The image above is of the animated chart of Te Taiao Maori - the Maori universe - according to Dr Te Huirangi Waikerepuru. It was projected inside the gallery of the Sacredd Mat of Taranaki, Puke Ariki Library Museum as part of SCANZ2013.

3rd nature involves creativity and innovation at the intersection of three critical interfaces:
*Acknowledging the environmental crisis;
*Engaging with Maori and indigenous peoples;
*Engaging with Sciences and the Hybrid Arts

These three intersecting dialogues provide space for a Third Nature, a fresh space for engaging with new knowledge and approaches vital to a sustainable civilisation.

SCANZ 2013 3rd nature was the fourth residency based event held since 2006. All have had a residency, some form of hui or meeting/symposium, and exhibition or workshops. I organised the 2013 SCANZ along with Te Matahiapo Indigenous Research Centre, Nina Czegledy, Trudy Lane and Thilani Nissanga. Thanks to all who contributed in so many ways.
