Quantum Visions of Africanfuturism: Allegories of AI

Explore how speculative narratives of Black imaginations can be read as allegories of living with data and artificial intelligence.

 

Four AI art pieces are in conversation with  Africanfuturism, a term coined by writer Nnedi Okorafor, to examine the deeper meanings in the various elements that compose the artworks. By combining deep learning techniques, digital art, and photography, the artworks prioritise the experiences, needs, and subjectivities of African communities on the continent and its diaspora.
