E-Kare is an art x music collective, usually consisting of Gerrit Jos van Beek and Piupiu Maya Turei. The project was brought into the world in 2016, with an installation / gig / house party at their flat in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Blooming Party featured the first E-Kare music set (Game Boy and SunVox) and two gaming stations – a PlayStation one with Spyro projected on the lounge wall and a computer in the landing next to the toilet.
Since the inception of E-Kare, there has been a strong focus on three things – video game technology (particularly Nintendo handheld consoles), anti-capitalism and a hard core DIY vibe. Recent shows include: E-Kasino (2020) at the Blue Oyster Project Space, Dankfest (2020) promoted by Dance Happy Doom Crew at the Crown Hotel, E-Kare and Cream Puff present in the pit of eternal potential by Cream Puff and E-Kare (2021) as part of Tinyfest and Chaos Star Journeys Vol. 1 (2023) hosted / commissioned by Pyramid Club.
