Frames

25th — 26th March, 2022
GEL (Ground Floor) Elle Lokko,
N16, Lokko Rd.

Frames is an exploration of motion capture and photo montage by delving into a passé analog animation system which also explores encryption and decryption as a sub-system to create both Abstract and Figurative Interactive artworks.

The focus of this exhibition is to spark a conversation on the relationship between the deaf community and the hearing community, hence the need of a collaboration between Akutso Design Lab and Ghana Deaf Space.

Structure

In this exhibition, a sub-system of encryption and decryption is explored. The interlaced image is the encrypted message, the transparent stripped film is the decryption key (for interaction), the process of moving the film over the interlaced image or the movement of the observer across the installation becomes the interaction, and a decrypted message is what is seen in the form of an analog animation when the interaction is performed on the interlaced image.

The encrypted message is by default presented as an abstract piece and then temporarily translated to a figurative piece via the observer's interaction.

Message

Love is a powerful tool. It brings with it an ability to see beyond limitations.

It shines light on positivity, shows us for who we really are and what we bring into this world.

We present love as a powerful tool against stigmatization, segregation and hate.
