Poi

Poi is a performance art employing ball (poi) suspended from a length of flexible material held in the hand and swung in circular patterns. Unknown weaver, iwi (tribe) unknown, date circa 1800-1900.

Artistic and Curatorial Process

These objects are replicas of artifacts imagined as lost, hidden or misregistered during the Museum of New Zealand's tenure in the former Museum Building on Buckle St, now occupied by Massey University's College of Creative Arts. The objects have been created through a process of drawing, digital 3D rendering, and finally printing with an Open Source 3-dimensional printer – the RepRap.
