Kia ora Marie, thank you for such an eloquent ‘live’ demonstration of the power of images. This suite of curiously beautiful yet sinister imagery speaks so well to the affective intensity of the visual. It also sits as a reminder of the significant responsibility that image-makers have in shaping our personal meaning, knowledge and experience of the world. Thank you for taking us on this journey through, around, above and inside what is on all of our minds. Ngā mihi, Tara Winters (The University of Auckland).

Thank you for an interesting, well researched, engaging and very appropriate Keynote Marie. That made for thought-provoking viewing, and John McGhee and his team's remarkable video was an excellent conclusion.
