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.

About SCANZ
Solar Circuit Aotearoa New Zealand (SCANZ) is New Zealand’s premier art and technology event and involves a symposium, artist residency, and public exhibition. It occurs every two years, and has typically involved a mix of Aotearoa New Zealand and international artists, producers, theorists and curators many of whom are leading practitioners. Held in New Plymouth, SCANZ 2011 will be the third event.

SCANZ 2011: Eco sapiens
A symposium followed by a residency is to be held late January to early February 2011 in New Plymouth, Aotearoa New Zealand. It seeks to bring a range of knowledge groups together to investigate the cultural roots of climate change and seek out poetically pragmatic approaches to encouraging the cultural and behavioural shifts required. Initial expressions of interest are due 21 November, 2009. Please see here for more details.
SCANZ 2009 international participants included Nina Czegledy, Brett Stalbaum, Sally Jane Norman, Jacques Sirot, Sarah Cook, Andrew Gryf Paterson, Dan Torop, Melinda Rackham and Dominic Smith of The Polytechnic. Participants based in New Zealand included Lisa Reihana, Stella Brennan, Sean Kerr, Rachel Rakena, Natalie Robertson, Danny Butt, Herman Pi’ikea Clarke, Alex Monteith, Naomi Lamb, Caro McCaw, Jon Bywater, Julian Priest (UK/NZ) and many others.
Occurring along side the 2009 residency was a two day symposium (February 7 and 8), presentation evening & exhibition (opened February 7), and curatorial workshop.
