Description: The National New Media Art Award is Australia's most significant prize for new media art. It showcases the dynamic and evolving nature of new media art practice and the diversity of forms and ideas explored by Australian artists today. The 2012 Award publication features new and recent works by short-listed artists Kirsty Boyle (Qld), Karen Casey (Vic), Robin Fox (Vic), Ian Haig (Vic), Leah Heiss (Vic), George Poonkhin Khut (NSW), Ross Manning (Qld), and the collaboration of Petra Gemeinboeck and Rob Saunders (NSW). Richly illustrated, and including full artist biographies, National New Media Art Award 2012 features works ranging from motion-controlled musical instruments and adapted medical apparatus to generative technologies and robotics, as well as a light installation based on colour mixing principles, which are central to digital image reproduction and projection-based technologies.
Notes: "This program which began in 2008, was conceived as a series of three biennial exhibitions, making this the final instalment."--Page 5.
