SCANZ - Article Written by Helen Varley Jamieson.

it was the first Polar/Solar Circuit event to be held in New Zealand,

aPpRoPiRaTe! - Review by Mark Hancock.
Feeding a movie that you’ve downloaded from a Peer to Peer network, into
aPpRoPiRaTe by Sven König, reveals the nature of the “collaborative”
effort that the image/audio undergoes in the sharing process. Watching
the individual frame sequences on his website, we see how the image is
staggered and broken into 'blocky' difficult to view images. There’s an
aesthetic at work here that feels right in the context of shared content
on the web. What appeals most of all is that the software reminds us of
what movies really are.

Elephants Dream By The Blender Foundation - Reviewer: Rob Myers.
Visually, Elephants Dream is a brooding European social-realist
surrealist fantasy rather than an American Disney-inspired Pixar
fantasy. Bleak mid-20th-century technological landscapes are twisted
into a fantastic realm of vertiginous, deep, dark spaces and vague but
ever-present threats. Flying electrical cables and cthonic telephone
earpieces attack as clockwork birds and self-dictating typewriters watch
on. Proog and Emo walk on robotic footholds across bottomless pits or
argue in front of fragments of a world projected by giant projectors on
tripods that have the air of martian war machines.
