Artist Statement
Ancestral time in Mangaian cosmology is a multifaceted interwoven continuum where time is space. The fabric of this universe extends from energetic substrates to material manifestations. Within this universe multiple realms co-exist and interconnect through a generative process. Mangaian lineage descends from as we connect to our tupuna through gene-archeological matter, where the past is made present in our genetic material. This video work explores this understanding through the generation of digital artwork.
About the artists
Nooroa Tapuni is an interdisciplinary artist that seeks to derive a correlation between seemingly disparate knowledge sets to unfold power relations. Their past projects posited an indigenous understanding of interconnection as a cybernetic system, a relationship of communication and control, through interactive digital art practice. It did so as a way to explore the extent that digital material can be the interface for intuitive understanding and indigenous knowledge. Current interests include the ambiguity of communication through transcoding material.
