current projects and ventures

I currently live and work as an independent and self-employed bootstrapper within media, arts, web, open culture and technology.

Right now I spend time (1) co-administering Platform4, an art- and technology venue in Aalborg that also houses a 1000 sq. meter co-working space, Rooftop and maker space FormuLab. Furthermore, I (2) run maverick electronic music and video recording label Uhrlaut Records, and (3) hold the position as Public Project Lead for Creative Commons Denmark, where I hold lectures, workshops and talks, speak to the press and administer the Danish CC-chapter in general.

Furthermore, I (4) run the project management outfit Spraengfarlig and (5) work for Aalborg University as Project Supervisor and Examination Censor.

Additionally, I (6) function as chairman of music label association Labelkollektiv, and (7) do some freelance writing, ao. on my contemplative blog Freeform101 as well as (8) work on two book projects (one on business in free culture and another one on on diy ethics as driving force).
Last, but not least, I (9) dj a little on various occasions under the monikers Vilde V, Christian Villum & DJ Ond Blomst. As a dj, I am affiliated to the now defunkt (but on occasion revived) Aabtek dj-collective, member of Urlaut dj-team and part of Aalborg Tærror Crew.

I hold a master degree (MA) in Culture, Communication & Globalization and a BA in International Business Communication from Aalborg University. Currently, I am based in Aalborg Denmark, and have previously lived, worked and studied in Berlin, New York and Chicago.
