Dear ADA
We're looking forward to seeing you in Whanganui in December!
**Energetics and Informatics: the 7th ADA Symposium, Whanganui,
December 10-12 2010**
The 7th ADA Network Symposium examines the relationship between energy
and information in media arts. We ask how sustainable is the
technology that supports media art? What new forms of practice are
developing at the intersection of energy conservation and production,
technology, and art? And how can we balance a global arts practice
with the ethical complexities of global air travel, and the social
complexities of remote participation?
These issues will be explored through keynote presentations,
discussions, artist presentations, workshops, a screening programme
and two exhibitions.
The symposium features keynote presentations by internationally
renowned sound and media arts theorist Douglas Kahn, and Australian
artists Joyce Hinterding and David Haines, and a remote conversation
with London-based media artist Graham Harwood, creator of the Coal
Fired Computer.
A wide range of artists and researchers from Whanganui and around New
Zealand will present current projects in art and sustainable energy,
in conference sessions including Sustainable Media (Art), Energy
Networks, and Social Energy.
Friday December 10 is dedicated to a day long workshop with American
artist John Hopkins that will explore Whanganui and its river, via
Waka. This is a parallel event organised by The Green Bench, with
support from Creative Communities.
An outdoor screening programme on the exterior of the Sargeant
Gallery on Saturday December 11, curated by Sophie Jerram, Julian
Priest and Ana Terry, includes films by artists such as Superflex,
Hans Uber Morgen, Brit Bunkley, Amelia Hitchcock, Erin Coates, Karen
Curley and Don Hunter.
In association with ADA, The Sargeant Gallery presents 'Ozinal' 2010
(a radio station from the sun) by Joyce Hinterding and David Haines,
courtesy of the Artists and Breenspace, opening December 10 at 5:30.
And the Green Bench Gallery will be showing 'Burn', an exhibition of
work about Oil, curated by Julian Priest, Sophie Klerk, and Sophie
Jerram. This opens on December 3 at 5:30, and features works by
artists including Superflex, Hans Uber Morgen, Felicity Priest, and
the Whanganui Rock and Lapidary Club
The ADA Network Trust invites artists, researchers, curators, art
enthusiasts, energy researchers, and all those interested in energy,
