#### 30 under 30 Exhibition Series

2022's second 30/30 exhibitor is former Architecture graduate Liam Sheehan. The Wellington School of Architecture Alumni’s work uses the tools of Virtual Reality to create symbiotic environments that engage the human thermosensory (ability to feel temperature changes), and visual and auditory systems to understand the relationship between our bodies and the spaces we inhabit.

Experience’ began for Liam with a love for the weightless sensory experience of swimming. His research took that affinity and started to question how multi-sensory experiences affect the human perception of space and how we can experience the medium of space parallel to the way we experience the medium of movement, propulsion and immersion in water.

Experience breaks down the human sensory system to better understand our bodies' connection with space itself. Through the application of coding, architectural design methods and the constantly expanded wealth of knowledge about the sensory system, Liam began to develop the final design which aimed to create a unique meditative sensory experience; in which the qualities of the virtual space itself began to reveal themselves.

Liam's work will be in the Te Aro window gallery from April 1st - 20th.

Dr Leon Gurevitch showcases astrophotography in the Wellington City Council Cobblestone Lightboxes, with images taken in dark sky reserves across Aotearoa.

Te Whānau Mārama

Aotearoa is home to some of the best dark sky reserves in the world. This exhibition showcases portrait astrophotographs from iconic landmarks and areas around Te-Whanganui-A-Tara and Te Waiponamu.

Te Whānau Mārama, literally translates to Family of Light, and refers to celestial bodies – the sun, moon, stars and constellations, as well as phosphorescent light. Successful astrophotography must find balance between capturing the multifaceted lights of our galaxy and trying to minimise the impacts of pervasive artificial phosphorescent light. Careful consideration is given to the locations of Dark Sky reserves, so that sky gazers can see the light of the galaxy unimpeded by industrial scale illumination and pollution.

As well as showcasing large photographic prints, this exhibition uses site maps, galaxy orientations and photographic technical context to show audiences just how close sites of astrophotographic experience are to Wellington. One of these sites is Wairarapa, which has recently become a designated dark sky reserve. Dr Gurevitch aims to create public awareness of these incredible locations while providing an inspiring visual experience.

These Lightbox arrangements use backlight to bring low-light images to life and are best viewed at night. The Lightbox works are displayed in conjunction with the large-scale landscape images exhibited in Te Aro Window Gallery on Dunlop Terrace in May 2023. This photographic collection overlaps with Astrodata: a data visualisation project in collaboration with Yale University Lens Media Lab.

Te Wāhanga Waihanga-Hoahoa—Wellington Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation is proud to partner with the Wellington City Council to activate the Cobblestone Lightboxes with visual creative research and art practices from academic staff and postgraduate students at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington.

A similar large-scale astrophoto by Dr Gurevitch is also exhibited on glass at Te Herenga Waka's Rutherford House.

View these works in the Cobblestone Park lightboxes on Vivian Street, Te Aro.
