Vivid Sydney
is a huge event showing off the city to the world. And this year one of
the event's major attractions, a light-show over the Opera House, will
be shown for the first time by a New Zealander, director Ash Bolland.
Ash's light installation is called Audio Creatures, described as a
"morphing, mesmeric artwork, set to the music of Brazilian
electronic producer Amon Tobin".

most important decisions a filmmaker has to make is "How much
music to put in?" In New Zealand, the go-to composers these days
are the prolific band The Phoenix Foundation. Their track record speaks
for itself - films like Eagle versus Shark, Boy and Hunt for the
Wilderpeople for Taika Waititi. Simon Morris speaks with the band's
three composers, Sam Scott, Luke Buda, and Conrad Wedde.

The big arts
news this week has been the gigantic event in Venice - the fabled
Biennale. Standing Room Only's Lynn Freeman was there, partly to be
bowled over by New Zealand's contribution -- Lisa Reihana's in Pursuit
of Venus (infected) -- and partly to be knocked out by the amazing art
from the rest of the world.
