Had a blast giving my first PechaKucha talk at the Aalto University/Helsinki Design Week joint event on 7th Sept 2022! Check out the speakers and event info.

I had the pleasure of visiting Kulttuuricocktail Live by Yle 1 on 4th May, 2022. The topic of the talk show (in Finnish) was spatial experience and I was interviewed by Paavo Häikiö and Iida Rauhalammi. The other interviewee was architect (SAFA) Sami Maukonen from Design Agency Amerikka.

I visited The New School for Social Research to talk in a symposium on aesthetics of the so-called third places. The event was organized by Zed Adams from the Philosophy Department and included talks also from Zed and Aaron Meskin from University of Georgia.

I will be hosting a workshop Technology and the City II (Panel no. 21) together with Michael Nagenborg and Taylor Stone at the Philosophy of Human-Technology Relations 2020 conference which starts tomorrow. This series f panels celebrates the upcoming publication of the edited volume Technology and the City: Towards a Philosophy of Urban Technologies (eds. M. Nagenborg, M. G. Woge, T. Stone & P. Vermaas, Dordrecht: Springer), in which I have a contribution "Aesthetic Perspectives on Urban Technologies: Conceptualizing and Evaluating the Technology-Driven Changes in the Urban Experience" together with Vesa Vihanninjoki.

August denotes the a start of yet another new academic year and for me it meant one big change in particular: I started my new job as an Aalto Research Fellow at the Transdisciplinary Arts Studies unit (TAS, prev. YoYo) at the Aalto University's School of Arts, Design and Architecture (Aalto ARTS). Looking forward to working with the great team led by Prof. Christopher Bratton and teaching aesthetics as well as continuing my work on environmental and urban aesthetics.
