Borrowed some magnifying glasses for the upcoming CREATURE event on Walking & Writing. Dog for scale.

We’re in a cute historic hotel in the countryside south of Sandnes.

Half-day of home office work after campus meetings in the morning, tweaking text and writing project summaries for a major grant proposal. All while listening to vinyl records such as this beauty - Low’s Things We Lost in the Fire. The weekend is almost here.

What could possibly go wrong?

Sent our field guide to historical rephotography to the printer two minutes before I had to leave work. Such fun to illustrate it with collage! But heckin' lot of work too. Still, really pleased with the result. Hope the print comes out well! #digifren #envhist #envhum

On 16 November, we are organizing a rephotography walk in Sørmarka to mark the approaching end of the #DigiFREN project and to launch a package of educational materials on historical rephotography. All are welcome! #envhist #envhum #photography

We’re ready for the first event of the #CREATURE research group - «Art vs. Science: dueling methodologies in the classroom». Charlotte Wrigley @wrigleyca.bsky.social and Allen Jones are running the show today. With Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein as an honorary member!

This is why you should use sunscreen, folks. The display copy of Silver Linings at the Stavanger Art Museum has a distinctly different color profile than the other copies.

So happy to see our «miljøfortellinger fra Japan» risograph publication in the Climate Emergency Reading Room at the Stavanger Art Museum. @melinabuns.bsky.social and Benjamin Hickethier did a fantastic job on this one.

Time for Finnish smoke sauna. I’m about to be very cold and very hot, back and forth, for a few hours. What a way to start a week of #energylives fieldwork!

Winter time is here. I’m one of the seemingly rare people who like the time change, both in the spring and in the fall.

Self portrait of the author on a Friday afternoon as a very exhausted man after several intense weeks. Months, actually.

TGIF with 150 new bird cards for Wingspan waiting for me in the mailbox. Just finished the most intense student assignment feedback period of my entire career. I failed almost all of them and had to give good instructions on how to improve the assignment to pass. In essence: read the instructions.

The mornings are getting darker and darker, but there’s still some good light before sunrise.

Trying out the new edition of Parks, one of our favorite games.

Listening to Susan Schuppli’s Ice Records, which @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social brought home from The Wellcome earlier this week. Very cool. Pun intended. susanschuppli.com/ICE-RECORDS-1

We had a fun couple of hours prototyping the field guide on historical rephotography that we’re making for the #digifren project, drawing on postdoc Malin’s high school training in arts and design and the Layers of Time collage workshop I attended with Yannick Lowery in Philly last October.

After eight months (!), the @greenhouseuis.net Library wall that was opened up for repairs has been closed again! Time to find space on the shelves for these new (mostly) #envhum #envhist publications.

Enormous moon rising over Ryfylke right now.

More-than-human hotels.

We took a really nice sensory walk around the Belval campus today, on a gorgeous fall day. Thanks to all who came! #shot2025 #energylives
October 11, 2025 at 12:46 PM
Second, a lunchtime session from 12:55-14:10, on «Sensory walking as history of technology method». See our posters by the registration desk, walk around campus on your own using our prompts (on handouts), and come to the session to discuss walking methodologies! #shot2025

Last day of #shot2025! I must admit that I’ve developed a slight case of campus envy while here in Belval.

That’s me. Talking about how Joy has influenced me as a historian. And how that this really led to our current #energylives project. I don’t think it’s wrong to think of the project as a tribute to Joy.

At the «The Extraordinary Meaning of Ordinary Life: Joy Parr's Pioneering Vision in the History of Technology» lunchtime session at #shot2025. Francesca Bray introducing us to Joy before Sedona Micale shows us the film on Joy that she edited and produced.
