Organization Bio

HAWAI‘I NONLINEAR is a Hawai‘i-based 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

TIMELINE
The organization builds upon a decade-long public new media art project and social practice originally launched in 2010, as a community new media web project, known as HAWAI‘I FUTURES, initiated by Hawai‘i artist Sean Connelly.

Between 2015-2021, Connelly inaugurated the ongoing Hawai‘i Futures Studio as a conceptual public art project and architecture school program that provided external noninstitutional realworld community organizing concepts for realworld architecture studios at Harvard University, University of Hawai‘i, Columbia University, and MIT.

In 2021, Hawai‘i Nonlinear was established as a nonprofit in collaboration between Sean Connelly (After Oceanic) and Dominic Leong (Leong Leong). The organization was created to support grassroots, intergenerational transformations in Hawai‘i’s built environment, transforming from a state of degradation to one that perpetuates ‘āina systems of sustenance.

IMPACT
To date, HAWAI‘I NONLINEAR has been awarded seed funding from the Hawai‘i Leadership Forum in 2021 and has also received technical assistance from the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement. The establishment of HAWAI‘I NONLINEAR has been recognized by multiple institutions, including Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, E-Flux/Guggenheim, Koa Gallery at Kapi‘olani Community College, NMG/Flux Hawai‘i, and MoMA.
