JOHN-PAUL POCHIN

This is a project about recycling and cycling, using a computer-controlled cycling simulator created using printer parts and a recycled projector. It is a fun way to highlight some of the difficulties cyclists face in Nelson and our wastefulness in throwing away things that are still useful.

John-Paul Pochin is a digital artist, photographer, and was one of the Light Nelson founders.

Created with help from Chris Leyland and Frog Twissel.

ALIYA EGAN & RIKKI-LEE HANNA

This is an underwater themed installation, named Medusozoa, which is the scientific name for jellyfish. The installation will be an interactive jellyfish field made out of recycled plastics and will glow in the dark, just like the jellyfish in the depths of the sea.

Egan and Hanna are students at NMIT. 

JASMINE DAVIES

In a work which highlights the issue of deforestation, Davies illustrates the expanding human habitat encroaching upon nature by using an LED lit, paper-cut nature scene displayed in a glass dome.

Jasmine Davies is a second year Visual Arts and Media student at NMIT.

CAITLIN HAYWARD

The theme for this project is celestial lights, focusing on celestial bodies or light sources (sun, moon and stars) and forming a narrative happening between them. The work appears as if suspended amongst clouds to create an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere for people to step beneath or imagine themselves a part of.

Hayward is a level 5 Arts and Media student at NMIT.
