023, architect Yasmeen Lari, who has dedicated her late career to combine architecture with a social message by creating houses for flood-victims. You will also hear the Syrian writer and architect Marwa Al-Sabouni on rebuilding-strategies after war and Indian architect Bhawna Jaimini reflects on how to change a slum from within.

Eines der bemerkenswerten Projekte in Hani Rashids Portfolio ist das Yas Marina and Hotel in Abu Dhabi, das 2011 fertiggestellt wurde. Ein weiteres Projekt ist das ARC Multimedia Museum in Daegu, Südkorea, das 2017 fertiggestellt wurde. Das Museum ist ein Beweis für das Interesse von Asymptote an der Schaffung immersiver und technologisch fortschrittlicher Räume. Auch der 2020 fertiggestellte Hauptsitz der ING Bank in Gent, Belgien, zeigt einen funktionalen und ästhetisch radikalen Ansatz für die Gestaltung von Unternehmensgebäuden. Hani Rashid hat sich nicht nur in der Praxis hervorgetan, sondern im wissenschaftlichen Kontext gearbeitet. Er hatte Lehraufträge an renommierten Institutionen wie der Royal Danish Academy, der Princeton University, der ETH Zürich, der Harvard Graduate School of Design und der Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation inne. Im Jahr 1998 war Rashid Mitbegründer des Advanced Digital Design Program an der Columbia University, mit dem er die Grenzen der architektonischen Ausbildung erweitert hat. Derzeit ist Hani Rashid Leiter des Studio 3, eines Designstudios an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien, Institut für Architektur. Rashids Beiträge zur Architekturgemeinschaft wurden durch verschiedene Auszeichnungen gewürdigt. Im Jahr 2000 vertrat er die Vereinigten Staaten auf der 7.

Hani Rashid wurde im TIME Magazine als Innovationsführer des 21. Jahrhunderts vorgestellt. Portrait-Photo (c) Nick Kova

In this dialogue, Prof Christo Doherty, the Chair of Research in the Wits School of Arts, speaks to Doris Bloom, a multidisciplinary South African artist who has been based in Denmark since 1976. She currently has a major exhibition called Bird Bone Whistler at the Origins Centre Museum in Johannesburg until 02 July 2023. Doris was born on a farm outside Vereeniging and her deep imaginative engagement with the African landscape has powerfully informed her work over the last 46 years. She began her career by studying ceramics at the Johannesburg College of Art and then a Masters in contemporary art at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art in Copenhagen. She is best known as a painter and printmaker as well as a performance artist, often performing in front of her finished works or, as she did at the opening of her Origins Centre exhibition, creating an artwork in front of her audience. Doris has received numerous awards and public commissions and has exhibited internationally. In this discussion we talk about the path she followed to become an artist, and explore her movement into performance in 2003 and the way that she has mapped a visceral discourse of body, language and memory. We also examine the ways in which her work engages with the sciences of palaeontology and archeology and the significance of visual technologies such as VR for her practice as an artist working in collaborative performance. The online catalogue for Bird Bone Whistler is available at https://www.birdbonewhistler.com/ Catalogue - Bird Bone Whistler · Information about the Origins Centre Exhibition of Bird Bone Whistler

