Dunedin is being reinvented this weekend. The 2013 Aotearoa Digital Artists symposium has brought artists to the heart of the city to redefine its art.
The eighth annual symposium, ''Space: Network: Memory'', features panels, talks and art installations by New Zealand and international digital artists and academics which re-examine the contemporary city and its networks and memories.
''The idea of a transitional city emerged from what happened in Christchurch and how it is impacting on the rest of the country,'' Aotearoa Digital Artists symposium project manager Vicki Smith, of Hari Hari, said.
''All cities are transitional. You have that happening here in Dunedin at the moment with the historic warehouse precinct, which is an area businesses are moving back into and enlivening again.''
The first featured artist, Birgit Bachler (28), of Knittelfeld, Austria, has installed her di4lo9 artwork at Turboweb in Vogel St. The symposium runs until tomorrow.
