MOTAT - Energy projection wall for Te Puawānanga Science and Technology Centre

MOTAT Museum of Transport and Technology Auckland

Info

In collaboration with MOTAT, we developed an elegant 20 min animated looping projection wall representing renewable energy resources in Aotearoa, as a part of their new Te Puawānanga Science and Technology Centre. A large-scale atmospheric wall projection takes visitors through depictions of solar, wind, hydro and geothermal energy - and the atua that govern each energy.

Projection Stills

Mātauranga Māori (via MOTAT guidance) was an integral part of the process. Key pattern illustrations were created by Huriana Kopeke-Te Aho. As the projection moves through each natural resource element characteristics of particular Atua (ancestors with continuing relevance) reveal themselves through associated patterns and animation.