'The body is one of the greatest tools that we have to sing or play better' * Deze aflevering is Engelstalig Tina Margareta Nilssen is the founder of the Musicians' Health and Movement Institute , the author of 'Unleasihing the potential of the musician's body' and the creator of the movement system Timani, which develops a deep understanding of the body to support musical technique and performance. She runs a 3-year part-time certification program for professional musicians, to become certified Timani teachers. Tina's background in anatomy and movement comes from her studies as a massage therapist, personal trainer, kinetic control movement therapist, twice a certified yoga teacher and kinesthetics for pianists. She has taught workshops in places like Juilliard in New York, Colburn in Los Angeles, Royal college of music in London and the Royal Danish Academy of Music. As a pianist, she holds a MA form the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo and has released four critically acclaimed CD's. In this episode we talk about: - Tina's musical background - The origin of the movement system Timani - That you can develop as a musician at any age if you know what to change in the body, it's a myth that bodies only get more stagnant when getting older - How Tina found out about anatomy when studying in Berlin for her master's degree and the impact that it made for her - That when she started using muscles consciously it didn't only make the music better but also made her feel more safe - That nerves can be related to how we use our body, so by using our body differently we can diminish nerves (maybe not completely, but still a lot) - What it means to change the coördination in the body; to start using the muscles that are meant to be used over time or for repetitive movements so that the compensatory muscles that tend to tense up too much or create unwanted tension can start releasing - Tension in the throat when singing high notes is a compensatory pattern: the tension in the throat can either be a compensation for a lack of tension somewhere else in the body, or be a sign of a reversed breathing pattern - How it's possible that in one place you learn to move out your belly when breathing in and in another place you learn to expand around the ribcage - An important (and funny) discovery that Tina did when she was taking a yoga class - That belly breathing is important for relaxation and that it can bring the downregulation of the nervous system that we need, but we should use this when relaxing and not when we're singing - How it's possible that by doing exercises for the feet, our singing can improve so much - What you can do when you're going up on stage to sing or speak in public, and you feel that the breathing gets high and tensed up - That when a muscle is tense, it tends to not activate in the most efficiënt way - That if we increase proprioception (the awareness of our body in space and time) it makes it easier for the brain to tell the body what to do more efficiëntly - When we try to maintain a good posture while the muscles on the inside are pulling us down, or the diaphragm is pushing down, we are going to fight ourselves - Why 'hanging forward in the hips' will make it difficult to feel the breathing all the way down to our feet - What a Timani lesson looks like - How emotions and feeling the music, expressing it, is related to Timani - That the goal of Timani is always to make it easier to express music - The importance of knowing where the lungs are And more!

Reciprocal framing creates a grid-like patterned structure, relying on a system for load transfer instead of single element-to-element load transfer. While visually pleasing, the analysis of this type of system can be somewhat complex. However, with the advancement of parametric design tools coupled with the sustainability benefits of this type of system, it becomes easier to design and is a good fit for material reuse. Dr. Olga Popovic Larsen, MSc, Architect MAA is a structural engineer, architect and Professor of Structures in Architecture at The Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, Denmark and expert and published author in Reciprocal Frame Architecture. Jens Hübertz Larsen, MSc, MIStructE is a Senior Project Manager at COWI Consulting Engineers in Copenhagen, Denmark and is well versed in the structural design and construction implementation of Reciprocal Frame Structures.In this episode, we discuss the Waste Wood Canopy. Through research and full-scale testing, the design team was able to use reclaimed wood pieces and develop customized and repetitive connections that ultimately proved instrumental to the success of this project.If you enjoy this show and want more content like this, visit gablmedia.comMentioned in this episode:Gabl Membership

What is the oral tradition of Chinese storytelling about and what is the connection to the great Chinese novels? How to translate a Chinese classic such as the famed and defamed “Jin Ping Mei”? And how to handle the dilemma of steering one's boat between enormous amounts of scholarship on the novel without drowning, and keeping up the tempo of translation day after day? NIAS senior researcher Vibeke Børdahl joined NIAS Press Student Assistant, Julia Heinle, to discuss her upcoming publications “Jin Ping Mei i vers og prosa”, I-X (Vandkunsten, 2011-2022) and “Jin Ping Mei – A Wild Horse in Chinese Literature” (ed. by Vibeke Børdahl and Lintao Qi) (NIAS Press 2022). Dr. Vibeke Børdahl is a senior researcher at NIAS and is generally recognized as one of the most accomplished scholars in the study of Chinese oral literature. As well as doing much research on the interplay of oral and written traditions in Chinese popular literature and performance culture, over the past decade she has translated the full work of Jin Ping Mei into Danish. The publication is celebrated with a symposium 26-28 October supported by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, the Carlsberg Academy and NIAS. Find the NIAS Press book here. Translation editions by Vandkunsten are here.

