Who are we without access to an archive of our collective memory? This three-part installation recontextualizes the archiving of Black consciousness, knowledge-generation and technology as an experience occupying digital space. Language is one of the oldest forms of technology. Specifically indigenous African writing systems are at the core of this archival experience uniting an AI data sculpture, sonic fragments, dance, and an ancient Ethiopian architectural site of both knowledge-generation and technology.
