order to prepare for a major funding application."
Please keep to the word limits. Note that discussions of work are not
sought, rather statements of how a work is suitable to one or more themes is
sought.
Applications should be received by 5pm Friday 11 February.
Following are the themes for the selection of works.
"Themes
1. Cosmological context
This is the conception that the sphere of investigation includes the
macroscopic level of stars, suns, planets and stellar systems. Digital works
of art and science are sought.
2. All is energy.
Energistic conceptions of nature range from quantum theory to the Maori
notion that all physical objects (animate and inanimate) have 'mauri' or
energy. Works of art and scientific research in New Zealand are sought.
3. Anthropic principle
The anthropic principle arises as part of sub-nuclear physics and the
concept is embedded within Maori understanding. Here it refers broadly to
the relationship of humans to the cosmos. As well as art works, explanatory
information about the anthropic principle among Maori and in Western science
will be displayed.
4. Integrated systems
The whole of Maori belief is an integrated system, and this is also
instantiated in Systems thinking, Cybernetics and Chaos theory. Artworks are
sought and explanatory information displayed.
5. Life comes from water
Both Taranaki Maori and the contemporary scientific view hold that life
emerged or emerges from water. This will be exemplified in projects and
information panels."
It is possible that not all themes will be represented as part of the
exhibition, dependent on the applications and exhibition requirements.
Best
Ian Clothier