NIAS senior researcher Vibeke Børdahl joined NIAS Press Student Assistant, Julia Heinle, to discuss her upcoming publications “Jin Ping Mei i vers og prosa”, I-X (Vandkunsten, 2011-2022) and “Jin Ping Mei – A Wild Horse in Chinese Literature” (ed. by Vibeke Børdahl and Lintao Qi) (NIAS Press 2022). Dr. Vibeke Børdahl is a senior researcher at NIAS and is generally recognized as one of the most accomplished scholars in the study of Chinese oral literature. As well as doing much research on the interplay of oral and written traditions in Chinese popular literature and performance culture, over the past decade she has translated the full work of Jin Ping Mei into Danish. The publication is celebrated with a symposium 26-28 October supported by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, the Carlsberg Academy and NIAS. Find the NIAS Press book here. Translation editions by Vandkunsten are here.

Dr. Olaf Andersen is a Professor of Physiology and Biophysics at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and Director of the Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program in New York City. His research aims to understand all of the mechanisms by which small molecules can manipulate the functions of cells or whole organisms. How do these molecules work and what are they doing? These questions are particularly relevant for pharmacology and toxicity. When he's not doing science, Olaf keeps busy reading and brewing beer. His ambition as a brewer is to make a beer with a deep beer flavor but really low alcohol percentage. Olaf keeps a brewing diary that holds 20 years worth of notes on each batch he has ever brewed. He was awarded his MD from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Copenhagen and Rockefeller University before joining the faculty at Cornell University. Olaf has received many awards and honors including being named a Foreign Member of The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, receipt of the K. S. Cole Medal from the Biophysical Society, being named an Honorary Fellow of the Cornell University Weill Medical College Alumni Association, receipt Distinguished Service Award from the Biophysical Society, and receipt the Inaugural Bruce Ballard Mentoring Award. In this interview, Olaf shares more about his life and science. 

Sheila Jasanoff, the Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, is a pioneer in the field of STS. That acronym can be unpacked as either ‘science and technology studies' or ‘science, technology and society.' Jasanoff -- who describes herself as a sociologist of knowledge and a constructivist, trained in law, working in the tradition of the interpretive social sciences – is content with either use. “I think that represents two phases of the same field,” she tells interviewer David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast. “First of all, it's the field that looks in detail at the institutions of science and technology and asks, ‘What are they like?' ‘What does it feel like to be doing them?' ‘What do they operate like as social institutions, as cultures, as formations in society?' The other face of STS – science, technology and society – is more about how science and technology function when they get out into the world at large.” Amid that expansive view, some areas, of course, particularly interest Jasanoff. “The more interesting turn,” she details, “was the turn that tried to occupy the territory previously given to philosophy of science, and started asking sociological and political questions about it.” One such question is the eternal “What is truth?” STS, a brash newcomer, took on the inquiry with gusto. “It took a kind of arrogance, if you will, certainly a bravery, in the 1970s, to say that, ‘Hey, truth isn't just out there. It's not just a Platonic thing and we try to approximate it. We can actually study truth as if it was a social production.' That,” she explains, “was the heartland of science and technology studies.” In the interview, Jasanoff outlines how science is often presented as a capital-T repository of Truth even in an age where the ‘death of the expert' has become a common trope. Citing the pandemic and how scientific advice changed on mask wearing, Jasanoff argues that “people should not be surprised that in crisis mode the way we know things changes and therefore the advice may change. Science has been sold as a bill of goods for so long that it is the Truth, it is reliable, a fact is always fact the moment we assert it, that these sorts of commonsensical things that we ought to understand have become difficult for people to grasp.” (Jasanoff's own research often looks at cross-national differences in her research, and after looking at mask-wearing in 16 nations she reports that “only in America has it become an article of faith – are you for science or against science” – based on your mask usage.) Remember, she continues, “The expert is not an embodiment of scientific fact. An expert is a particular kind of person who is qualified in particular ways, and every time we say ‘qualification,' something about the English language or about language in general, forces us to look at the skills that allow one to be considered qualified. “In fact, we should look at the external periphery of the qualification; a qualification sets boundaries on what you know, but it also sets boundaries on what you don't know.” Expertise is this double edged-thing.” Jasanoff is the founder and director of Harvard's Program on Science, Technology and Society. She's the author of several books aimed at both the academy and the public, such as 1990's The Fifth Branch: Science Advisers as Policymakers, 2012's Science and Public Reason, and Can Science Make Sense of Life? in 2019. The University of Bergen, acting for the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, awarded her the Holberg Prize in March. That was the latest in a slew of honors for her research, including the University of Ghent Sarton Chair and the Reimar Lüst Award from the Alexander von Humboldt and Fritz Thyssen Foundations, a Guggenheim fellowship in 2010, and in 2018 the Albert O. Hirschman Prize from the Social Science Research Council. She is an elected foreign member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, where she served on the board of directors.

