Virtual via Zoom, Auckland , New Zealand
This discussion is the seventh Auckland LASER talk (Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendezvous), an international platform for informal conversations that bring together artists, designers, scientists, activists and communities.
Mapping movements: data, space, and place
This presentation will focus on two narrative-based projects that engage with cultural and historical identity through immersive media:
- Dr Rachel Shearer will discuss her sound installation work that investigates earth-energies and environmental recording, the sonification of data and exploring the structures and patterns of ecological and material processes through the lens of both Māori and European epistemologies.
- Dr Leon Gurevitch will give a brief overview of “Astrodata”: A visualisation project to understand the development of astrophotography as an emergent global amateur photography genre.
