Thandiwe Muriu Kenya, b. 1990
59 x 39 3/8 in
relics, would grumble with a distinctive whirr as if protesting against the
hot and dusty conditions of Nairobi. With their bulky presence and
outdated design they stood as testaments to a time when the world
wide web was still a novelty and technology a laborious trek of zeros and
ones. Patience was required to journey through the digital realm.
Camo 03 captures the very spirit of those schoolroom computers, their
frowning attitude, clunky keyboards and pixelated screens of limited
color palette reminding Thandiwe of an era gone by under sweltering
Thursday afternoon lessons.
