[Ada_list] SCANZ 2013 3rd nature wānanga

Hi,

The SCANZ 2013: 3rd nature wānanga line up is now online. The primary aim is to bring together people from Aotearoa and around the world to talk about integrating indigenous knowledge into art, science and technology projects. Intercreate is interested in this approach as it is considered important to resolving issues around a sustainable future. We hold that listening to the indigenous voice could be the key element. Certainly more people worldwide are appreciating this way of thinking. While some will travel here, this year we have funded the least international fares of all SCANZ events, and we are enhancing the online presentation component.

Another important element is managing interdisciplinarity and intercultural content. Currently on the intercreate site, presentations are grouped according to category but we are working behind the scenes, to have culture and discipline flow across Māori knowledge, science and art.

Day one of the wānanga-symposium is to be held at Owae Marae, day two is at the Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki (WITT) and day three is split between WITT and Pukekura Park, where several creative projects will be viewed.

Dr Te Huirangi Waikerepuru is a keynote speaker as is Nina Czegledy, an international artist-scientist who works from Canada and Hungary.

Staff of the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, and the Institute of Environmental and Scientific Research will present.

Local Taranaki organisations involved in the wānanga are: Owae marae representatives, Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki, Matahiapo, Nga Motu Marine Reserve Society, and Friends of the Waitara River Ngaa Hoa o te Muriwai o Waitara.

New Zealand Universities include: Massey University, University of Otago, University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology.

International universities represented: University of Toronto, Duke University, Universität der Künste Berlin, Concordia University, Symbiotica (University of Western Australia) and Australian National University.

International organisations include: Hackteria.org and the Australian Network for Art and Technology.

Project partners are Creative New Zealand, Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki, Matahiapo, Govett-Brewster Art Gallery and Puke Ariki.

Me and my partner will be traveling to Wellington/NZ beginning of December to look into a job opportunity there,
with the possibility of the both of us moving there beginning 2013 - exciting!
I am originally Austrian, currently residing in The Netherlands but I have never lived outside Europe before,
and also have never visited New Zealand before - so this certainly is a big step / great challenge.

I would be happy to get in touch with people from NZ, or with someone who has moved there (from Europe) and can share experiences,
give hints, opinions on what to possibly expect there as a "European new media artist/designer".
And of course I would also love to meet up with some Faces during my visit beginning December, if possible.

Warmly
Birgit

[Ada_list] call out: 1980s NZ Computer Games

Hi ADAers,

Currently, I am heading up the "Play It Again" research team, a game history and preservation project focused on 1980s New Zealand and Australian computer games. The project is a collaboration with several moving image and game archives in New Zealand, Australia and Germany, and has received funding under the Australian Research Council's Linkage Grants Program. You can read all about it at our blog: http://blogs.flinders.edu.au/play-it-again/

Yesterday, I put our draft NZ games title list online. At just over 200 titles, it is a good start. But we suspect there are many more titles we don't know about. I am writing to invite you to take a look at it and help us to complete it, as much as possible. Please send us missing information, and help us get the message out to knowledgeable people by sending it onto your friends and contacts. We are interested in all New Zealand-written computer games of the 1980s, or those written by Kiwi expats, whether published or not.

The link is in the above blog post, and there's also the obligatory range of buttons to help share the news on facebook, twitter, email etc. Word of mouth is key, so I'd be very grateful for any help you can offer in sharing this.

Comments/contributions should go to playitagain@flinders.edu.au<mailto:playitagain@flinders.edu.au>

Many thanks.

Melanie

[Ada_list] Free Online Performance Festival Seeks Donations

Fresh from the stimulating CyPosium event the UpStage Festival Architects are swinging into gear with the 121212 festival in under 2 months

Full text of the appeal can be found here http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=4297


- - - in short - - -

More than 100 performance artists from around the world come together in December for the 121212 Upstage Festival of Cyberformance – a festival of innovative live performance all created and performed online.

(find out more here http://upstage.org.nz/blog/)

Attending the 121212 UpStage Festival of Cyberformance is completely free for anyone – but it costs money to produce, so organisers are seeking donations to help make it happen.


The annual festival, now in its sixth year, is organised by artists Vicki Smith and Helen Varley Jamieson, with a team of dedicated volunteers in New Zealand and around the world – online meetings of the team cross multiple timezones and languages.



The festival takes place online from 5-13 December, during which 38 innovative live performances will be offered via a variety of online platforms – all free of charge and accessible via a standard internet connection and browser.


A Creative New Zealand grant provides some assistance, however additional funds must still be raised to cover the organisational costs of the festival. Anyone planning to attend the festival is invited to donate in lieu of buying a ticket :)
