Projects
Projects have included: three SCANZ events, in 2006, 2009 and 2011 involving residency, exhibitions and public presentation, workshops, and hui/symposia; The Park Speaks involving a networked botanical garden and data sensors where data readings are translated into spoken phrases; dmap a digital media art education prototype; Haiku robots a robotic art work that generates live word list letter by letter dynamically ; and Space_sense a joint Candian-New Zealand residency project.
Curatorial Fellow (International) Nina Czegledy is working with the centre on a joint Canada-New Zealand project which included a residency period at Banff. The resultant work Atmosphere and Areosphere with collaborator Janine Randerson was showcased during SCANZ 2011: Eco sapiens, projected on the New Plymouth Observatory dome.
Interdisciplinary creative projects include The Park Speaks involving a team of collaborators where data based spoken words are played over two computers incorporating dual desktop video and triple data projection; Haiku robots, robotic art work in collaboration with engineer Andrew Hornblow and Julian Priest as software author; and Branch on branch an augmented reality artwork in conjunction with the Human Interface Technology Lab NZ.
Current projects include {second nature} an exhibition engaging tangata whenua, artists, scientists and digital media based on themes shared by Maori and European thinking, for ISEA Istanbul 2011; an exhibition themed on Wai for ISEA 2012 Albuquerque; SCANZ 2013: Eco sapiens; and an exhibition for ISEA Sydney 2013.
