This artwork is the result of a counter-culture formed at the intersection of Islam and Rap music, with a nod to technology’s role in exacerbating the vulnerability of Black American people.
The work subverts the typical use of target recognition technology – augmented reality acting as the surveillance state – by providing a counternarrative for high profile rap artists who are often cast as one-dimensional and judged on their lyrics.
