MOKOTRON: ŌHĀKĪ
animation | black and white | indigenous | maori | music videos | new zealand
MOKOTRON’s track ŌHĀKĪ fuses modern, electronic sounds with Māori tradition. The music video, a collaboration between Simon Ward and James Paratii Lainchbury, features a black-and-white illustration style its creators say fuses “whakairo, horror, and ancient futurism.” The animation reflects MOKOTRON’s mission: imagining a future beyond colonization.
