fps decorators,

by Sam Hamilton

hi All, again in the Auckland International Film Festival we are happy to see the inclusion of the "fps" program of experimental live film and cinema. unfortunately, this year we had a bung accident with our venue, the St James, having a fire and being put under fire ban until further notice, leaving us with little option that to take it to the Edge's Aotea Centre Lower NZI Theatre, which needless to say lacks a certain charm the St James has. im rather determined to install as much 'charm' as i can possibly fit into the Lower NZI Theatre. i wont say much about the cunning wee tricks which are in the pipelines... but, what i do wont to say is, if anyone is interested; artists, set designers, theatre contortionists, magicians, media artists, sculptures, collectors or lunatics with to much unusual junk, space shits, marbles, kites, projectors, lighting, plants, sculptures or illusions lying about and feel like getting involved and reinventing the Aotea Centres Lower NZI Theatre with us then please, please give me a bell as i'd love to hear from you!!! otherwise, please come along as its going to be brilliant!! Thursday 26th July Lower NZI Theatre with special guest artists: Abject Leader (Australia's finest contemporary Expanded Cinema creators) Loren Chasse (brilliant, metaphysical sound and media artist from San Francisco) Stella Brennan (well, i cant imagine any of you here on the ADA list, nor the AF list, dont know who this is!!!, if not, its worth your time to find out!) Matthew Brennan & Friends (not to be confused with Stella Brennan, no they are not related. but... they are both brilliant :) ok, adios Sam Hamilton 021 032 1842 samukun(a)gmail.com

Dear Friends You are warmly invited to attend the opening of From Puppets to Pixels - an interactive playground for children of all ages this Thursday at the New Zealand Film Archive.

Created by digital performance group Avatar Body Collision with programmer Douglas Bagnall, UpStage 2 allows people to create theatrical stories together despite being in geographically dispersed locations. UpStage V2 has been funded by the Community Partnership Fund of the Digital Strategy and is sponsored by CityLInk, MediaLab and Auckland University of Technology.

Digital Art Curation and Practice: Aesthetics, Participation, Diversity

by Helen Varley Jamieson

Digital Art Curation and Practice: Aesthetics, Participation, Diversity is a new resource available free online from AHDS Performing Arts. The 2 year Digital Art Curation & Practice project set out to examine, through case studies, 'transitional' activities where galleries are expanding their events to include digital media. The project questioned existing definitions surrounding exhibit, event and performance in order to understand the potential for the future development of digital arts exhibition spaces. The resource includes articles in pdf format and images of digital performance. It can be downloaded from http://ahds.ac.uk/performingarts/collections/digitalartcuration.htm All AHDS Performing Arts collections are available from http://www.ahds.ac.uk/performingarts/collections/ Daisy Abbott AHDS Performing Arts D.Abbott(a)hatii.arts.gla.ac.uk Tel:0141 330 2758 Explore AHDS Performing Arts at http://performingarts.ahds.ac.uk/ -- ____________________________________________________________ helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst helen(a)creative-catalyst.com http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.avatarbodycollision.org http://www.upstage.org.nz http://www.writerfind.com/hjamieson.htm ____________________________________________________________
