Open call SCANZ reminder

by Ian Clothier

Hi ADA, Just a reminder that the first call for SCANZ 2013 3RD Nature project applications is due February 15th 2012. This timing is early to allow successful applicants planning time and to assist raising funds. The project page and pdf of the call is found at: http://www.intercreate.org/scanz2013-3rdnature/ We have already been receiving very good applications from international artists and groups. The call text is pasted below: SCANZ 2013: 3rd Nature early call The concept of a third space a zone of hybridity traverses the cultural landscape from the writing of Homi Bhabha in the mid 1990s, to Sony advertising (see hypertext.rmit.edu.au/dac/papers look for mcguire.pdf). Hybridity is now embedded in creative and cultural production and consumption. A space of hybridity can assimilate potentially any set of concepts. SCANZ 2013 3rd Nature seeks to develop a fresh space, carrying memes from previous SCANZ events (which have all had an emphasis on environment) and other Intercreate projects that have involved scientists, indigenous peoples and artists working together. We are aiming to build new knowledge and establish legacies around this work, unencumbered by old perspectives and now distant categories. We ignore the environmental crisis at our peril. Integrating the indigenous perspective, creative, environmental and scientific views on the environment is essential for continued human habitation of the planet. From these trajectories, it is possible to conceive of a fresh hybrid space, composed of overlapping elements. We ask tangata whenua, artists, technologists, teachers, environmentalists, scientists, philosophers, educationalists, indigenous peoples, technologists and lecturers to contact us with ideas for talks, discussions, presentations, residency projects, exhibition ideas for gallery space and a botanic garden. And to join us on the weekend of January 1st - 3rd 2013 at a hui to share knowledge and build resources. Important dates: Early expression of interest due: February 15 2012 Residency proposed dates: Saturday 19 January to Monday 4 February 2013 Symposium proposed dates: February 1-3 2013 Call This is a call for project concepts for the fourth SCANZ residency to be held in New Plymouth, New Zealand early in 2013. Planned are: a two week residency and Open Lab beginning with a one night stay over at historic Owae marae, an exhibition at Puke Ariki museum, four projects in a botanic garden, a Pecha Kucha night and a three day symposium with a presentation evening on the middle night. 3rd nature themes This project involves creativity and innovation at the intersection of three critical interfaces: *Acknowledging the environmental crisis *Engaging with Maori and indigenous peoples *Engaging the Sciences and Hybrid Arts These intersecting dialogues together provide space for a 3rd Nature, a fresh space for engaging with new knowledge and approaches vital to a sustainable civilisation. Possible activities Exhibition projects in Puke Ariki museum. Residency projects at the Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki (WITT) campus. Projects in Pukekura Park botanic garden. Workshops at the WITT campus or local environs including the beach and parks. Symposium papers and presentations. Pecha Kucha night. Open Lab at WITT campus. 3rd Nature application process A two-stage process will be used. The first involves the applicant making a blog. If the project concept succeeds at this first stage, a letter of confirmation will be sent to enable fund raising. A first selection of projects is expected by the end of February 2012. The second stage involves a more detailed level of information. Projects that have passed stage one of the processes will be invited to submit a more detailed application at a later date, which can include requests for part funding. Make a blog Blog sections (compulsory): Project description (500 words max); Image; Relevance (max 500 words); Outputs; CV and bio (one page). You can add pages to an existing blog, but it MUST have the sections described below. 1. Project description Write a project description (max 500 words) of your proposed work for SCANZ 2013 3rd Nature. 2. Image Provide a high quality image. The blog site may restrict you to 800 pixels wide. This image can be optimized for the web. The image need not be directly from the proposed project, which may be in development, but it should be representative of your activity working with similar themes. If your application passes the first stage, at a later stage you may be requested for a higher resolution print-ready image. 3. Relevance In 500 words maximum, explain the relevance of your idea by either discussing your project in relation to one or more of the three themes - Acknowledging the environmental crisis; Engaging with Maori and indigenous peoples; Engaging the Sciences and Hybrid Arts Or: Discuss the way your project contributes to a fresh space for engaging with new knowledge and approaches important to a sustainable civilisation. 4. Outputs What are the potential outputs of your project? Select as appropriate: Exhibition, Workshop, Symposium, Presentation Evening, Open. Stating options does not at this stage guarantee acceptance. There are six places for exhibition at Puke Ariki, the local integrated museum and library. In addition there are four proposed places at a local botanic garden which has botanical and network resources including a data sensor network connected to an Open Mesh box. The residency will also involve an Open Lab, for residency participants to share and collaborate (interested members of the public are welcome). At this time two workshops are proposed, one involving low cost electronics and second involving wind powered art. A presentation evening is planned on the final Saturday of the residency and a three day hui-symposium will be held also over the final weekend. 5. CV and bio (one page) Provide a one to two paragraph biography (in the third person) followed by your selection of career highlights in the form of CV. When copy and pasted, the Bio and CV should not exceed an A4 or US letter page. You can either simply refer to the last few years, or a range of years. Email the blog address to ian.clothier(a)intercreate.org with the subject 3rd Nature application¹.

Emerging Pixels

by Dawn Hutchesson

Emerging Pixels By AUT University students Digital Art Live Owens Foyer, Level 2, Aotea Centre Wednesday 14 December 2011 - Tuesday 31 January 2012 Emerging Pixels Digital Art Live offers the opportunity for young digital and interactive artists to present their works. Emerging Pixels showcases emerging talents from the Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies at AUT University. Skylight By Robert Carter and Christine Probert 14 December 2011 to 5 January 2012 * Skylight establishes a connection with the atmospheric environment, in a space which is normally well insulated from sun, rain and wind. As the turbulence of human activity builds in the room, the screen becomes a mirror to the recent past of the sky above. This installation combines artificial intelligence with photography to create a new view of the sky above the Aotea Centre. Robert Carter and Christine Probert are James Charlton’s students of the Bachelor of Creative Technology from the Interdisciplinary Unit. Dimensions by Olivier Ou and Leo Zhou 6 to 19 January 2012 Dimensions is based on the concept of timelines and movement. As you move in front of the Digital Art Live screen, your image is projected onto the screen in edited fragments. The artwork gives the viewer a new perspective their body in time. Olivier Ou and Leo Zhou are James Charlton’s students of the Bachelor of Creative Technology from the Interdisciplinary Unit. AirDJ By Justin Matthews, Carl Naysmith, Oezge Koeroglu, Florian Pahler and Hans Tommy 20 to 31 January 2012 AirDJ allows the audience to use the movement of their hands in front of the Digital Art Live screen to control and conduct a series of musical loops. AirDJ provides an engaging and fun interactive experience for people to play and create their own musical score. Justin Matthews, Carl Naysmith, Oezge Koeroglu, Florian Pahler and Hans Tommy are Ans Bradford’s students from AUT’s School of Communication Studies. * THE EDGE will be closed from 24 December 2011 to 3 January 2012.
