The preparations for Aalto University have been connected with misunderstandings having caused bad feelings, premature frowning and breaks in a communication chain. When the files of the Soviet Union opened, we received revolutionary information concerning the student union movement. The tests conducted at the MIR research station have detected that most technical students, economics students and artists are nice and cause tender feelings.

From the previously mentioned basis, we must come to a conclusion that the current, mainly electronic communications methods are unreliable and as such are not suitable for communications between the student unions. This is supported by the observation that, in general, fuses are blown via e-mails and by the fact that human communication already has successfully taken place.

The common research group of the HSE, TaiK and TKK, the Human Communications Reception Centre, has developed a visionary communications technology as a solution to this problem. This communications method will be tried out on 30 September from 11am to 2pm between spots located on different centre campuses. In this communication experience the audience will be asked to deliver text messages by using the system. The experiment might cause hassle, bustle and a hullabaloo.

The results of the test usage will be published immediately or almost right after the test ends but in any case in a festive atmosphere at Rautatientori Square from 3pm onwards. At the same time, we also organise post-manipulation through different organisations and groups for those who participated in the test.

If and when this is not enough for scientific conclusions, a mass communications experiment which is mainly audio-based will be organised at Dipoli from 7.30pm onwards. The purpose is to examine, among other things, the effects of a rhythmic sound on the flexibility of joints. This test will be conducted together with professionals in this field.

The following professionals have promised to participate: Stand up comedians Sami Hedberg and Pekka Jalava, Scandinavian Music Group, AlaValA, Pintandwefall, Kuha., Klaus Thunder & Ukkosmaine and Dj Proteus and Erkko, delivered by Entropy, and Entropy's own testing team: dduck b2b hannu and Oblivius b2b Kalvin Koolidge.

Feasibility studies will be published in the event in a cd format. The material on the cd is collected from the Male Choir of the Student Union of Helsinki School of Economics, the Female Choir of the Student Union of Helsinki School of Economics, the Polytech Choir, the Polytech Orchestra, Teknologorkestern Humpsvakar, Retuperän WBK and Polirytmi. The report can be bought for 10 euro.
