Unlike much previous such SF, recent SF has presented the planets, moons, and asteroids as we now know they are -- no ancient Martian races living near the canals, no Venusian swamps.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Art of District 9 Weta Workshop by Daniel Falconer the Art of District 9: Weta Workshop
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Art of District 9 Weta Workshop by Daniel Falconer The art of District 9: Weta Workshop. 'District 9 is that modern rarity: an adventure thriller that's even better than its advertising campaign.' Telegraph This book illuminates the incredible design process behind this ground-breaking film. Set in Johannesburg, South Africa, District 9 begins as a mock documentary about the imminent eviction of extraterrestrials from a pathetic shantytown (called District 9). Initially received by humans with compassion and care, the aliens are now mired in blighted conditions typical of long-term refugee camps unwanted by a hostile, host society. With their care contracted out to a for- profit corporation, the shantytown has become a violent slum. A provocative science fiction drama, with a powerful message, District 9 boasts an original story and seamless special effects. Now comes a beautiful book that reveals the creative design process behind the film. Detailing two years of interaction between Weta Workshop's artists, the director Neil Blomkamp and multi Academy Award winner Richard Taylor, The Art of District 9 gives an unrivalled glimpse into how it was all put together, shining a spotlight on the intricate creations and artistic processes. Content includes: construction of the creatures and special make-up elements, the alien weapons and special props, armour and custom vehicles and developed the language that defined the film's distinctive alien aesthetic.

This conception of the human focuses on humanist values that project a vision of human exceptionalism into the future. Expanding on Michel Foucault’s definition of neoliberalism, this thesis follows its connection to biotechnology and the transhuman subject created through biotechnological intervention, arguing that the films Limitless (2011), Avatar (2009), and District 9 (2009) depict

  • A HISTORY of NEW ZEALAND SCIENCE FICTION and FANTASY by Simon Litten and Sean Mcmullen
    FANTASTICAL WORLDS AND FUTURES AT THE WORLD'S EDGE: A HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY by Simon Litten and Sean McMullen CHAPTER 7: ARTISTS, COMICS, CRASH COURSES AND THE FUTURE There is a lot more to science fiction, fantasy and horror than novels, stories, films and television series. Comics, artists, musicians, podcasts, audio works, live plays, radio plays, games, re-enactment societies and non-fiction books all contribute to the overall picture, and all of the foregoing are produced in New Zealand. Each of these topics could fill a separate chapter, but deadlines have forced us to provide just a few examples of artists, comics and non-fiction books here. NEW ZEALAND ARTISTS Readers really do, more often than not, judge books by their covers, and New Zealand's artists have produced some very fine work, contributing to the success of many books. This artwork has been honoured in the Sir Julius Vogel Awards in the category of Best Professional Artwork. A selection of winners and their covers follow: Emma Weakley has won the Sir Julius Vogel Award award three times, for Newton’s Sleep (Random Static, 2008) in 2009, Regeneration: Best New Zealand Speculative Fiction (Random Static, 2013) in 2014, and At the Edge (Paper Road Press, 2016) in 2017. Frank Victoria’s cover for Mary Victoria’s Tymon's Flight (Harper Collins, 2010) won the award in 2011, and the following year won again with his cover for Mary Victoria’s Oracle's Fire (Harper Collins, 2011). Les Petersen did the cover for an Australian anthology by New Zealander Simon Petrie, Light Touch Paper, Stand Clear (Peggy Bright Books, 2012), winning him a Vogel in 2013.

Over 150 pieces of artworks will be showcased. The exhibition will feature the fictitious universe of Dr. Grordbort's with a collection of art paintings, sculptures and Raygun props, specially designed and created by Weta Workshop Artist and Designer Mr. Greg Broadmore. The exhibition is fusing pop culture of a bygone era that never happened before, with the innovative imaginations of an amusing artist, to evoke a sense of wonderment, humour and fun for all to enjoy. Mr. Broadmore was the lead conceptual designer on the film District 9, and has also worked on many other Hollywood blockbusters such as King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia, Black Sheep and I, Robot, etc. Mr. Broadmore created and designed the Dr. Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillators, which have been developed as an original line of art collectibles. The Rayguns: Dr. Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillators are a line of 1:1 scale antique styled, sci-fi hand weapon props. With charming, 1900s contraption styling and finish, the rayguns evoke the nostalgia of a lost age of exploration and discovery.
