Francois Knoetze’s Mythical E-Waste Creature Haunts “Vertical Atlas” Book and Exhibition Launch

For the launch of Vertical Atlas, a book and exhibition capturing Hivos and Het Nieuwe Instituut’s joint research into digital geopolitics, South African artist Francois Knoetze unleashes the mythical e-waste creature from his 2018 short Core Dump ‘E-Revenant’. Shot in Dakar and the first in a series of four, the film “emerges from the dystopian landfills of consumer culture” to explore the links between digital technology and colonialism.
