Ibiye is a British Nigerian multidisciplinary artist. Her work engages with technology, trade and material within the African Diaspora. Ibiye’s work utilises architectural tools to create sound and video, textiles, accompanied by augmented reality and 3D objects, and highlights the biases and conflicts inherent to technology and postcolonial subjects. Her past projects in Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Ethiopia investigated the dynamics of technology as a means to explore the glitches and tensions between digital infrastructure and the landscape.
