Material Music by Mo H. Zareei
Exhibition
Update: Due to the recent lockdown restrictions, the exhibition will now take place online. The projects can be visited on our Cyber Gallery. A further introduction will be given by the artists in our online talk on Friday 10.9. from 7pm to 9pm NZT. We hope to host the physical exhibition at a later stage.
The Garden Aotearoa showcases over 20 projects from New Zealand’s artists, musicians, scientists and researchers in the form of prototypical installations, performances and talks. The garden is designed as a bi-directional portal and welcomes national and international visitors to a cyber-physical environment. Both local and international guests can experience the projects in a virtual 3D gallery and through a series of online events. We are looking forward to welcome you in person in Wellington or online using your mobile phone, PC or VR head-set.
LightSense
arc/sec Lab, et al.
LightSense introduces a new generation of responsive architecture. It combines a kinetic construction with 3D holographic information. An AI system allows the hybrid structure to perform autonomous architectural behaviours when talking to its visitors.
ClothTiles
Sachith Muthukumarana, et al.
ClothTiles presents a fabrication technique that enables the actuation in clothing. This method enables the ease of fabrication and the possibility of generating precisely localized structures, including localized control of the substrate’s rigidity, altogether allowing us to develop versatile actuation behaviors.

Channeling Future Technologies
Juan Schutte, Olaf Diegel, et al.
“ Channeling Future Technologies ” leverages artistic concepts, the team having developed the engineering and manufacturing required to bring visions to life.
Material Music
Mo H. Zareei
Material Music offers an alternative approach to sonic materialism, one that emphasises the corporeal materiality of the sound object.
CyberBio
Jacky Zheng
The CyberBio project aims to nurture a symbiotic relationship between human and bio-architecture, through the cyber-physical interactions created using HoloLens 2 interlinked with various computational components, sensors and actuators.
A Fantastic Journey By Boat
Sarah-Jane Blake
A Fantastical Journey by Boat is an immersive performance and multi media art experience that takes you across a magical ocean.
Ensemble Mechatronic
Blake Johnston, Bridget Johnson, et al.
Ensemble mechatronic is a collaborative art project that features a collection of mechatronic sound sculptures exploring sonic space. The three works leverage the precision and expression of emerging mechatronic technologies to create immersive sonic experiences.
Click::RAND
Paul Dunham
Can a book’s text be used as data for sonification? Using electromechanical relays’ sonic by-products, Click::RAND is the sonic articulation of The RAND Corporation’s book A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates.
Machine Song: Gesture 1
Jim Murphy
Machine Song: Gesture 1 is the first in a series of sound sculptures that seek to extract sonic gesturality from materials through the use of mechanical apparatus.
Polynomial Divination
Douglas Easterly, Zach Challies
Polynomial Divination is a meditation on technologically-driven creative exploration, relying on a blend of computer-based rendering, high-resolution 3d voxel printing, and a custom projection/lighting system.
Spectra
Blake Johnston
Spectra is a mechatronic audiovisual work that navigates the intersections of sound and light. The work investigates their shared medium and explores how each element interact and distort one another
Embodied VR
Miriam Ross
Be transported into intimate proximity with intensely physical bodies, where your presence in their world depends on your embodied attention
