 esasaarinen.com: About E. Saarinen
Saarinen is a regular guy from Hyvinkää, Finland, who lives in the center of Helsinki on the street Bulevardi ("the Boulevard"), a street he loves for its green, middle-European flavour and for its nearness to Cafe Ekberg, a favorite hang-out.
The big dream is to walk on his home street Bulevardi at the age of 80, completely bald, wearing a pink tuxedo, and tremendously in love with the Lady of His Life, the Queen, looking at her in the same way as he did at the time he was courting her in the early 1980's.
Esa's appointment to HUT was an initiative of Professor Raimo P. Hämäläinen, a leading systems and decision theorist.

 Saarinen Womb Chair -- Recommendations and Resources
Eero Saarinen (August 20, 1910, in Kirkkonummi, Finland – September 1, 1961, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States) was a Finnish-American architect of the 20th century famous for his simple sweeping and arching shapes.
The 'Tulip' chair Saarinen served on the jury for the Sydney Opera House commission and is thought to have been influential in the selection of the internationally-known design by Jørn Utzon.
Eliel Saarinen moved to the United States in the 1923 after his noted competition entry for the Tribune Tower in Chicago, and continued his professional and academic career based in Michigan.

 Esa Saarinen - In Search of the Magnificent Life
For Saarinen, Nokia as an innovative global company, provides a perfect environment upon which to develop his human 'RandD' ideas and for the people of Nokia his broad humanistic themes touch a common chord.
Saarinen feels that Nokia's approach is very much part of the spirit of the times as a global company that thrives on the creative energies of a broad and diverse spectrum of people.
Saarinen wants to encourage people to be clearer in articulating their own style and also the joy of life.

 Imagoclasms
On Taylor and Saarinen's view, the ensemble of these changes is commensurate with a philosophical valorisation of the fragment, contradiction, non-binary logic, "triviledge", the banal, and the image.
Taylor and Saarinen target the university as a pre-eminent node of this print culture, and hyperbolically conduct a witty and sustained debunking of its pretensions, coming to an early crescendo in the section entitled "Ending the Academy".
The problem with Taylor and Saarinen's version of the imagologist as a solution to the ills of the postmodern rapidly digitising academy is that the dominant discourse of education at the moment is that of marketing, already transforming pedagogical practice.

Some thirty years later, Mark Taylor and Esa Saarinen arrive at a similar conclusion in Imagologies: "In simcult, substance is style and style is substance" (1994).
Though McLuhan authored his text during the dawn of the computer revolution and Taylor and Saarinen offer their recent ideas at the apparent height of digital culture, both books are insightful examinations of the nature of technology.
Taylor and Saarinen agree with a theatrical rendering of communication within electronic media." In a culture of the simulacrum, communicative practice is necessarily theatrical.

 Raijmakers Imalogies Review
Imagologies by Mark C. Taylor and Esa Saarinen is an example of this latter category.
Esa Saarinen suggests a somewhat different tactic: Shock-effect reading, that is what I would recommend.
Hypertextual reading, in the sense in which you jump around at will in a given textmass, not necessarily intending to grasp the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

 Earth Wide Moth: Taylor and Saarinen - Imagologies (1994)
In Imagologies, Mark Taylor and Esa Saarinen weave and warp through a series of new media (vintage 1994) fabrics.
Such a disposition, according to Taylor and Saarinen, "requires a Kierkegaardian leap of faith in the age of faithlessness" (Naiveté 1).
Taylor and Saarinen tell us that "naiveté should not be confused with superficiality," and "the postmodern condition is inescapably superficial" (5).

 Interview with Mark C. Taylor
As you pointed out in IMAGOLOGIES, business and the media use the technology all the time that you and Esa Saarinen used to conduct your international seminar.
Esa Saarinen and I began planning for our seminar for the global classroom in the summer of 1991 and conducted the class in the fall of 1992.
The explosion of interest in the so-called information superhighway since that time makes it difficult to remember how little attention was being paid to technological developments in telecommunications only a few years ago.

 Imagologies: Media Philosophy - book review
Mark Taylor (Humanities, USA) and Esa Saarinen (Philosophy, Finland) hit upon a bright idea way back in 1991.
There are also some interesting reflections on the unstable nature of texts created in collective enterprises, especially those using hypertext links and the Internet.
However, their 'solution' of argument-fragmentation and the absence of page numbering and an index do not imitate the conditions of electronic writing as they seem to imagine.
