The Challenge
The Challenge
The National Library’s reopening called for a visionary approach to redefine its place in the digital era. Challenges involved integrating diverse data, including satellite, seismic, historical, societal, and cultural place-making stories, and making complex ideas understandable to various audiences. It required not just technology, but also education, clear thinking, and a new civic storytelling framework.

WHAT WE DID
WHAT WE DID
Meta Moto shaped the exhibition’s intellectual journey, blending perception, synthesis, and storytelling. We curated 3D spatial models across different timeframes, integrated LiDAR and nanoscale data, and commissioned artworks to illustrate abstract themes. Cross-agency data federation, iwi collaboration, and public programs positioned the Library as a national leader in digital cultural expression.
