In 2007 Spiegel was named the Artistic Director of Rockheim, the new National Rock and Pop Museum in Norway which opened in August 2010 to critical and public acclaim. As with most of Spiegel's work, the museum experience includes a significant virtual component - Virtual Rockheim - as a co-creation tool for visitors.

His company produced an educational tablet-based quiz on betting in sport for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, and is also designer of a "game for change" called SportingChoice which employs a game-based interactive experience to educate young athletes about the dangers of illicit betting in sport.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Your children get a lot of good stuff out of your work...They benefit from the tales you tell over dinner. They learn from the things you explain to them about what you do. They brag about you at school. They learn that work is interesting, that it has dignity, that it is necessary and pleasing, and that it is a perfectly natural thing for both mothers and fathers to do...Your work enriches your children more than it deprives them.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
“There is a hearty Puritanism in the view of human nature which pervades the instrument of 1787. It is the work of men who believed in original sin, and were resolved to leave open for transgressors no door which they could possibly shut.”
—James Bryce (1838–1922)
