A space of hybridity can assimilate potentially any set of concepts. SCANZ2013 3rdNature seeks to develop a fresh space, carrying memes from previous SCANZ events (which have all had an emphasis on environment) and other Intercreate projects that have involved scientists, indigenous peoples and artists working together. We are aiming to build new knowledge and establish legacies around this work, unencumbered by old perspectives and distant categories.

We ignore the environmental crisis at our own peril. Integrating the indigenous perspective, creative environmental and scientific views on the environment is essential for continued human habitation of the planet. From these trajectories it is possible to conceive of a fresh hybrid space, composed of overlapping elements.

We ask tangata whenua, artists, technologists, teachers, environmentalists, scientists, philosophers, educationalists, indigenous peoples, technologists and lecturers to contact us with ideas for talks, discussions, presentations, residency projects, exhibition ideas for gallery space and a botanic garden. And to join us on the weekend of January 1st- 3rd, 2013 at a hui to share knowledge and build resources.

Important Dates:
Early expression of interest: February 12, 2012
Residency proposed dates: Saturday 19 January to Monday 4 February,2013

With a state-of-the-art facility on the campus of Rensselaer, with the EMPAC program and the expertise of its staff, and with the resources and talent of Rensselaer’s faculty, students and staff, EMPAC offers an exceptional opportunity for collaboration and development.

The combination of artist-driven content with contemporary media and performing arts technology in the field of time-based arts stands in the center of the artistic research and production activities of EMPAC. The main focus is on the reciprocal influence of the intent and craftsmanship of artists as they create new works, with existing or yet-to-be-developed tools and technology.

EMPAC encourages applications for a wide range of projects, from a diversity of artists, composers, directors, choreographers, and performers of different cultural and geographic backgrounds. EMPAC is open to proposals from all phases of a project, from initial concept to full production.

The goal is to provide an environment to realize works from inception to completion. The resources at EMPAC are laid out to enable such an approach. This means that an EMPAC residency can support works that take a long period of time to develop and that may need different resources at different phases of the production.

Audio Production / Post-Production
EMPAC is an ideal place to record sound, produce multichannel pieces or a 5.1/7.1/10.2 DVD, document works of sound art, master, perform complex mixing for film with several consoles, and any other task involving microphones, speakers, and computers. We encourage applicants who are interested to come to EMPAC for short-term residencies to produce a project in our facility. For this initiative EMPAC may provide housing and technical support, but will not be offering offset stipends.

Video Production / Post-Production
EMPAC’s capacity for video parallels that of audio. It is an ideal location for doing a multi-camera shoot, creating documentation of a performance, working with multichannel video projection, and all aspect of digital post-production for film, video art — any  project that involves HD video cameras, computers, or projectors. Our facility is also ideal for recording live musicians for film scoring. Our venues are all potential locations for sessions of this type, ranging from recording spaces that are acoustically very live (Concert Hall) to a really very large dry studio (Studio 1), each is well suited for soloists or full orchestra (while projecting the film on large screens).
