eColonialism

is an audiovisual installation that interrogates the persistence of colonial structures in the digital age. Using geospatial data—ranging from river basins to land use and economic indices—the piece exposes how mapping, a seemingly neutral practice, serves capitalist ventures and territorial control. The video, projected onto a slab of stone, juxtaposes vibrant, algorithmically generated maps with a critical reflection on the digitisation of land as a form of modern colonialism. Accompanied by a stereo soundscape, the installation questions whether contemporary datafication is a rebranded, insidious continuation of historical exploitation.
