STELLA BRENNAN and SU BALLARD (eds), 2008.
A comprehensive anthology, The Aotearoa Digital Arts Reader provides a snapshot of digital art practice in Aotearoa New Zealand with essays, artists’ pageworks and personal accounts that explore the production and reception of digital art.
Founded on long waves of settlement from the Pacific and beyond, Aotearoa New Zealand retains tensions between the indigenous and the imported – on the one hand obsessed with defining identity and maintaining biosecurity, and on the other, free of tariffs and trade restrictions and welcoming of foreign investment.
The ADA Network presented Cloudland, a showcase of New Zealand artists for ISEA 2008 in Singapore. Curated by Su Ballard, Stella Brennan and Zita Joyce the exhibition featured film, video, installation, and sound works by Len Lye, et al., Stella Brennan, Alex Monteith, Kentaro Yamada, Bruce Russell, PSN Electronic and Adam Willetts.
