The following - in this morning from Ross Harley ? might be of interest ...

Hi christchurch ADA-ers, this is a great opportunity to meet + hear

media, as an artist, writer and publisher. He became a friend of ADA
at ISEA this year, and will also be speaking in Wellington and
Auckland - more detail on those dates will follow. ...

Hi,

A reminder that proposals for the SCANZ symposium are due October 15th. http://www.intercreate.org/scanz/symposium.html ...

my copy just arrived (now I have a postal address). it looks great! congrats to all involved. so far I've read the SCANZ, free documentation and archiving articles and flipped through to look at the pictures (very high quality!) the best thing I like about NZ arts is that you make your own fun. I was speaking to an Aus friend the other week and he was complaining that he was missing out on all the festivals and exhibitions as he was in Brisbane not UK/Europe (he was at isea though). I suggested he could always make his own fun and start a festival or symposium and gave examples of the NZ ADA community and Audio Foundation which I think are amazing. you guys just don't wait for someone to ask you to do something/collaborate - you just get out there and do it yourselves. ...

Predominantly arts organisers and / or curators who have specific affiliations with national funding agencies, government bodies or support mechanisms tied to national identity (Goethe Institute, Mondriaan Foundation, Pro Helvetia, etc). Given that a similarly expansive body doesn't exist for New Zealanders, the curators seeking funding for the Aotearoan Biomorphological Sculpture show in Tajikistan will be sorely disappointed ...

I thought some on the list might be interested in this.

Cheers,

Danny

hey adam ----

Well as you know as Ian and I are sort of pottering away with
developing what is essentially an online networking and shared
research space. It has changed a bit since we last spoke about it and
has become more specifically and literally about the exchange of
thoughts, questions, and ideas that emerge out of individual's
practices. We are at the moment working with a small group of writers
to tinker with how this might be done, but it is looking like the
development of smaller and more plentiful nodes of thought, rather
than the larger 'units' that we were initially thinking of, may be a
more feasible and useful approach. In time though it is hoped that
this would form one layer of a more complex space. ...

hi,

Just wanted to pip in and say I think SCANZ is an amazing model for networking NZ artists and curators etc with each other and people from other countries... ...

Hi Julian ---

I think you are misinterpreting what I was trying to say there --

One of the main goals of SCANZ as a residency, is to provide a
networking space for practitioners - NZ and international - to get to
know each other and each other's work. This is more about putting
together interesting people and ideas than anything else. It is not
done on from a nationalistic point of view - though it may
periodically explore concepts that might relate to that. Generally
though it is just a short-lived but hopefully effective way to
simulate what happens regularly all the time when in Europe -- Zagreb
included -- where various artists and curators from all over are
often popping through and that networking can occur with less
augmentation. In terms of context and strength -- it just means that
the NZ artists are not having to be the ones living in a suitcase, etc. ...

one reason i'm not especially /confident/ about investment in sites that promote "New Zealand Media Art" is that based on my experience very few people in the media-art scene care at all where a person is from in the context of discovering and engaging with a work. if anything the "where are you from?" question is either a personal aside or is asked to determine whether they can afford to fly you to their gig.. ...
