Jordan Geiger's Day for Night, part of Who's On First? / What's On Second? is a "robotic exoskeleton that slowly alters the space in which it is installed." It will premiere at the 01SJ Festival in June. Friday, March 14, Geiger has co-curated with Alison Sant the exhibition Vapor at Southern Exposure.

The show will feature a survey of new art, architecture and design that takes our declining air quality as the subject matter, medium and metaphor for creative work. Often inspired by forms of activism, the works react to the sources of climate change through the use of technologies - sensors, databases, and communications equipment - that are only recently accessible outside a lab. In this sense, the show's title also refers to the growing means by which this art is being produced, in addition to the ubiquity of greenhouse gases and other air conditions that serve as this art's medium. Vapor proposes new ways of modeling, testing and finding solutions to the problems of air quality and greenhouse gas emissions.

Artist Adam Nash's Ways to Wave will be presented at the 2nd Biennial 01SJ Global Festival of Art on the Edge. For the Superlight exhibition at the festival, Nash is developing an immersive audiovisual virtual sculpture in Second Life that uses a beautiful realworld physical controller.

Take a tour of this much-discussed cultural phenomenon with Australia’s first artists in residence in Second Life - new media artist, composer, programmer, performer and writer Adam Nash and graphic designer, web developer and new media artist Chris Dodds.

Adam Nash and collaborator Chris Dodds will be giving a tour of their work Thursday, 27 March 2008, 6pm, at the Screen Pit.

FUSE:_ conversation is a series of lectures presented by nominated and commissioned artists as part of their candidacy for FUSE: collaboration. The participants will be presenting overviews of their past projects and works with a specific focus on how their artistic practice might engage with the residency structure. Emphasizing collaboration, the artists will speak about how they would explore the opportunities for partnership offered by the residency.

Joyce Hinterding and David Haines present a new piece, Black Canyon and Earth Field in the 01SJ Biennial Superlight exhibtion.

Hinterding's Aeriologoy was recently present at the AV Festival 08.

Aeriology could be described in terms of a project for an unfolding of the ethereal. Twenty kilometers of copper wire wrap the Reg Vardy Gallery to form an energy gatherer, one where form in the nature of a coil expands the possibilities for an art concerned with lines, flows and folds. These harmonising coils reveal unseen activity through sympathetic amplification.

Kota Ezawa, whose new work will be exhibited in Superlight at the San Jose Museum of Art, has work in Photography on Photography: Reflections on the Medium since 1960 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art April 8 - October 19, 2008.
