<div><font face="Verdana" size="-1" color="#000000">The concept of a
third space - a zone of hybridity - traverses the cultural landscape
from the writing of Homi Bhabba in the mid 1990s, to Sony advertising
(see hypertext.rmit.edu.au/d ac/papers/meguire.pdf). Hybridity is now
embedded in creative and cultural production and
consumption.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font face="Verdana" size="-1" color="#000000">A space of
hybridity can assimilate potentially any set of concepts. SCANZ2013
3rdNature seeks to develop a fresh space, carrying memes from previous
SCANZ events (which have all had an emphasis on environment) and other
Intercreate projects that have involved scientists, indigenous peoples
and artists working together. We are aiming to build new knowledge and
establish legacies around this work, unencumbered by old perspectives
and distant categories.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font face="Verdana" size="-1" color="#000000">We ignore the
environmental crisis at our own peril. Integrating the indigenous
perspective, creative environmental and scientific views on the
environment is essential for continued human habitation of the planet.
>From these trajectories it is possible to conceive of a fresh hybrid
space, composed of overlapping elements.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font face="Verdana" size="-1" color="#000000">We ask tangata
whenua, artists, technologists, teachers, environmentalists,
scientists, philosophers, educationalists, indigenous peoples,
technologists and lecturers to contact us with ideas for talks,
discussions, presentations, residency projects, exhibition ideas for
gallery space and a botanic garden. And to join us on the weekend of
January 1st- 3rd, 2013 at a hui to share knowledge and build
resources.</font><br>

</b>This is a call for project concepts for the fourth SCANZ residency
to be held in New Plymouth, New Zealand early in 2013. Planned
are: a two week residency and Open Lab beginning with a one night stay
over at historic Owae marae, an exhibition at Puke Ariki museum, four
projects in a local botanic garden, a Pecha Kucha night and a three
day symposium with a presentation evening on the middle night.<br>
<br>
<b>3rd NAURE THEMES<br>
</b>This project involves creativity and innovation at the
intersection of three critical interfaces:<br>
*Acknowledging the environmental crisis<br>
*Engaging with Maori and indigenous peoples<br>
*Engaging the Sciences and Hybrid Arts<br>
<br>
These three intersecting dialogues together provide space for a 3rd
Nature, a fresh space for engaging with new knowledge and approaches
vital to a sustainable civilisation.</font><br>

<b>3rd Nature application process<br>
</b>A two-stage process will be used. The first involves developing a

The residency will also involve an Open Lab, for residency
participants to share and collaborate (interested members of the
public are welcome). At this time two workshops are proposed, one
involving low cost electronics, and second involving wind powered
art.<br>