Anders Lonka, one of the three founder partners of ADEPT, a young Copenhagen-based firm with office also in Hamburg, is the guest of this new appointment. After a rich, extensive work experience at MVRDV, Diller Scofidio+ Renfro, New York and Cebra, he taught for several years at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture and from 2006 he dedicates himself, with his young multidisciplinary team, to an architecture focused on developing a real interaction with the city, as a large community, synthesised in the concept ‘place over building'. Our conversation starts sharing his professional beginnings and considering the difficulties that young architects have to face, deciding to run an own practice and we continue by deepening the concept of an architecture as open process rather than a defined typology, which is fundamental in their design approach. The new Aarhus School of Architecture, a flexible and innovative ambience conceived to become an active, experimental incubator for architectural exploration, with the ambition to evolve due to the mutual influence of the surrounding urban environment, the street and the people, is another topic of interest followed by Braunstein Tap-house, a distinctive proposal that, above is extremely attractive formal expression, embodies an important story, born according to the possibility of a limited lifespan. Sustainability, a ‘must' in every intervention of the practice, is analysed in relation to innovative solutions they have adopted, including the upcycle of leftover construction materials extended from Aarhus School building to the external hardscape. The polycentric human-scaled vision for a typology of new sustainable urbanism related to 80 ha urban development in Cologne, Germany, suggested by their new winning proposal, WoodHood, expands their concept of sustainability. Stadtmuseum, an intervention just started, concerning the transformation of a protected building in central Berlin, left for more than 20 years neglected, and the strategy internally adopted of ‘a box in the box' conclude our talk.

Hans Petersen grew up in Copenhagen, Denmark where he studied architechure at the Royal Danish Academy or Art. Upon graduation he began working at a graphic design studio in Copenhagen and then followed a love interest to New York. Once in NY, Hans found work at a printing company and that is where he first learned about color. Eventually, he started his own graphics design firm in Manhattan and worked in it for 10 years.  He followed his wife to Charoltte, NC and started over. After many "cold" reach outs, Hans secured the International Home Furnishing Center as a client and produced material for them for 15 years. Then in 2005, they became part of a bigger organization and Hans was out of work. What was next? His wife suggested he paint, something he loved doing as a child. In this episode he explains how he learned about the art business and has grown into a professional artist.  Episode Takeaways: 1. Being a professional artist takes committment to paint every day. 2. The inspiration comes, but it is not initially what gets him painting. 3. They learned while doing tent shows, researching galleries and talking to gallery owners. 4. When you are trying to determine "what's next" think back to your childhood. What did you love doing then? Thanks so much for listening.

The 28th episode was also recorded at Copenhagen Fashion Week, where I met the young designer and activist Milan Flíček, whose provocative collection of men's wear, entitled “F*CKING STOP BURNING CLOTHES” stood out for its bold activism, as well as the aesthetic innovation of a deconstructed tailored suit with piping that makes it look like it is both on fire and melting at the seams. The most innovative runway shows at any fashion week in any city are always the graduation collections organized by the local fashion schools. This year, the Royal Danish Academy showed some of the most inspiring and avant-garde collections, entitled “Last Pieces” created by sixteen talented graduates of the MA Fashion Class whose work focused on diversity, inclusivity, and sustainability. Each designer focused on the challenges facing the fashion industry. Many of them used leftover (surplus) or second-hand materials, while others have strong political agendas incorporated into their design aesthetic. Milan and I met after his fashion show that was also singled out by Vogue Scandinavia, which launched its first issue at Copenhagen Fashion Week, with Greta Thunberg on the cover. We talked about his collection, his innovative tailoring techniques, his research into the burning of clothing, his activism and plans to petition the EU to tighten its legislation on fashion and textiles production and consumption, and his future plans for his brand.

