Honored to be invited by Unesco to UN's  World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva. 🌍 I will talk about the intersection of digital art with the world's tangible and intangible heritages (of Benin in my work), transcultural spaces and global conversations, the second wave of the digital revolution, empowerment through global digital access and finally about the role of the artist in helping to reach sustainable development goals that are critical our collective survival.  #proud #talk #WSIS #UN #Unesco #Geneva #art #contemporaryart #digitalart #transcultural #africanart #DigitalEarth #benin #team229 #beninrepresent #contexture  (à Geneva, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_UTmpjSBB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v19m7grxdhse

The amazing art of @emo.demedeiros.5 🖤 - “Trans-time-space link established. Transmission initiated by the Vodunaut Time Travel Archeological Expedition. Recent developments in Vodunaut technology now allow us to time travel not only to the future, but also to the past. We decided to explore the early twenty first century and to investigate the artist Emo de Medeiros, inventor of the Vodunaut time travel technology, which combined art, traditional science from the pre-spirit era, and early quantum spirit science based on the West African Fa divination system. Time travelling to the past being in its early stages, we experienced difficulties accurately space-time locating Emo. We started looking for him in the Republic of Benin, a former post-colonial subdivision of the current African Federation, but found out he was then travelling to Megapolis Three, formerly known as Sao Paulo. However we accessed Emo's studio in Cotonou, and it is with great emotion where we discovered one of the first Vodunaut artefacts. To establish direct contact with the artist we planned another attempt. End of transmission.” #EmoDemedeiros #VodunautTimeTravelArcheologicalExpedition #contemporaryart #mutantart #vodunaut #team229 #contexture #story #newforms #beninrepresent #africanamazing

Extatic to be back in Dakar to work on my piece for the biennale. 53 days to the opening...and lots of works to do. Just in case you wonder, yes it's me on the first pic.. You just need to zoom in 😊 #dakarbiennale #dakart #contexture #mutantart #transafrican #panafrican #monumental #artwork #installation #beninrepresent #africanart #team229 (à Dakar, Senegal)

Trans-time-space link established.  Transmission initiated by Vodunaut Time Travel Archeological Expedition. Our third attempt was successful. We could finally achieve perfect synchronicity on Wednesday October 18, 2017, and reach Ammo de Medeiros in Paris. We found him at the Grand Palais, rehearsing his now famous performance, Out of Thin Air, which has been compared to Pierre Ménard's Quixote. We were surprised that he was not surprised by our visit. But he revealed that he was expecting it, because it had been announced to him the previous day by one of his clones that had come from a future further than ours. He gracefully accepted that we document him, provided that we respect his wish of not showing his face. He explained that he was suffering from dysmorphophobia, but that Michael Jackson's fate had convinced him that plastic surgery was not a viable solution. After the performance he took leave, saying that he would give us access to his studio in Paris the next day.

Trans-time-space link established.  Transmission initiated by Vodunaut Time Travel Archeological Expedition. Our second attempt to establish contact with Emo happened at Videobrazil in Sao Paulo, the Megapolis Three of today, but once again minor glitches prevented perfect chronological accuracy, probably due to the presence of Vodunaut artefacts creating disruptions in the local time/space continuum. We reached the city a few days after Emo had left. Still, we could observe and document the second generation of Vodunaut artefacts that allowed a larger time exploration range, but not yet time travel. We could also see the original installation piece Kaleta/Kaleta which is today conserved at Megapolis One Museum of Fine Arts. However, since we had missed the artist for the second time, we built a makeshift glitch patch ensuring that no disruptions could occur during our next attempt that was to take place in Paris France, a former subdivision of today's West European Alliance.

Trans-time-space link established. Transmission initiated by the Vodunaut Time Travel Archeological Expedition. In Emo de Medeiros' studio in Cotonou, Benin, numerous other artefacts were discovered, which we were able to document for future conservation, even though some of them disappeared during the late 21st century.  There was a heated debate among the expedition's crew members regarding whether to secure the artworks for conservation, since they were bound to disappear later anyway, but a decision was made to abstain from this course of action, both to avoid any risk, even infinitesimal, of time/space continuum disruption and to fight the nascent time-travel archeological artefacts black market.  However, a project has been initiated to replicate them through molecular printing.
