About the Centre

Intercreate.org arose from the Solar Circuit Aotearoa New Zealand (SCANZ) residency in 2006. The Centre is project based and consists of an international network of people interested in interdisciplinary creativity. Project foci include interdisciplinary projects, education initiatives and residencies. A trust has recently been formed. Trustees and members are listed at the bottom of this page.

The research centre is curently conducting four projects: the SCANZ residency and symposium; dmap a digital media art education prototype; Haiku robots a robotic art work; and Space_sense a joint Candian-New Zealand residency project.

Curatorial Fellow (International) Nina Czegledy is working with the centre on a joint Canadian-New Zealand residency and exhibition Space_Sense which involves four pairs of artists, one each from Canada and New Zealand.

Interdisciplinary creative projects include Kin of Kandinsky and Haiku robots, robotic art works in collaboration with engineer Andrew Hornblow; and Branch on branch an augmented reality artwork in conjunction with the Human Interface Technology Lab NZ.

Current publication projects include the book on SCANZ by co-organisers Ian M Clothier and Trudy Lane, with contributions from Sally McIntyre and Ken Gregory. There are also two video projects, the first on international Govett-Brewster/ Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki artist in residence Gabriel Kuri, the second is Joselow house a documentary about the New York residential facility, directed by Peter Wareing.

More information on upcoming programming will be available shortly. Until then please contact Ian Clothier or Trudy Lane for any enquiries.
