Te Hunga Wai Tapu: (the group of people for whom water is sacred):  This art project illustrates the principle of Wai, a Maori concept that is best expressed as water or flow.  In the Maori worldview, water or Wai connects people to mountains, rivers, the air and birth.  Wai both contains and exercises power, just as energy can be modeled both as force fields and as moving particles.  The Maori values of respect for nature and sustainable practices aim to ensure that energy flows in ways that are useful and healthful for the planet. This project has an engineering/electronics component where data sensors in New Zealand control audio of traditional Maori and Navajo instruments, heard in Albuquerque. Following Ohms Law, the artists can utilize the ability to resist electrical energy flow as a means to creatively control by simple processor programming, the behavior of elements of an integrated electrical circuit composed of sensors and output modules such as audio and LED. Being able to output data to the internet allows the artists to add an additional modulation in terms of audio output. That has allowed a further layer of creative framework.
