Tending Networks: The 5th Aotearoa Digital Arts Symposium will address
new developments, connections, and opportunities in digital, new media

challenges posed by exhibiting digital art.
ADA, the Aotearoa Digital Arts Trust, invites artists, researchers,
curators, art enthusiasts and all those interested in creative community
networks from Christchurch and around New Zealand to participate. More

The ADA Trust is pleased to announce the major international guests of
Tending Networks, the Seoul-based art collective Young Hae Chang Heavy
Industries (www.yhchang.com), whose multi-lingual, text-based online
artworks have been shown at the Tate Modern, the Centre Pompidou, the
Whitney Museum and the Venice Biennale. Symposium attendees will have a
unique chance to experience a new flash-based, digital artwork generated
specifically for the symposium by these two leading Korean practitioners.
Also presenting is Amsterdam-based New Zealand artist and social
entrepeneur Adam Hyde (http://www.xs4all.nl/~adam/), who has been an
active producer and organiser in the European new media art scene for
the past decade. Adam will discuss his own work, and also provide an
overview of the role of online and offline networks in developing and
nurturing new media art and open source software tools. Adam is also
developing, with Julian Priest, 'A Geekosystem', an exhibition at The
Physics Room where members of the public will be welcome to participate
in creating new gadgets out of recycled electronic components.
An associated event is "Seance for Nam June Paik", a screening and
performance event in the basement of the SoFA Gallery in the
Christchurch Arts Centre. This playful tribute to the recently deceased
Korean-born father of new media art attempts to summon up the genius of
his interventions in new technologies.
Tending Networks is supported by The Physics Room Contemporary Art
Project Space, Design and Arts College of New Zealand, Creative New
Zealand, the Asia New Zealand Foundation, and the ADA Trust.
