Akwasi Bediako Afrane is an artist based in Kumasi, Ghana. Akwasi’s works explore the idea of augmentation and extensions between technological gadgets, humans, and the environment. He works with electronic gadgets which he refers to as “amputees”. Akwasi 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. Stripped bare of their familiar housing, they become mechanical gizmos subsumed with the consciousness of previous owners of these gadgets and himself.
