Urban Life by Test Tube Television and Storybox by Dnation Creative, both night-time digital installations, are the final acts in this year’s series of temporary visual and performing art
installations.

Arts, Community and Recreation Committee chairperson, Councillor Greg Moyle, says the Living Room series aims to enliven the central city’s public spaces and encourage people to discover the vibrant sights and sounds of the CBD.

“The creative installations appear unexpectedly in various locations around the CBD, each one grabbing

Do you need work done in the UK? Producing, researching, shooting, editing - just about anything you need I can help you with.

I have experience working in longer form current affairs as well as daily news and have worked with broadcasters and journalists such as Cameron Bennett, Janet McIntyre, Jackie Maher, Susan Wood, Paul Holmes, Mike McRoberts and Mark Sainsbury.

Early this year I moved to London after 14 years with TVNZ during which time I was a camera operator for News and Current Affairs, field producer on Sunday and 20/20 Programmes and most recently line up producer on Close Up.

Since arriving in the UK I have continued with my work in television - producing for Aljazeera, Country Calendar, Sunday, One News and Close Up as well as filming and editing stories.

If you need work done over here or know someone who does I have a very reasonable rate and negotiate a price based on what the job is rather than hours worked.

You can get in contact with me either on my UK mobile +44(0)7876763932 or by email - briar.mccormack@btinternet.com.
