Biography
Akwasi Bediako Afrane is a Ghanaian artist living and working in Ghana. His practice explores augmentation and the extensions between technological gadgets and humans. He works with discarded electronic gadgets, which he calls “amputees”. He refashions and repurposes these amputees into machines and micro-organisms he describes as “TRONS”. These TRONS become potential platforms and media for reflection, engagement and interactions. His TRONS, stripped bare of their familiar housing, become mechanical gizmos subsumed by the consciousness of their previous owners and his own.
