Extinction or adaptation? Evolution or Revolution? What are we facing? The complexity and urgency of the crises of today calls for us to engage together in new ways. Deep shifts in our consciousness may be required for long-term cultural changes to occur.

Treaty issues seem to be growing increasingly more complex. There is a risk that in appeasing past wrongs new problems are created.

You say the treat protects Maori rights to treasures, but my reading of it is that it protects Hapu rights (Rangatiratanga) not Maori. How do you reconcile Hapu needs vs Iwi needs. Traditionally Iwi had little influence, but treaty settlements appear Iwi focussed and the radio spectrum settlement deals with “Maori”, a group that has no traditional basis. In addition Pakeha feel excluded from the settlement process.

If these settlements are supposed to be a basis for moving forwards it is vital that all NZers feel involved. While recognising indigenous needs is important, to do so to the detriment of the country serves no one well. The path forward needs to be defined. At present there is such a huge range of beliefs in what “honouring the Treaty” means that I believe it is impossible to reach accord.

Grant Corbishley, a senior lecturer and coordinator of the Collaborative Projects courses at WelTec in Wellington, shares his thoughts on the last few days of the residency, and the symposium which followed.

Exhibition – atmos: weather as media

An exhibition by Janine Randerson

Within the persistent hum of atmos, we are now also hearing the increasingly clear message of a shifting climate. atmos gathers artists working at the borders of science, technology and ecology. The exhibition presents a selection of international and New Zealand artists who incorporate aspects of the weather directly into their practices, drawing attention to the agency of unpredictable natural phenomena. These are artists working at the borders of science, technology and ecology: some use weather in their art-making process.

“All paradises, all utopias are designed by who is not there, by the people who are not allowed in.” Toni Morrison ( Online NewsHour interview, Mar. 9, 1998) At some point networked computers made our lives better. But equally, it is worth questioning the role they play in the construction of our societies, our economies, our education and our culture.

Can TV really connect the world? Paik’s vision of television was far from Orwell’s, rather than the tools of oppression Paik foresaw a global environment of telethons, reality TV, and artistic experimentation. His was a utopian dream of the coming together of the technosocial environment.
