SODA WORKS 2018

The SODA (Solo/Dance/Authorship) class of 2018 have compiled this publication to contain selected content from their individual thesis projects. These projects each consisted of a live performance - presented in December 2017, at the Uferstudios in Berlin - an artist work book, as a document of the creative process and a written essay, each explicating areas of independent research. It is the aim of this publication to present a selection of this material for public dissemination. The publication can be read in two directions: vertically as well as horizontally. You can choose from which perspective you would like to start. You can read the book from the beginning till the end and after that start again, this time reading from a different angle, or you can simply make fast changes, jumping from horizontal to vertical, from vertical to horizontal. It is just a matter of adjusting the object to your choices. The amount of changes is limitless.

Imagine the carpenters in Africa as they use their high-tech finger prosthetic to drill through the compact wooden<br />

surface.In this time, it is a common belief that the future is a technological terrain, a terrain as hostile as their history.<br />

As they examine the twenty-first century archive patiently and carefully, they were astonished by the impact of<br />

the development of the high- tech finger drill and the effect it was to have on the forgotten beings (Ancestors). The<br />

seriousness of the forefathers and mothers of Afrofuturism touched them, and the accountability they exhibited<br />

towards the not-yet, towards the becoming. Inspired by Kodwo Eshun<br />

Imagine the fishermen in Africa programming and installing hand-embedded sensors on their nets, detecting fragmented<br />

pieces of broken nets over and over.Imagine the readouts on their portable indicators pointing to the risky<br />

and high levels of hostile projection of the broken net.<br />
