In M\u0101ori mythology, there are twelve heavens, each with its own series of heavenly bodies; <i>Tahu-nui-a-rangi <\/i>(represented in the right panel) is the uppermost of the twelve heavens and the most sacred of them all. The left panel, <i>Taha-o-te-rangi<\/i>, represents a Maori tale which proclaims: \u201c<em>Ko Kahukura r\u0101ua ko T\u016b\u0101whiorangi, he atua \u0113n\u0101, t\u014d r\u0101ua matua ko te imurangi e mau mai n\u0101 i te <b>taha o te rangi<\/b>\u201d. <\/em>It translates as<em> \u201c<\/em>Kahukura and T\u016b\u0101whiorangi, those are atua and their father is the fragmentary rainbow that is held on the edge of the heavens\u201d. These are design solutions being researched and imagined today by academics and artists at Victoria University Faculty of Architecture and Design. These visions of MachineTime and NatureTime are shared with Wellington\u2019s residents and visitors as new approaches to the perception of our world around us.<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledgements: <em>Tahu-Nui-A-Rangi<\/em> was created in Adobe After Effects (Trapcode Particular), and it was donated for\u00a0 viewing in the Wellington Light Boxes, Cobblestone Park. The intention was to bring even more magic and light to the wonderful, illuminated community of Wellington and its many visitors. It owes everything to the incredible online tutorials and designs provided by Voxyde, SonduckFilm and others, who offer their inspirational designs to be used as teaching tools for others to learn from and build upon.
