Passion Projects
I create in a few guises, with my digital media project “Kae Zars From Mars” premiering at the 2024 New Zealand, Melbourne and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals.
It explored Artificial Intelligence (AI), colonisation, Guy Debord’s ‘The Society of The Spectacle‘ theory and Creative Commons media’s potential. Read more here.

I have worked extensively with the reclamation of digitised illustrations in the Public Domain via collage, specifically focusing on materials of Māori imagery.

You may even find me performing some stand-up comedy and poetry (Runner-up in the 2024 Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara) Raw Poetry Slam #HumbleBrag).
