About the Artist
Maurice Mbikayi is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher whose practice encompasses sculpture, installation, performance, photography, moving image, writing and theoretical inquiry. Born in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, he works between Cape Town and Kinshasa. He holds an MFA with distinction from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town (2015).
Since 2010, Mbikayi has developed a multidisciplinary practice examining the socio-cultural, political and material consequences of the Digital Age, focusing on technology’s transformation of identity, labour, memory, power and the environment.
Working with discarded electronics, Mbikayi transforms technological residues into cultural artefacts and living archives addressing extraction, labour, migration, consumption, inequality and ecological transformation.
