Kiwi ingenuity

...comes in many forms. It's something else to celebrate. If you haven't yet visited the Pallet Pavilion on corner of Durham and Kilmore Streets, let me recommend that you get there very soon.

Populate! update #28 (The Imagination Playground)

Looks good enough to eat, but it's even better to play with. Bring the kids along this weekend to the Populate! party outside C1 Espresso and let them get all constructive with The Imagination Playground. (Thanks IAG and The Dowse Art Museum!)

Populate! update #27 (Night visions)

Enlarging the circuit of nocturnal Populate! works (see also Steve Carr's Majo on Worcester Boulevard, Tony Oursler's flickering Incandescence on Madras Street, and the awesome Oursler gallery headbutt blogged by Felicity this morning), here's Ronnie's Comin' Down wearing its new nocturnal colours. Think holograms, night vision goggles, ectoplasm, little (or big) green men, and Martian beams descending from the big dark Canterbury skies. (Thanks Chris Pole for these photos.)
