The Garden welcomes national and international visitors to a cyber-physical environment.Local guests can visit the physical exhibition hosted by the Wellington Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation at VUW in New Zealand’s capital city. International guests can experience the projects in a virtual 3D gallery and through a series of online events.

The exhibition is designed as a bi-directional portal. It allows for both, to host digital content from other Ars Electronica Hubs, and to showcase projects from the New Zealand based contributors. 

The Garden presents performances and prototypical installations. It offers tours through research facilities, visits to cultural sites, and includes a sonic music night hosted by one of Wellington’s famous night clubs.For access to the Ars Electronica Garden Aotearoa and information visit: www.ars.nz
