The digital artwork Text Block, developed from the idea that the extension to the Hawkes Bay Museum and Art Gallery is being built by people, and that contributions to its construction should be represented as people and not traditional building components. It is the shear will and tenacity of local people that are bringing the new extension into being, and consequently it made sense to portray the architecture as the names of those who have donated. We hope that for the many people who donate to the project, that seeing their name as a key element to the building will help them feel that are part of the building.
