    WAHAWAEWAO [We Are Here And We Are EveryWhere At Once] VR
    Brown, C ; Scoones, R ; Gibson, R ; Martelli, B (Ars Electronica Festival 2020, 2020)
    WAHAWAEWAO is a Moving Image Installation developed as a VR Mozilla Hub Exhibition for the Ars Electronica Festival 2020 In Kepler's Gardens. Movement and landscape in flux, five figures wander across the landscape of Central Otago. Between the rocks and crevices, they move. The work explores our persistent longing for belonging in an age of virtual travel. Filmed in the raw physical landscapes of Central Otago and the Motion Capture Studio of CoLab AUT in Auckland, it maps between radically different scapes. The consolations of landscape dissolve as fractures and junctures open between the memory and affect of these different atmospheres, altering the performers transit. In this new cartography, that is here and everywhere; their bodies take on the rhythms of an altered place. Tracked in all dimensions, they become trackers, navigating travel to unknown and ungraspable places.

    LungSong Screen Dance
    Brown, C ; Scoones, R ; Jamnikar, N ; Bagheri Nesami, M ; Rubio, E ; Fay, N ; Dobson, W (Wanaka Festival of Colour, 2019)
    From breaching breaths to wild dialects with the clouds, LungSong brings attention and feeling to the scientific labor of climate change research through an activation of relations between bodies, airs, atmospheres and cosmologies. Catalysed by a residency at the Lauder Atmospheric Research Station (NIWA) and meetings with scientists and technicians who are involved in ‘ground truth’ readings and data collection of the changes taking place in our atmosphere due to global warming, LungSong is an eco-feminist response to the temper(ature) of our times. LungSong is an ongoing event of reckoning with the state we are in - responsive and resistive, eruptive and sensing - it is shaped by the living experience of planetary and human breaths and the writings of Luce Irigaray.

    The Five Provocations
    Black, A (Black Eye Films, 2018)
    The Five Provocations is a 94 minute, fictional, magic-realist, ensemble drama feature film that investigates the process of crafting and capturing performance on film. Dr Black wrote, directed and produced the feature film as practice-led research. She examined alternative approaches to film production in response to the research on the mediation of live performance, improvisation as a screenwriting tool and gender disparity in screen media. She determined that when performance is used as an initiator to film development it not only provides a more collaborative process but also enables the ability for more nuanced screen performances. Her findings produced a successful feature film The Five Provocations that demonstrates a working method for working with cast to develop story.

    I Can Feel Ya
    Black, A (ABC TV, 2020)
    I Feel Ya is a three-minute, dance film/music video that investigates the juxtaposition of music and image to explore familiar (largely stereotypical) depictions of older women with fraying mental health on screen. The challenge is to subvert the hero’s journey being gender skewed to a male saviour. In this scene the women who appears to be isolated, alone and vulnerable, possibly suffering from agoraphobia becomes the hero when she lures out a more reclusive male figure from a room in the house. She becomes the saviour.

    Memory Chemistry
    Fletcher, P (Paul Fletcher, 2019-12-05)
    When no figurative narrative content exists in a creative work, different modes of playful engagement or disengagement are left on the "menu" to choose from. Can someone remain immersed in every sensation of movement, light, sound, music and color? Can someone take the opportunity to forget everything for 5 minutes? Or can someone sense, remember and recognize reoccurring and transforming patterns and figures within an apparent chaos? This short film contributes to the field of "visual music", fusing abstract images with sound to create a cohesive audiovisual composition.
