KLAASZ BREUKEL

Step into the photo-booth and film your facial expressions – the images are then projected onto a water mist screen in a somewhat distorted, visually intriguing way.

When the booth is not in use pre-recorded facial expressions will screen along with animated motion graphics. Whatever is happening on the ‘water screen’ is reflected in the water of the pond.

Breukel is a tutor at NMIT and runs the graphic design studio This is Them.

LYNDA DUNCAN, ELLA DUNCAN AND SUE GARLICK

Reef is a response to climate change and our throw away attitudes.  It draws attention to the plight of the oceans, particularly reef bleaching and destruction, by creating something that is beautiful superficially but is constructed from materials that are wreaking havoc on our planet. Reef also uses light, animated film and sound to create an interactive alternative underwater world.

Lynda is a local artist and teacher, Ella is an artist living in Wellington and Sue is a local artist and teacher, currently living in Singapore.

ANTHONY GENET

Is it on fire, is it an alien, a recently crashed meteorite or some strange new fungus?

This installation features three large neon balls around 1200mm in diameter that sit /on the gound. Glowing in bright orange, the sculpture is made from glass neon tubing interwoven in a pattern that twists and writhes like flames in a roaring fire.

Genet is a glass artist who owns Nelson’s Fame Daisy studio.
