Mata Ariki x Soulace

Mata Ariki x Solace is the portrayal of stars that make up the cluster known as Matariki.

Soulace is wordplay, a perceptive modern overlay of how we as people look to the past, our history, our culture and our language, resulting in emotions that comfort in self awareness / knowledge.

A digital piece based upon two ongoing series 'of Old Gods & new Gods' and Matariki / Mata Ariki (commonly known as the Maori new year).

'of Old Gods & New Gods' is the reinterpretation and re-emergence of old gods (culture, religion, language) mutually with the new Gods (internet, social networks, new technologies).

A collective digital work mixed together with VR, offline 3d render and real-time engine rendering.
