Since 2020, the Ars Electronica Garden Aotearoa has been New Zealand’s contribution to the International Ars Electronica Festival. It is a bi-directional portal to visit the creative and emerging technology scene of the South Pacific, assembling selected projects from New Zealand’s technologists, artists and university researchers.
The arc/sec Lab at the University of Auckland (UoA) and the Digital Architecture Research Alliance (DARA) at the Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) are proud to organize a selection of four projects from the New Zealand exhibition to be showcased at this year’s Ars Electronica Festival.

The XR Tumor Evolution Project (XRTEP) applies extended reality technology to a real-world cancer research problem. It is enabled by a rare inter-disciplinary collaboration between the School of Architecture and Planning, the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, and Centre for EResearch at the University of Auckland.
Biographies
The arc/sec Lab for Cyber-Physical Design and Interactive Systems is based at the University of Auckland. The Lab explores real time Reactive Architecture through the fusion of digital information and physical constructions. The arc/sec team works in different constellations and across diverse disciplines. Large-scale prototypes and installations at the Lab are the starting point for both the development of practice-oriented applications and a speculation on the future of our built environment.
DARA (Digital Architecture Research Alliance) is a research platform that takes its roots from the emerging and computable patterns of cities and cultures to lead spatial design towards a multi-dimensional and -nodal integration. DARA, located at the Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand collaborates with digital instruments and designers to lead people-focused spatial design for a liveable future environment.
