Glad to participate✨🚀🌍 See you there! 🌊 #contexture #handroidcity #Repost from @aavforum Digital Histories in Africa When talking about technology and its cultural impact, the American-led internet and Silicon Valley are always taken as the global technological standard. This disregards important parallel histories of technological development in different regions across the world, that are shaping the future of digital technologies. Looking at questions of techno-epistemologies, extractivism, algorithmic colonialism and digital activism, artistic practices related to Africa have engaged with technology through a wide spectrum of conceptual and creative methodologies. The panel will address current artistic practices in this field and the related platforms for international research and curatorial presentation. “[…] now billions of Earthlings carry little bits of Africa around with them in their pockets.”—Benjamin Bratton With: Francois Knoetze, artist Emo de Medeiros, artist Tabita Rezaire, artist Arthur Steiner, Programme Manager, Digital Earth, Hivos Presented in collaboration with Digital Earth.