They, the designers and the makers.  Normal Object Factory is their company, founded in 2017 in Stockholm, after they graduated in the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.  Ever since they constantly ask the questions: Why we are doing design? What is the meaning behind the normal?  They constantly reflect what they are doing.  Liu Chien-Kuang a taiwanese glass maker and designer and Alexandra Nilasdotter a swedish ceramist and designer, as a couple, as the entrepreneur.  They have free hand to put the idea into the reality.  They find the solution to make our life easier and better.  They have the sense of the responsibility in the world where has too much stuffs, too much pollution, too much waste.  Their project is the content of story.  Their object is the tool of story telling.  They want to relay the feeling and the issue to the people and to raise the awareness through their objects.  Normal Object Factory's website:  http://www.normalobjectfactory.com/

Fat cells are specialised to store large amounts of fat that act as metabolic energy depots. However, fat cells carry out many other vital functions such as appetite regulation. Fat cells can talk to each other, the brain and the other organs. In this episode, Professor Susanne Mandrup talks about fat cells, as well as the epigenetics and DNA associated with fat cells and metabolic disease. Ph.D. Susanne Mandrup is Professor at Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at SDU where she serves as Director of the Center of Excellence in Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity (ATLAS) and Center for Adipocyte Signaling (ADIPOSIGN), as well as Head of the Functional Genomics & Metabolism Research Unit.

Australia does a lot of great science, but has a poor record of translating that science into benefits for society. At least, that's what the education minister has been telling us. This week we talk to an eminent Australian scientist to hear about a home-grown translational medicine success story -- and to find out what barriers still stand between basic research and commercial applications. This week we talk to Prof Bob Graham of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, a specialist in molecular cardiology and cardiac regeneration. He and his team have discovered a way to convert the venom of the Australian funnel-web spider into a drug that can reduce brain damage after strokes and improve heart recovery after heart attacks. An amino acid peptide derived from this venom may one day be injected into stroke and heart attack victims in the ambulance before they even reach the hospital. How important is basic science for medical research? Why does basic science have to be done here, in Australia? Why can't we just rely on science done overseas for applications in Australia? What's the difference between commercialisation and translational medicine? Our regular host Salvatore Babones will be asking Prof Graham these questions and more as we hear the story of an incredible medical discovery and learn why basic science in the public interest. Bob Graham is the Des Renford Professor of Medicine at UNSW and was the inaugural director of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. He spent a substantial portion of his career in the United States, where he rose to become the Robert C. Tarazi Chairman of the Department of Molecular Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and a Foreign Member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters.

This second episode talks about harnessing the fungal mycelium for the purpose of growing architecture under the EU-funded FUNGAR project with Professor Phil Ayres – architect, researcher and associate professor at the School of Architecture of the Royal Danish Academy.As a principle investigator, Phil's research in the context of two EU-funded Future and Emerging Technology (FET) projects focuses on the symbiotic relationships between robots and natural plants, and the development of fungal architectures - the topic of this podcast episode. Phil Ayres joined the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen in 2009 after a decade of teaching and research at the Bartlett, UCL in the United Kingdom. His research primarily focuses on the design and production of novel bio-hybrid architectural systems and the development of complementary design environments. Phil teaches at Masters and PhD level and is also the editor of the book ‘Persistent Modelling - Extending the Role of Architectural Representation'.Find out more:Link to project on CORDIS Link to EU-funded project website: Fungal Architectures (FUNGAR) For more EU-funded research and innovation success stories Hosted on Acast.

