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.
