Apologies in advance if this isn't vastly NZ centric...
I've just finished the build of 'High Arctic', an artistic interactive
installation at National Maritime Museum in London with United Visual
Artists.
http://www.nmm.ac.uk/visit/exhibitions/on-display/high-arctic/
'The installation was created as a response to the arctic journey of Matt
Clark of UVA, who traveled with the arts and climate science foundation Cape
Farewell to the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard in September 2010 aboard the
100-year old Dutch schooner, the Noorderlicht.'
I don't usually post the work that I do with UVA, but given that a lot of
people travel through London and it is on for six months, I thought it might
be of interest to people.
As a freelance NZ art coder, you can know that kiwi claw prints are pattered
all over this one.
Warm Regards,
Luke

Honor thanks for the info!
In the mid 80s I did 2 radio shows featuring female musicians and 5 or 6 short interviews I made with women in Dunedin.
It was a great experience and I was stoked by the feedback I got. I never realized so many listened to the station.
I didn't get further involved only because I was busy with other stuff and I only did those shows because someone there specifically asked me.
Those working there were incredibly open and welcoming and I think at the time they had plenty of volunteers probably because of this energy.
