Joseph Michael

About

Joseph Michael is a New Zealand-born media artist working in large-scale projection, photogrammetry and immersive installation. His work places the natural world at its true scale inside cities — a life-size iceberg on the Auckland War Memorial Museum, and on the United Nations Secretariat in New York ahead of the 2019 Climate Action Summit.

He is co-director of the Art Science Lab and an Edmund Hillary Fellow. He spoke at TEDxAuckland in 2014. He now works between Sydney and New Zealand.
