Abstract		Antarctica's isolation and inhospitable nature are considerable barriers to all but the few who can afford the high cost of visiting as a tourist, or to those scientists and support personnel who participate in national Antarctic programs. As a way of informing and educating Australians about Antarctica and Australia's activities there, the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) administers the Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship (formally Australian Humanities Program) enabling those with a non-science focus to experience Antarctica first-hand so that they may communicate this unique experience and understanding to other Australians. The vision of the Australian Antarctic Program is "Antarctica: Valued, Protected and Understood." In line with this the Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship aims to increase Australian and international awareness and appreciation of Antarctica focussing on - the extraordinary and beautiful natural environment and the diverse and hardy animal and plant life it supports; - Antarctica as the site and subject of Australian and international scientific and environmental research; - the small human communities forged on a vast continent of extreme climate and terrain; and - the international treaty history, values, and cooperation that shape Antarctica's geopolitical significance. The Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship aims to foster imaginative and engaging understanding of a scientifically and aesthetically important environment for which all Australians have responsibility but which most will never experience first-hand. The Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship aims to communicate the significance of Australia's activities in Antarctica through the work of people especially gifted in communicating through various media including the visual arts, film-making imaginative writing, education, and music as well as print and broadcast journalism.

science triggers :Finances in the Science Faculty have consolidated this year and the Faculty's position has improved. Staff within the Schools have actively and successfully sought substantial external research funding, primarily from the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology, the Marsden Fund, and from industry.
http://www.marsden.rsnz.org/info/
The Marsden Fund supports research excellence in science, technology, engineering and maths, social sciences and the humanities. Each year, Government provides funding for projects that will foster scholarly research of the highest calibre. This work is not subject to government priorities but enhances New Zealand’s ability to participate in, and benefit from, research of an international standard. Set up in 1994, the Marsden Fund is a contestable fund that has been administered by the Royal Society of New Zealand on behalf of the Marsden Fund Council since 1995.

Turbulence Commission: No Matter 2008

Turbulence Commission: No Matter by Scott Kildall and Victoria Scott (Part of the Mixed Realities exhibition, on view until April 15, 2008) - NO MATTER is an interactive installation that activates the transformation of imaginary objects through the Second Life virtual economy into physical space. Second Life builders construct replicas of famous buildings, luxury goods and custom-designed objects, first reproducing, then inverting the notion of value itself. With zero cost for gathering resources, production of goods and transport of finished product, these items proliferate widely and quickly. Continue reading

Turbulence Commission: Bonding Energy 2007

Turbulence Commission: Bonding Energy by Douglas Repetto and LoVid - Bonding Energy consists of a set of Sunsmile devices [image below] that collect and measure solar energy from seven geographically distributed sites around New York State: Columbia University, NYC; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy; University of Buffalo; Colgate University, Hamilton; free103point9’s Wave Farm, Acra; Experimental Television Center, Owego; and The Redhouse Arts Center, Syracuse. The light energy reaching the Sunsmiles’ solar panels fuels a collaborative real-time data visualization on Turbulence.org [Image above right: Screenshot of visualization]. Continue reading
