Solar Circuit Aotearoa New Zealand (SCANZ)

Solar Circuit Aotearoa New Zealand (SCANZ) is New Zealand’s premier art, technology, culture and ecology event and involves a symposium, creative residency, and public events and exhibitions. Occurring biennially, it has typically involved a mix of Aotearoa New Zealand and international artists, producers, theorists and curators many of whom are leading practitioners. Held in New Plymouth, SCANZ 2015: water & peace will be the fifth event and will be organised by Ian Clothier, Trudy Lane, and Nina Czegledy of Intercreate, in partnership with aligned organisations within the arts and sciences and with tangata whenua, in particular Te Matahiapo.

SCANZ 2013: 3rd nature

18th of January – 4th of February

Creativity and innovation at the intersection of three critical interfaces:

*Acknowledging the environmental crisis
*Engaging with Maori and indigenous peoples
*Engaging with Earth Sciences and the Hybrid Arts

These three intersecting dialogues provide space for a Third Nature, a fresh space for engaging with new knowledge and approaches vital to a sustainable civilisation.
