P I K O
A 360° VR immersive experience by Christopher Kahunahana, Lanakila Mangauil and Nicole Naone.
PIKO is currently on display in the Artists of Hawai’i NOW exhibition at the Honolulu Museum of Art. The piece is presented as a fully immersive experience projected in a geodesic dome with Virtual Reality.
Shot over the course of two years at 8,000 ft above sea level on island of Hawaiʻi at Puʻukoli, this is the first time Maunakea, Maunaloa and Hualalai have been filmed simultaneously in 360° presented in time-lapse, in both Virtual Reality and projection.
PIKO features four oli (chants) recited by Lanakila Mangauil. They are the first sixteen lines of the Kumulipo, ʻO Hānau Ka Mauna, He Mele No Kāne, and Maunakea Kuahiwi.
