Greetings folks,  If you haven't heard it on the grapevine, and if 
you're not amongst the small percentage of 'box' owners, then who knows 
about NewArtlands?  screened weekly on Sunday and Wednesday nights on 
TVNZ's new digital channel 6, the arts series where individual artists 
or collectives are invited to interact with communities of one sort or 
another to produce an artwork for television. The series have already 
clocked up half a dozen intruiging projects from the likes of Ronnie 
Van Hout, Raised by Wolves, Michael Tuffery (an audio installation) and 
others.
The upside if you don't own a box, is that you can stream any programme 
an hour or so after its gone to air, free of charge via 
<www.tvnzondemand.co.nz> .
This week for your amusement on NewArtlands;  BREATH OF WIND, a project 
by Phil Dadson in collaboration with the Levin Brass Band and the hot 
air balloon community. A TV-Spaceman production directed by John Hagen 
& fronted by the inimitable Chris Knox,  8.30pm, Sundays and 
Wednesdays, or at anytime via TVNZ on demand.
