→ On Continuous City: A Conversation with Marianne Weems @Rhizome
Many places in Africa have gone straight to cell phones and they’re never going to wire. It’s really interesting. When I first started working on Continuous City, what I wanted to do initially was to go to some of these classic “megaslums,” which I’m using in quotes because it has a slightly derogatory feeling to it, but that’s what a lot of urban scholars call them. I wanted to see if there was a way to engage those populations in a project. And, we sort of halfway ended up doing that.
