Given the importance of technology in our everyday life, and our growing reliance on it during the pandemic, this exhibition brings to life important questions about how our digital tools intersect with our identity. With just 3% of the UK tech force being black, This Machine Is Black will create a vital space to integrate technologies' role in upholding and dismantling racism.
The space, designed like a garden, is split into four themes: Deep Fakes, Surveillance and Privacy, Afrofuturism and Abolition. Each contains unique art pieces, created by Identity 2.0 or a talented artist from a Black, Asian or underrepresented ethnic group.
