SCOUT-Wawata Hohonu

Lyonel Grant has collaborated with Tim Gruchy, the creator of SCOUT, the 2012 work in Takutai Square that takes a range of environmental data and uses artificial intelligence paridigms to translate that into ever-changing images on a vertical LED screen for Toi Tu Toi Ora’s satellite site at Britomart, Lyonel and Tim have devised SCOUT-Wawata Hohonu , a process that introduces images of Lyonel’s carvings as the foundation of SCOUT’s deep dreaming process.
