Digital Art Live is pleased to present Roosting, an interactive exhibition by Kim Newall.

Roosting is the evolution of “Urban Life” where two birds perched on the back of the old Odeon Cinema on Lorne Street in 2008. This interactive installation enabled the birds to respond to passers-by and these birds gave birth to baby birds.

In Roosting the birds have now come to occupy the real space of the Aotea Centre. They are aware of their physical environment and they respond accordingly. Watch out, they could inhabit a space near you!

The creatures in this work have evolved from the processes that exist in different media, including drawing, animation, interactive video and robots. The creatures are a hybrid of real and virtual and they are beginning to develop their own independence and their own identity.

Kim Newall is a multimedia artist living and working in Auckland, who uses traditional and new media with an interest in building a conversation between these two modes of artistic expression. His process is a flow from the hand drawn or painterly into the digital and back again; through this process the boundaries of digital and hand drawn become obscured and both media are reinvented.

Kim is a lecturer on the Bachelor of Creative Technologies programme, and the co-ordinator of CoLab’s Interactive Suite at AUT University.

CoLab (AUT University’s creative technologies research centre) and THE EDGE (Auckland’s centre for national and international performing arts and entertainment) are working collaboratively to present Digital Art Live, an exciting new initiative to showcase digital and interactive visual art in an interactive space.

Held in the Owens Foyer, Aotea Centre, THE EDGE.
