A Sense of Place is the website of Nina Svane-Mikkelsen, currently working at the Ph.D. project "Affinity and Battlefield",
at Institute of Information Science and Media Studies, University of Bergen, Norway. On this website I post photos and videorecordings and texts of interest for my study on museum communication and new media/games and related themes.  You can also find descriptions of my earlier projects as a visual artist and photographer.

In addition to this I write here:
I also publish photos relevant to my work at:

Installations, games, physical and digital.
I just posted some pictures (January 9th. 2008) from the ongoing process of making a digital game prototype for web and museum installation (play the fish Mara (she's a Orange Roughy) in the deep sea). See the pictures and more information here: Mara game development / prototype phase 2a. I am looking forward to wrap up the development phase 2a during february and go on to the next phase of the project. By the way, in the actual game Mara is moving her body when swimming, not being stiff as in the slideshow to the left :-) and the white dots are moving. This is maritime snow that can be eaten in order to gain more energy to swim.
