The Cloth In The Cable

2022
Mixed media installation
Cables, cloth, hair, dust, spices, herbs

Installation in which the artist wraps internet cables — the veins through digital information travels — in hair, cloth, dust, and spices that hold significance in Igbo culture. The installation is a gesture towards infusing modern technical systems with values and ontologies from other cultures.
