He pīriti mai i te Ao Matihiko ki Te Ao Māori. In the project The Spaces Between us, 2022, Toronto, a global indigenous-led project explores how digital and new media art, created through innovative workshops and symposia, might create new paradigms for indigenous community engagement.

Vector
Becca Weber, Joanna Cook, Danielle Lottridge | 2024 | Mixed Interactive | New Zealand

The work utilises avatars and custom-built audio-visual effects to emphasise embodied attention, presented through a 360 VR video and an immersive participatory installation. Vector 360 is a six-minute VR film offering viewers an 'inside out' perspective on dance creation, challenging traditional viewing habits. Accompanying the film is Vector: Interact, an installation encouraging participation through real-time responsive technology. Here, participants create their own choreography, guided by embodied awareness, and observe the digital effects they generate on a projected screen