The 23rd episode was recorded remotely with two of my colleagues, Brooks Kaiser, who is a professor of Environmental and Resource Economics in the Department of Sociology, Environmental and Business Economics at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and Else Skjold, who is an Associate Professor in Design and Sustainability at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, and whom listeners will recognize from several previous episodes in season one. Else has worked on multiple projects trying to make the Danish fur industry more sustainable. Brooks organized and invited me to a webinar panel to discuss the Danish mink farming industry after the Danish government’s orders to put down all minks in November 2020 because the corona virus had started mutating. This resulted in gradual extermination of mink animals throughout 2020 and a mass extermination by November 2020 across different farms in northern Denmark, and generated a big scandal, forcing the Minister of Agriculture to resign, and the Prime Minister to apologize to the mink farmers for depriving them of their livelihoods and promising compensation. This was also a significant set-back in how well Denmark was handling the pandemic up until that point – the threat of the mutation forced other countries to temporarily close their borders to Danish transports. But the quick response and the imposed lockdown in northern Denmark did prevent a new mutation, and in the end, it was the UK mutation that kept the infection numbers higher than usual in Denmark for most of the winter months. While the media discourse was dominated by debates about compensation and the economy of mink farming, there were relatively few conversations about animal welfare and the unethical practice of killing animals for fashion. Some environmentalists were concerned with the way the extermination took place and wondered why there was no strict safety protocol, or why not more experts were consulted with experience from previous contaminations and farm infections. The question of banning fur farming completely only raises more economic question of passing on profit opportunities and leaving this industry up to countries with even fewer regulations. By now the Danish government has issued compensations to the farmers who lost their incomes, and industry experts believe that it is not likely that any of them will start up mink farming again. But the experts also predict that the price for mink fur will double in the next ten years, so it means that if more EU countries ban fur farming, the production will move to unregulated countries like China, Russia, and Eastern Europe. According to PETA’s website the list of countries that have already banned fur farming includes: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovakia, the UK, Norway, and Japan. Denmark has a long tradition of farming and producing high-quality mink fur for exports to China. While there are very few people in Denmark who still actually wear fur, Copenhagen Fur is a powerful organization, and the country may not yet be ready to fully transition to a post-fur society.

Many fermented foods and beverages seem gross. What exactly is this feeling of disgust? Where does it come from? Is it the fear of something unfamiliar? Something that goes beyond our globally standardized ways of being, behaving, and feeling?Join us in a conversation with Adrien Rigobello, a Ph.D. researcher working with Fungal Architectures at the Royal Danish Academy and founder of thr34d5, a medialab for social resilience. In this episode, we not only talk about what's gross, but also about xenodesign, engaging with the other, designing with living systems, and using kombucha and mushrooms as raw materials.

In this interview, we talk to Jesper Juul, a scholar of video games and a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He's written books such as A Casual Revolution: Reinventing Video Games and their Players, which looks at how mobile games have changed where, when, how, and even why we game, and The Art of Failure: An Essay on the Pain of Playing Video Games, which grapples with the pain involved in game overs and other ways of losing at games. He's also a game designer and developer who's experimented with casual games, conceptual games, and multiplayer games. We brought Jesper on to discuss his most recent book, Handmade Pixels: Independent Video Games and the Quest for Authenticity, a book that tells a history of indie games running from 1998 to the present. We cover a lot of ground in our conversation, talking about topics including how to define an indie game, what happens when platforms for indie games (like Flash) disappear, and whether or not the question, “is it really a game?” is a productive one.

