Pou Rewa: The Liquid Post, Maori Go Digital?

Art that uses non‐traditional media and emerging technologies, specifically the electronic or digital, has the potential to create and nurture a distinctive public space for the articulation of alternative Maori world‐views.

This essay contextualises the author’s research in the wider framework of Maori digital art and seeks to explain a Maori creative practice.
