thankyou helen! all these congrats are making me feel terribly homesick! i'll be sure to turn some of the prize money into a plane ticket. promise!
i really do hope to catch up with a lot of you on this list in person, with what you're working on and the scene back home more generally. in all seriousness i haven't had a holiday longer than a week in three years, let alone one in NZ. shameful really.. in any case, looking at your websites and reading about your work from time to time i'm regularly blown away. as regards the field i'm working in currently, Ian Clothier and Rob Carter are right up there with the best of them. Julian Priest is another i regularly mention when giving talks on the topic: a very early and strong voice positioning wireless networking as a plastic medium in itself (in fact he comes up in a talk i'm giving on the topic here in Toronto at Subtle Tech). being entirely independent is all very well but many makers living in NZ do what they do with very little, often no arts funding at all. i have been mentioning this in recent interviews when the question of support and origin comes up. Europeans (as i am myself now in part) are genuinely surprised at hearing of student loans and what's done with sub 10k grants; our country is popularly considered an antipodean Switzerland, it seems.. kia kaha, julian On Fri, May 27, 2011 11:04 am, helen varley jamieson wrote: > great, well done julian! :) > > On 26/05/11 3:58 PM, Honor Harger wrote: >> Hi ADA >> >> Not sure if you've heard yet, but New Zealand artist, Julian Oliver, >> has won the top prize at the world's most prestigious prize for >> digital art - the Prix Ars Electronica: >> >> http://new.aec.at/prix/en/gewinner/#interactive-art >> >> Julian Oliver won the highly coveted Golden Nica in Interactive Art >> for his work, "Newstweek" made in collaboration with Danja Vasiliev >> (RU). >> http://newstweek.com/ >> >> Horray! >> >> Honor > > > -- > ____________________________________________________________ > > helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst > [email protected] > http://www.creative-catalyst.com > http://www.avatarbodycollision.org > http://www.upstage.org.nz > ____________________________________________________________ > > _______________________________________________ > Ada_list mailing list > [email protected] > http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/ > Julian Oliver home: New Zealand based: Berlin, Germany currently: Toronto, Canada about: http://julianoliver.com _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list [email protected] http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/