In today's episode, Tara chats with Anne-Sofie Søby Jensen—a Danish singer. They speak about how Anne-Sofie's musical trek took her from Denmark to the UK and the journey of really learning to own and love who she is as a singer. Her story may inspire any singer who struggles with comparison and trying to find their own niche in singing.   Anne-Sofie grew up in a small village in Denmark in a family where piano music was often hear. Her parents were both pianist and she took piano lessons first from her grandmother. It set the stage for her music. Anne-Sofie also took part in some drama and theater in her teen years. During that time, the had a teacher who encouraged her to study classical music, thinking that her voice was be a perfect fit. This teacher (whom she had at 14) was super supportive of Anne-Sofie's singing and helped her learn the art of becoming an expressive singer. When she met other teens in the classical world of music, her comment was: “I didn't know that you could be a cool teenager having a normal teenage life and still sing classical.”   In her pre Academy days, she gained a love for oratorio through a workshop put on by an organist and choral conductor. It made her delve into Baroque music more and learn to love it. She did end up going to the Royal Danish Academy of Music and after some time there, felt stuck. But another teacher—a guest professor—helped her understand her voice better and encouraged her to pursue new things. This was Professor Susan McCulloch from the UK. So, Anne-Sofie took the leap and moved to the UK in 2017.  Some of the hardships she struggled with as a singer was simply comparing herself to other singers.  Once she acknowledged that her voice was not a lyric mezzo but more of a lower mezzo/contralto, she found more joy. “Finally realizing and honoring that has given me a freedom to sing the repertoire that I feel fits me. And not to feel that I have to press myself into a box that I don't have to fit in.” In her freedom, she could do this: “I decide what I want to do. I don't have to do an audition…” She also has been influenced by the book “The Artist's Way” by Julia Cameron. On singing and performing, she loves this: “It's the way that we can move other people.”  She also has found so much life in allowing herself to “play”.  “Letting go of everything and getting back that joy and of singing through ‘messing around'. “ Her final advice to singers is this: “Stop comparing yourself to others. Own who you are.” You can find Anne-Sofie at these places to follow: Instagram: @annesofiesoeby TikTok: @annesofiesoeby Facebook: www.facebook.com/ansomezzo Website: www.annesofiejensen.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs8hMAMe7TbLNQSwBXrJOqg    Remember also friends, that **THE SINGING STRAW** is now available for you right here: http://lddy.no/f7zu  You can get 10% off with my code: tarab   For more info about this episode and to hear other episodes, go to: www.theengagingvoice.com    You can find this and other episodes at Stitcher, Google Play, Spotify, iHeart radio, and Apple Podcasts.

All organisms from fruit flies to humans share the same mechanism for controlling the day and night rhythms also called the circadian rhythms. This mechanism is considered fundamental to all advanced life forms, and it has a surprising feature. It binds us genetically to live on earth. Michael Rosbash received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2017 for the discovery of the circadian rhythms together with Jeffrey Hall and Michael Young. He is a professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Brandeis University. In 2019 he was invited by The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters to give the nineteenth Royal Academy Nobel Laureate Lecture in Copenhagen and was interviewed by science journalist Jens Degett.

Today on Midday, a break from the news of the day, and focus on that which is great and good about the human condition. It’s Midday on Music. A little later, we’ll be treated to some tunes by the guitar/harp duo, Robin Bullock and Sue Richards. Their performance is posted separately here on the WYPR Website).We begin today with Hanzhi Wang. This virtuoso concert accordionist was born 29 years ago in China. She lives and teaches now in Copenhagen, Denmark, and she’s playing a concert in Columbia, Maryland Saturday night. She is the first accordionist to win the prestigious Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York. Ms. Wang is not your grandfather’s polka-playing accordionist, nor is she the organ-grinder busker in Little Italy with the dancing monkey. As you will hear, she is a virtuoso on an instrument that is not usually associated with art music. We are streaming our conversations today on the WYPR Facebook Page, so you can see that the instrument she is playing -- the button accordion -- doesn’t even look like most accordions you’ve seen before. During her live performance on Midday, Hanzhi Wang plays three pieces, in this order:“My Story” by Hanzhi Wang; “Etincelles” by Moritz Moszkowski; and “La Muerte del Angel” by Astor Piazzolla. Hanzhi Wang performs Saturday night (October 5) at a concert at the Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Center at Howard Community College in Columbia. It’s part of the Candlelight Concert Society series. She'll play music of Bach, Rameau, Scarlatti, Grieg and Schnittke. The concert starts at 7:30. Wang's latest CD is called On the Path to H.C. Anderson on the Naxos label. It includes music by contemporary Danish composers. Hanzhi Wang is on the faculty of the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. She posts on Instagram.

Review: Elmgreen & Dragset curate a brilliant Vilhelm Hammershøi exhibition @ Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) that not only displays the best examples of the painter’s work but raise eternal questions about life in the home for contemporary international artists.

