We Lit Up New Zealand Nature With Artificial Bioluminescence

In this video, we explored the Polynesian symbolism of Mana: the life-force energy that exists within all nature. This was done by visualizing the life-force of Mana as artificially created bioluminescence growing and glowing through New Zealand forests.

These organic forms were filmed in real-time, with glowing visuals made possible with a projector, light form and an outdoor generator.

In Maori mythology, some tribes tried to enhance their own Mana. One’s Mana could also be lost due to harmful deeds.

If Mana is present in every living thing, then it’s our personal interpretation that respecting nature is a way to invite more Mana into your life, and a careless attitude towards our native flora is a sure way to lose it.
