My new project portfolio is at halvorbodin.com running on the Cargo platform and network. This is now my main site and deconstructure.com will continue to be my personal blog and evolve into something more over time. My archive of graphic design and art projects will be presented at halvorbodin.com and updated frequently.

Cargo is a web publishing (CMS) and community-building platform currently in development. It powers communities in creative fields including Education, Design, Research, and Conceptual Art. For examples, visit the Featured Websites page. Cargo evolved out of the system that runs the SpaceCollective community. The devlopers found it remarkably successful and efficient in creating visual content on the web, placing a strong emphasis on design, layout, image quality and typography. Their goal is to dramatically increase the accessibility and exposure of creative individuals on the Internet, while aspiring to build a networked context that will contribute to the culture as a whole.

The opening film is Slumdog Millionaire by Danny Boyle.
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Danny Boyle and his creative team take us on a cinematic rollercoaster ride with modern-day India as backdrop. Based on Vikas Swarup’s best selling novel, Q&A, and adapted for the screen by scriptwriter Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty), Slumdog Millionaire is a sharp, electrifying, picaresque, very romantic film. We would like to thank SF Norway for the opportunity to open Oslo International Film Festival with the Scandinavian premiere of Slumdog Millionaire, a glorious adventure and a movie to celebrate.
