Co-Director

Mushiva

Mushiva (Director/Writer/Protagonist) is a multidisciplinary creative technologist, inventor, and hip-hop artist from Namibia. He has a Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction (University of Trento, Italy) and is one-third of the award-winning hip-hop poetry group Black Vulcanite. Mushiva’s work incorporates novel technologies such as computer vision, sound synthesis, and robotics to access and project Afro-Accelerationist visions, the dangerous idea that suggests that a deep, rapid, and radical adoption of technology by African people can counteract the adverse effects of racial capitalism. Born in a war camp in Lubango, Angola where his parents were stationed as freedom fighters of the Namibian liberation struggle, Mushiva’s political upbringing informs much of his rap and poetry while influences of critical race and post-colonial theory, cybernetics, cyberpunk and technology design inform his creative practice. His latest work, Turbo Summation, brings these ideas to bear. Turbo Summation features a manifesto, synth inspired hip hop album, music film, and home-made wearable instrument. TIME HUNTER is his debut feature film.
