TRANSFORMING MINDS

The Len Lye Centre will be the catalyst for this conversation by providing:

PURPOSE-BUILT EDUCATION SPACES for children and youth offering programmes that extend their understanding — of the senses, the physical body, technologies, the moving image and energy — through Len Lye related activities and experiences

An extended range of public engagement programmes involving NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL THINKERS AND ARTISTS — developed for youth, seniors, tertiary students, school students, online visitors and an interested public — to promote debate and understanding about contemporary ideas within the cultural landscape of today and tomorrow

Two INFO LOUNGES offering experiential learning and individually-paced discovery for visitors

DIRECT EXPERIENCE IN IDEAL CONDITIONS WITH LYE'S WORK that provoke visual, audio, visceral and bodily responses to greater understand oneself and the surrounding world

An EXCEPTIONAL DAILY FILM PROGRAMME that increases understanding of how the moving image was first developed and how it has transformed into a powerful everyday experience in contemporary life

"That he conceived magnificent sculptures which he knew could only be built in the 21st century when materials, control systems and engineering expertise would have been developed to enable them, was visionary."
