Pap Souleye Fall turns digital waste into speculative worlds at MIT

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Writing in ArtReview, Gee Wesley examines Pap Souleye Fall’s exhibition at MIT’s List Visual Arts Center. The Senegalese-American artist combines discarded screens, sculptural scaffolding and illustrated wooden books with the fictional struggle between DEAD PIXEL and THE DATA COLLECTOR. Wesley connects the installation’s recurring peanuts and cowrie shells to West African histories, reading its playful construction as a challenge to digital consumption. The exhibition runs through 29 November 2026.
