Shops, beaches and outdoor culture

Cyberculture on Karangahape Road, opened in 1993, is one documented trace of that infrastructure: records, art, video, studio and internet access in one meeting point.

The full history requires flyers, oral histories and promoter archives. The scene’s small scale makes each private collection especially important.

This record is a doorway. The archive would rather declare a gap and invite contribution than fill space with generalisations.
