Synopsis

In this episode, Phumulani Ntuli expands on his most recent collaboration with David Krut Projects that resulted in his body of work “Kunela iphuzu emafini’ / echoes of the point cloud"​The works are largely inspired by a film titled, ‘Jim Goes to Joburg’ directed by Donald Swanson – in this podcast, the artist has generated the voice of Donald Swanson using AI to narrate his answers! 'Kunanela iphuzu emafini / Echoes of the Point Cloud' contains excerpts from South Africa’s history of motion pictures in collision with current point cloud data, automation, and synthesis bestowed by Artificial Intelligence. The body of work attends to scenes deployed through a black and white cinematic lens, to reenact the South African seminal film tradition within the margins of the changing socio-political landscape. 'Kunanela iphuzu emafini / Echoes of the Point Cloud' searches for alternate ways of seeing, experiencing and navigating the changing city.⁠These works will be showing at Latitudes Centre for the Arts until the
