DANIEL BELTON & GOOD COMPANY ARTS + STRAWBERRY SOUND

This year Light Nelson invited guest artists – Daniel Belton used to live here, was made an Arts Laureate last year, lives in Dunedin and shows his work widely overseas.

This 20-minute out-door dual projection features two works, Time Dance and Line Dances. The programme is unique to each setting with rebuilds of Time Dance and Line Dances custom mapped for site specific projection, in Nelson they will screen on the west wall of the NMIT library. The work has toured internationally to festival circuits in the UK, Europe, India, Asia and North and South America and with each outing the works are renewed and reworked. Line Dances draws its inspiration from the paintings and drawings of Bauhaus Master, Paul Klee. 

CHELSEA CAMERON, RACHAEL PERSICO AND BETHAN FLETCHER

‘Synthetic Nature’ represents a rapidly increasing sea of plastic. A large, illuminated wave of recycled plastic confronts the viewer with the scale of this problem.

This work is a collaboration between Chelsea Cameron, Rachael Persico and Bethan Fletcher, three second year arts students from NMIT.

JOHN-PAUL POCHIN

Based on the 1980s game 'Lunar Lander', this project uses a laser animation system controlled by a computer. Two people must work together to land the space ship safely. It's a challenging but quite addictive game that provides enormous satisfaction when the goal is achieved.

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

JASMINE SIXTUS

Do you recycle? Are you a tidy kiwi? And how do your choices affect our coast lines? This work aims to bring more awareness to the pollution in our ocean. Sixtus is studying Arts & Media at NMIT.
