A group of 10 people smile and pose around a sign with the letter 'N' that reads 'Nostagain' at the bottom.
A wrap of #nostagain 2026. We united 13 presenters & 11 artists to reflect on how their #history, #memory, and biographies operate as the 'FRAMES OF REFERENCE' they use to make sense of #nostalgia ๐

What does nostalgia look like? At a talk I gave today at Tampere Universityโs OASIS lab, #nostalgia was a collection of leaves marked by peopleโs definitions. ๐
They passed their leaves to others, and received a new set; if they agreedโ fold onceโ if they did not โ crumple โem up!

Oasis Lunch Talks are back! @srirachanikorn.bsky.social starts the semester with a great talk about nostalgia and video games, talking all things nostos and algos. Got a lot of great ideas from this that I now need to push aside so I can focus on the paper at hand ๐
