Black Life Residency at Berkeley art museum & pacific film archive
Participating in the Black Life Residency at BAMPFA gave me a certain push to create a lot of new projects.
Some of the things I experimented with included
“A Synthesized Algorithmic Message” (short film)
“All of The Things” (poetry chap book)
Rise Poster, Wash Over Her & AA Proverb 1
30 Contemporary Artist to Watch in collaboration with Club Proxii & BAMPFA
While making these works I was thinking about about data and the personal archives we create on social media platforms. In the process of making I download my entire instagram account which was over 2,000 post over 5 years which included life moments, achievements, reflections and artwork that I have fanned over. The short film “A Synthesized Algorithmic Message” is a compilation of the videos that I have collected over time, meanwhile “All of The Things” is a collection of poetry and fragmented life reflections stringed together to express well, all of things.
