The third day of Guerrilla Talks got to a start with managing editor Olivier Krischer in conversation with Indonesian artist Arahmaiani, who discussed her environmental project with Tibetan monks in Yushu. Professor Jeffrey Shaw, dean of the School of Creative Media at Hong Kong's City University, spoke about his early experiments with expanded cinema and participatory art, as well as SCM's cutting edge virtual reality resources. Australian artist Cameron Robbins described how he uses wind and wave energy, for example, to make drawings and videos, via complicated drawing machines that respond to their environments. Steven Aishman from SCAD elaborated how the school's Hong Kong location has forged creative bridges to the local community. Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Elizabeth Ann MacGregor, explained her efforts to make art more a part of the city's life, which has included negotiating sponsorship to make entry free, and of course the museum's recent significant renovations.
