All That is Solid

Synopsis

A technographic study of e-recycling and neo-colonial mining filmed in the Agbogbloshie ewaste ground in Accra, Ghana. The video constructs a critique of the capitalist myth of the immateriality of new technology - thus revealing the mineral weight with which the Cloud is grounded to its earthly origins.

Black Code/Code Noir Black Code/Code Noir

Director: Louis Henderson

Year: 2015

"'Black Code/Code Noir' unites temporally and geographically disparate elements into a critical reflection on two recent events: the murders of Michael Brown and Kajieme Powell by police officers in the U.S. in 2014. Archaeologically, the film argues that behind this present situation is a sedimented history of slavery, preserved by the Black Code laws of the colonies in the Americas. These codes have transformed into the algorithms that configure police Big Data and the necropolitical control of African Americans today. Yet how can we read in this present? How can we unwrite the sorcery of this code as a hack? Through a historical détournement the film suggests the Haitian Revolution as the first instance of the Black Code’s hacking and as a past symbol for a future hope."
