Here we are on our 12th day of blogging! Hope you have all enjoyed what the week has brought and have time today to catch the last few remaining workshops and presentations to cap off your experience.
Pecha Kucha was great last night, it was a bit of a fiesta with stilt workers and a traditional drum band to start off proceedings. There is so much talent in Hamilton and as the organiser said may there be many more Pecha Kucha evenings to come.
The event was all rather exclusive and transformed the appearance of the events room in the hub! It is great that Spark08 brought the first one to Hamilton, beginning a tradition.
Yesterday lunchtime, our special guest was installation artist Rikrit Tiravanija who joined us for a talk that was well attended. We also heard from our ex-graduates and what they had accomplished since leaving tech. It was a relaxing beginning to a big night at Pecha Kucha.
Today we have installation/painting and then type in the morning. Check out type designer KLIM’s article on the links list to get a greater insight into this speaker.
Wintec students worked on a ‘dragons den’ style show earlier this year entitled ‘Show Me the Money”. Hope you all come along at 1.30 to see the premiere screening and support the students!
Afternoon concludes with Susan Jacobs (installation), Scott Miles (painting) and Whirimako Black (musician) workshops. That is all then topped off with a music showcase that moves into the night.
Whirimako Black will sing at the Museum at 5.30pm and then at 9pm- DJ Coco Solid and Robyn entertain us at the Flow Bar on Victoria Street.
See Spark08 out in style and indulge in a bit of arts+ music to start your weekend.
