| Sumario: | This essay examines Blackness and its colonial appropriation through the case of FN Meka, a robot rapper, along with other holographic, digitized representations of Black musical production. What does it mean to technically simulate Blackness? And what can be done to resist this simulation? We attempt to answer this question through a critical making project in which DJ and audience interact in a way that does not only rely on the simulation of racial signifiers. |
