As part of Emancipating the Image, a vision of Sankofa City initiated by Ben Caldwell, Founder of KAOS Network in Leimert Park Village. I was invited to participate as a community member artist, in designing a Autonomous Vehicle that incorporates the essence and culture, with a fusion of future creative possibilities and nuance. I created this Mosaic in Photoshop, using a basic AV as a base starting point that I built off of by overlaying Adinkra symbols, patterns, and color.
In this video I’m introducing both myself and the diy kit I’ve chosen to begin my experimental learning journey on the mechanics and programming end of developing an Autonomous Vehicle, as part of Sankofa City and Emancipating the Image.
