What a blast! We went up to Stockholm by bus last Tuesday and arrived at around 5.30 pm. Everyone got off and checked out the Hyper Island Stockholm facilities, which were impressing! The following two days were spent getting our installations ready at the exhibition area, but not without having some time over to check out the city!
Then came exhibition day, which was really fun. I’m not sure how many people came or how many that played our game, but I can say it was a success! There were people everywhere, mingling and experiencing the different projects we’d created. I also stumbled upon Nico up in Stockholm (DM09STO), which was nice. As to which class performed the best? No idea. I was very impressed with many of the Stockholm class’ projects as well as my fellow class mates from Karlskrona so I can’t really decide. It was very interesting to see the different outcomes and styles of our creations even though they blossomed from the same types of technology.
I was in a discussion panel about the tech surrounding the project, which was a little bit odd since I’m not a tech guy per se. But there I was, sitting in a group with other Hypers discussing the programming bits and what it was like in front of a camera crew.
All in all this module has been a very frustrating, but incredibly rewarding, experience.
