Awash was a short performance involving the audience. Re-enacting the former tideline audience-performers created a human wave as they crossed the street back and forth ten times. 
Set at the point of high tide (now several hundred metres away due to land reclamation in the 1930s) walkers were accompanied by sound effects of the beach through dialing an 0800 number.

Awash was presented in QUBIT performance art festival, and hosted at the Anteroom Port Chalmers. Audio created by Leyton Glen.

The works were collected under the event name ‘Intertidal’ and were presented two hours either side of low tide.

*The Picnic* was an site-specific art event spanning 4 locations over 4 hours in October 2000. Over 70 artists and designers presented new works, with a live MUD connecting artists and audiences. *The Picnic* employed the theme of a temporarily emplaced social event to trace new psychogeographies between and within public spaces and art practices in New Zealand and an emerging digital awareness.

in 2002 a book and CD with music and animations was launched at ARC Cafe in Dunedin, with an associated event *The Picnic International Party*. Images here are from the book showing work by Douglas Kelaher, Layla Rudneva-Mackay, Penny Hagen, Regan Gentry.
