Kereama Taepa | Wānanga NFT

Nau mai e te whānau ki tō tātou wānanga e whai ake nei, I’m amped for our next Blockchain Navigators wānanga with the Mando himself: Kereama Taepa. Kereama has been working in the digital art space as both an artist and as a teacher for over a decade. He’s passionate about exploring new and emergent technologies and how they relate to te ao Māori. This interest encompasses everything from Virtual Reality to Augmented Reality, Whakapī (3D Printing), Te Ao Matihiko (Digital), Te Ao Mariko (Virtual) Whekehiko (Digital Printing) and more. In our wānanga we will deep dive into: The whakapapa of this digital space, ko wai ngā atua o te ao Tātai Waehere? Who are the atua of this space and how do we relate and engage with them?

What are they saying, what is the art about, what does it mean? Intellectual Property and Appropriation of art
