Experimental interfaces and interaction design
Philip Dean’s exhibition of photography, starting on 12.1.
January 7th, 2010Philip Dean’s exhibition of photography, Long White Cloud 12-22.1.2010 Media Centre LUME gallery
Long White Cloud is a new exhibition of photographs by photographer Philip Dean. Dean spent 5 months in New Zealand during early 2009 as part of a sabbatical leave from his position as Professor and Director of the Media Lab TaiK. During January-May Dean travelled widely in the distant country which is known especially, these days, as a land of film locations for fantasy movies. In reality the modern landscape of New Zealand is the result of millions of years of isolated evolution, extreme geological and climatic conditions, as well as the destruction and exploitation of its virgin environment by European settlers during the last 200 years. The modern New Zealand ‘natural landscape’ is the source of fascination for the exhibition’s main series of large format color prints. The images depict both the famous grand vistas of South Island as well as places of strange beauty, created through the concerted efforts of the pioneers in taming the land.
