Thank you for the great interest in the Open Call for the residency with TEKHNÉ – Be Aware of Sound*.
We will have a pleasure to host the winner Mark Mushiva at TRAFO at the turn of 2023/24.
Mark Mushiva is a Berlin-based Namibian street poet, rapper and technologist. One-third of the award-winning Hip-Hop poetry group lack Vulcanite and professionally trained as a computer scientist (PhD with the University of Trento, Italy), Mushiva uses these two experiences to access and project Afro-Accelerationist visions, the dangerous idea that suggests that a deep, rapid and radical adoption of computer technology by African people can counteract the adverse effects of racial capitalism.
*TEKHNÉ – Be Aware of Sound
Sound art project, incorporating experimental music and visual arts, with open events held for artists, students and the local community. The essence of the above is to combine research, experimental, creative, educational and dissemination activities.
