Fix this textA selection of 50 art works, on
Fix this textthemes ranging from the envi-
Fix this textronment, medical and scientific
Fix this textexploration, through to politics, music and
Fix this texttheatre, are being displayed in the first
Fix this textUNSW acquisitions exhibition at the College
Fix this textof Fine Arts’ Ivan Dougherty Gallery.
Fix this textThe exhibition of works from the UNSW
Fix this textArt Collection, representing more than 30
Fix this textleading Australian artists, was opened by the
Fix this textVice-Chancellor, Professor John Niland, on
Fix this text21 February.
Fix this textArtists represented include Cressida
Fix this textCampbell, James Gleeson, Robert Klippel,
Fix this textFiona McDonald, George Milpurrumi, Jan
Fix this textSenbergs, Imants Tillers and Aida Tomescu.
Fix this textThe exhibition, titled Art at UNSW, is de-
Fix this textsigned to illustrate the new UNSW
Fix this textcollection policy, initiated soon after the
Fix this textuniversity’s first full-time curator, Belinda
Fix this textAllen, took up her post in 1993.
Fix this textThe basis of the new policy is to limit
Fix this textworks collected to those completed by Aus-
Fix this texttralian artists since the university’s
Fix this textfoundation in 1949, particularly by those
Fix this textwho are represented in public collections or
Fix this textwho have received recognition through
Fix this textawards and prizes. It is also intended that
Fix this textworks in the UNSW collection reflect im-
Fix this textportant domains of human knowledge and
Fix this textendeavour.
Fix this textThe exhibition catalogue, written by Ms
Fix this textAllen, outlines the philosophy behind the
Fix this textUNSW Art Collection of about 1,100 works
Fix this textwhich has grown over the years by commis-
Fix this textsion, acquisition and gift.
Fix this textTo recognise the contributions made by U
Fix this textCommittee member, Mrs Jenny Birt, to the
Fix this textUNSW Art Collection, an annual prize will
Fix this textbe awarded bearing her name to a student
Fix this textfrom the College of Fine Arts. Mrs Birt pre-
Fix this textsented the inaugural winner of the prize
Fix this textwith a cheque for $1,500 on the opening
Fix this textn
Fix this textMaster of Art student, Vicki White, won the
Fix this textinaugural award for her work entitled, The

Fix this textoff and later will pursue a Master of Fine Art
Fix this textat COFA

Fix this textSaturday 16 March. The Ivan Dougherty
Fix this textGallery is at the comer of Albion Avenue
Fix this textand Selwyn Street, Paddington.
Fix this textThe exhibition of the paintings in the Jenny

Fix this textLocated at UNSW, the facility is based on a
Fix this textSilicon Graphics Power Challenge high per-
Fix this textformance computer.
Fix this textPartners in the facility are UNSW and the
Fix this textAustralian Defence Force Academy, New-
Fix this textcastle, Sydney and Wollongong universities,
Fix this textthe Queensland University of Technology,
Fix this textthe Australian National University, the Uni-
Fix this textversity of Technology Sydney and Charles
Fix this textSturt University.
Fix this textThe new facility will be used for a range of
Fix this textacademic and commercial research
Fix this textprojects. It has been funded by the universi-
Fix this textties and the Australian Research Council.
Fix this text“Our mission is to develop a major process-
Fix this texting and analysis facility for remote sensing
Fix this textand CIS,” Professor Trinder, Head of School
Fix this textof Geomatic Engineering told Uniicen.
Fix this text“None of the partners could have estab-
Fix this textlished such a facility on their own. By
Fix this textworking together we have been able to pool
Fix this textour funding, and will now be able to share
Fix this textour expertise and experiences, as well as the
Fix this textinformation and computing power neces-
Fix this textsary to carry out large projects,” he said.
Fix this textWhile the Silicon Graphics Power Chal-
Fix this textlenge and a Silicon Graphics Indy server are
Fix this textlocated at UNSW, each of the other partners
Fix this texthas a Silicon Graphics Indy 3D graphics
Fix this textworkstation which is networked to the
Fix this textPower Challenge.
Fix this text“You don’t get a $2 million facility like this
Fix this textwithout support from industry and we are
Fix this textgrateful to Silicon Graphics and Leica, and
Fix this textthe software suppliers for their help in estab-
Fix this textlishing such a valuable centre,” Deputy
Fix this textVice-Chancellor (Research and Interna-
Fix this texttional), Professor Chris Fell said.
Fix this text“Proposed projects to be undertaken at the
Fix this textAustralian facility cover rural and urban
Fix this textapplications.”
Fix this textProjects include the building of fire predic-
Fix this texttion models and modelling of soil moisture
Fix this textfor the farming industry, and to model traf-
Fix this textfic patterns for urban planning, Professor
Fix this textTrinder said. Geomatic Engineering is al-
Fix this textready working on a project for the National
Fix this textParks and Wildlife Service.
Fix this text“We are monitoring the extent of the
Fix this textwetlands in the Murray Darling Basin, Dr
Fix this textAndrew Skidmore, a Senior Lecturer in CIS,
Fix this textsaid.
Fix this text“The wetlands are changing as a result of
Fix this textfarming and the diversion of water. We are
Fix this texttaking multiple full-scene Landsat images.
Fix this textlinking them and then classifying the
Fix this textwetland areas. Ultimately the maps we
Fix this textbuild will be posted on the Internet where
Fix this textthey can be accessed by councils and other
Fix this textpeople interested in the wetlands,” Dr
Fix this textSkidmore said.
