Kii A Loaa vs Pulp Time

Kii A Loaa are public, augmented reality experiences inviting participants to deepen their appreciation of Native Hawaiian perspectives through a series of digital encounters designed to rethink and reimagine the significance of contemporary monuments or kii. Produced by Honolulu Theatre for Youth, each experience is created by a team of professional theatre makers, visual artists, composers, filmmakers, designers and programmers, led by Native Hawaiian storyteller Moses Goods. Each experience lasts roughly 15 minutes and includes immersive sound, video, 3D animation, music, hula and interactive elements. Experiences can be accessed by downloading this application on either a cell phone or tablet and then scanning an image located on a plaque at the base of two statues both located in downtown Honolulu, the Queen Lili‘uokalani statue located between Iolani Palace and the Hawai‘i State Capitol and the King Kamehameha statue at Aliolani Hale. The Monuments Queen Liliuokalani Statue Queen Liliuokanlani was the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii and this statue of her is often adorned with lei brought by people seeking to honor her memory. The experience is centered on the question, “What is your relationship to the Queen?” Four animated lei unlock stories told by four individuals from various points in time.  As each character presents their lei to the statue their unique relationship to the Queen herself is revealed. King Kamehameha Statue King Kamehameha became the first monarch of Hawaii when he unified the islands, and this statue is one of the most recognizable monuments in Hawaii. Taking place along the perimeter of the statue, this experience leads users on a journey through thousands of years of history, exploring the Hawaiian perspective on the creation of an image. From traditional carving practices to literal depictions made with modern techniques this experience invites viewers to consider the question “What is one’s responsibility when creating an image?” In a place where hundreds of thousands of photos are taken every year this journey investigates what that might mean within Hawaiian culture today. We hope to add more places and perspectives in the near future! Recommendations for best viewing: • The experience is accessible by either a smart phone or tablet. • Earphones or Earbuds for better quality audio. • Downloading the app can happen at any point prior to the experience but only activates at the proper location. • Both experiences require about 15 minutes and are fully accessible to wheelchairs.
