Mauri Kaipainen works as professor of new media at Tallinn University and as an associate researcher at the Center of Knowledge and Innovation Research, Helsinki School of Economics. He studied education, musicology and cognitive science at the University of Helsinki and earned his PhD 1994 from the same university. His approach to interactive media is based on the view to cognition as explorative activity of the embodied mind in its material, social and informational environment, building on the findings of cognitive psychology and systems sciences. He uses low-level metadata, or soft ontologies, and nature-like computational models as his core methodologies. See more in URL: http://www.tlu.ee/~mkaipain/