Percussionist Cameron Leach and I have a great show for you today!  In addition to some great practice tips, Cameron elaborates on some very important topics, including how to clearly communicate to our audience through intentional and empathetic performing, why students must take ownership of their own learning experience, and why musicians need to be great friends to each other! I love Cameron's perspective on those topics, and I hope you enjoy our discussion! Cameron elaborates on: His journey to a solo career – starting in drumcor, doing a music education degree, and transitioning to performance after a chance encounter How he organizes his practice – having to handle so many instruments Why he likes to practice hungry What it is like to have to learn a wide variety of percussion instruments Ho he transfers the sound concepts from one instrument to the next Different practice modes in practice: Learning mode “Emoting” mode Why he thinks it's important to consider how you are sending your musical message and how it is received by your listeners Clear emotional communication How documenting his practice on video helped him release stress and was a creative outlet Why it's important to keep the sound of the hall in mind when we practice How recording ourselves helps us narrow our focus on specific elements in our practice His 3 key words – inquisitive, intentional, empathetic How students must take ownership of their learning experience (SCHOOLS CAN'T TECH YOU EVERYTHING!) during their degree and remain inquisitive AFTER they've graduated (Pssst! We're all lifelong learners!!!!)     More about Cameron: Website: www.cleachmusic.com YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVIL-V9LiebwHS_XbuRbTsw Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/cleachmusic/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleachmusic/   Beyond Talent: Creating a Successful Career in Music by Angela Myles Beeching The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield   BIOGRAPHY American percussionist Cameron Leach is a bold, high-energy performer acclaimed for his expressive virtuosity, musical athleticism, and daring interpretations.

Catherine grew up with a pencil in her hand. The born visual designer. She studied Industrial Design in Paris and at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts through Erasmus. She then came back to Copenhagen to learn Glass design and blowing techniques. Through a student job at a strategy consulting company, her eyes opened to User Research and as a graduate, the transition into, what we today call UX, came naturally. Today she works at GenieBelt and deals with the realities of time constraints and of agile methodologies, how to work with and manage others and make the best of it in a company with high ambitions. She sees herself not just working with pieces but with the entire journey. For the future, she strives to improve her management skills, because although we understand our users, design management is quite a different cup of tea.

This is Player Characters, and if you're a fan of video games and you want to get a job that has something to do with games, this show is for you. Maybe you're thinking about becoming a youtuber, a streamer, a producer, a journalist or a creative like Regina. I want to help you do that. Highlights from this episode: Educated in design for movies - Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Earning pocket money by doing paint brush for his father To advance in your job, look at areas in the product that are overlooked and take ownership of those. Point out how things could be better, and work on it. Present your ideas, but also respect the no. As a lead how can you make sure that the team feels that they can present their ideas to you, while at the same time turning down most of those ideas. When you turn down ideas, explain why it doesn't work. Make sure to show enthusiasm for the ideas that you do pick. When you're the lead, it's important to let people fail and make mistakes. If we always do the same, and do the same. We will never evolve and be better. You have to make room for creative content that maybe won't sell as well. Think about the user, always. Look at feedback on social media, YouTube etc. If you want a job, start doing it even though you have it yet. So if you want to work in games and can't get a job, start making games. Go to game jams. Don't let other people stop you. Consider taking a shitty job if it's in a field that you have strong desire to work in. Being in the right environment can lead to a better job. And don't hold yourself back. Don't tell yourself: "I can't do that because I'm not hired to do it". Don't wait for the perfect job to show up.

This episode includes another pair of 2018 graduates from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art. Emilia Bergmark discusses her piece "Heaven and Earth"  (2018) with host Brandon Schell. Her final thesis was an installation piece that included a anamorphic Alessi 1991 tea kettle who is a starving artist working at a space station as a server. The second guest is Albin Werle. Albin's works focus on classic game design, however, he focuses on the community and interaction of the players rather than the traditional binary concepts of winning and losing. His online game titled, "Passing"  (2016), can be found on his website through the link. Him and Brandon also discussed his masters thesis, which was a group of board games titled, "Ten Spells for Humanity or a Poison Dart for the Ruling Class" (2018). During its exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen, visitors were invited to play the games and Albin was there to give them instruction.
