2003 DIGITAL ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Annie Bradley
The department of Screen and Media studies at Waikato University announces the first of
its Digital Artists in Residence for 2003.
Annie Bradley is an Auckland-based artist. She has been working in the area of video / sound and
sculpture, using a range of media from latex and paper to video and digital animation for the last
eight years, exhibiting her work nationally and overseas. She completed her Masters in Fine Arts
(First Class Honours) in 2002.
Her interests include animal trace patterns as a kind of language, the way chemicals effect
the brain/body to create new mappings, new patterns of behaviour and current scientific and
technological knowledge.
In her most recent Installation work Lucid Interval, she as the starting point an A4 piece
of paper that had been shredded by snails, this was scanned and used as the basis for a Digital
animation.
Annie Bradley will be using the resources of the University to generate a new installation work
based on questions about how language is acquired and how it operates. The installation will
manipulate texts through internet translation services multiple times, like a game of 'Chinese
Whispers. "This process of folding language has a parallel to the Origami I'm making, there is
a crease pattern or blueprint for each design, but with language it's mysterious, we can't
find it."
Supported by Waikato University and Creative New Zealand, the Digital Artist in Residence programme
reflects the Screen and Media's Department's strong critical and creative focus on the media of
the twenty-first century.
