Pick up Styx, 2008

By Raewyn Turner

Raewyn Turner is an Auckland based artist. Her work uses the media of video, light, smell and new technologies for screen, installation, artefacts and live performance, as well as painting. Her concerns are with cross-sensory perception and the uncharted territories of the senses.

While exploring the immediate offerings of the senses she’s particularly interested in the effects of new technologies which are engaged in the development of extrasensory or subsensory awareness. Raewyn’s intersensory art practice is about breaking the boundaries of perception. It includes interpretations, misinterpretations and adjustments made according to intelligent guesses, assumptions, estimations and associations.
