Ibiye Camp engages with various forms of media, including fashion, painting, new media, and architecture, to explore the impact of new technologies on daily life, with a particular focus on the lives influenced by the African diaspora. Camp is the founder of Xcessive Aesthetics, an all-female interdisciplinary architecture collective that seeks to investigate alternative realities Through the combination of spatial data and installations. In this exhibit we will see an extension of the work she carried out in 2019 on markets in Nigeria and Sierra Leone, which used user-generated data to describe the mechanisms and functioning of these complex spatial infrastructures. For digital natives, technology offers an opportunity to become aware of the gap between reality and the digital realm and to address those glitches in order to imagine alternate futures. Modern instances of black cyber-feminism.
