Hi ADAs, We have had a number of requests to extend the deadline for SCANZ2018: Peace, Water, Power so we have extended the proposal deadline by one week. Proposals are now due midnight Saturday December 2nd NZ time.
Further steps have been taken with regard to increasing engagement with the community of Parihaka and we are pleased to announce that due to the support of Maata Wharehoka, the residency will based at Parihaka. The primary food source during the residency is to be the organic garden. The residency begins on Monday 29th January 2018 and works are presented on Monday 12th of February during the hui. Residency proposals can be for anylength of stay between these dates, with a focus on presenting on the 12th. Applicants can apply with either projects that engage with Peace, Water and Power (separately or in combination) or a Professional Development project. A project that aligns feathers, floating on the water and LEDs has been suggested by Maata Wharehoka, so we are seeking leads on that project. In the past there have been works that used wind power, breath power, battery power and solar energy. What are peaceful ways to connect with the environment, humans, plants and animals? How might these be formulated into a creative project? What does Peace mean on the whenua (land) of Parihaka? How can the expertise of artists on the residency be utilised in sharing knowledge across generations in workshops on the Papakainga (Pa)? What happens when electronic art projects need to take into account power usage, due to limited solar based supply? What does a ‘ground up’ creative project look like i.e. built from considering the whenua and reaching to the sky, with a view on Peace, Water or Power? What are ways to peacefully and positively engage with the stream at Parihaka? *Residency participants and resources* We are pleased to announce that Intercreate International Research Fellow (New Energy Systems) Allan Giddy will be participating in the residency and completing a project. In addition, we have the support of Intercreate Creative Engineer and The University of Shed founder Andrew Hornblow, with resources for temporary use: Proto boards Resistors, circuit and battery power components Data sensors Solar garden lights (explorations in solar energy used to power micro sensors (picaxe sense + Cicadacom based radio conversations ) Picaxe uAmp micro controllers Raspberry Pi small client computers (networking, Media platform HDMI Output, Sound and sound file waiata, korero ) MP3 players (small stand alone manual, interactive or networked sound animated artworks) Various sensors ( touch, fluid, movement ) These can be assembled on Kiwi patch PCB (small simple sensors Kea Patch ( medium complexity nodes meeting places for data ) Kea patch small weatherproof container systems Potential equipment available: 100watt, 10watt and 5 watt solar panels, 12 v batteries and inverter Data projectors Video editing (at the WITT campus) HD video cameras Media player 5watt solar panel Interior speakers Access to the sea, green waste and other natural resources. *Application url* https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scanz2018 *Due date of proposals* Midnight Saturday 2nd December NZ time. *Finances* Our application to Creative NZ was declined and this means there is no money to pay artist fees or transportation to and from the residency. However the accommodation and food costs are largely covered for successful applicants, who will be expected to follow protocols and offer koha as applicable. Koha can be given as cash or in return for helping out. It will be a residency in an utterly unique location with very high cultural value and being a respectful guest of the community is expected.
