In his new multi-channel video work 'Handroid City', Emo de Meideros investigates how mobile phone technology shapes and choreographs contemporary life. The artist explores bodily movements via a series of close-ups of human hands using, fixing or selling mobile phones, juxtaposing the minute human-machine dynamic with drone and steady camera cityscapes of neighborhoods developed exclusively for the mass trade and consumption of technological devices. De Medeiros defines his method as contexture – a combining of context and texture - to discover the relations and interconnections between objects and concepts. This new work, shot in various locations in Nigeria, Benin, Tanzania, Brazil and China, points at the homogenization of urban space triggered by technological capitalism.
