Digital Africa (review)
Artists from varied African backgrounds have always looked to new forms of visual expression to represent and convey ideas. We have seen this in recent multimedia presentations of the arts and visual cultures of Africa such as Black President: The Art and tegacy of Tela Anikulapo-Kuti, in which several artists innovatively merged sight and sound. Those artists participating in the provocative exhibition, Digital Africa (presented at Electronic Arts Intermix) continue to push the envelope, exploring new technologies—from conceptual performance to interactive Web art—as a means of engaging and contesting a range of issues that comprise today's global media reality.
