DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sanjin Muftic (University of Cape Town)\nThis paper 
 discusses how the emergence of digital scholarship is allowing artist to r
 estage\, reperform\, and re-investigate the histories of the African conte
 nt through mediums that are informed by the development of new media techn
 ologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Using Achille Mbembe’s claim t
 hat the “Internet is Afropolitan” (2015)\, the paper looks at several 
 projects by African artists and on the continent winch find their expressi
 on in locative sound installations\, online exhibitions\, and interactive 
 video performances. Through a critical reflection identifying these projec
 ts as part of digital humanities\, it examines how their critical apprecia
 tion can give insight to the continent’s navigation through the 4th Indu
 strial Revolution.\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event/171/contributions/2
