Core Dump mapped the colonial circuits of digital technology

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In a conversation published by ART AFRICA in March 2020, artist Francois Knoetze and curator Oulimata Gueye discussed Core Dump, a four-part sculpture and video project made across Dakar, Kinshasa, Shenzhen and New York. They linked digital technologies to mineral extraction, electronic waste and colonial power, while exploring how African cinema, mythology and speculative storytelling might challenge assumptions about progress and imagine different social relationships.
