Joining the inaugural Artistic Advisory Committee is Ryan C. Clarke (@negrolith), a tonal geologist from the southeastern banks of the Mississippi, and an editor and curator at Dweller Electronics. His work has been published and presented by Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art and Thought, e-flux journal, Rhizome, Burnaway, Terraforma, Harvard’s Hiphop Archive & Research Institute, Warp Records, and MoMA PS1. With Dweller, Clarke produces festivals and publications providing afrologic counterpoint within an otherwise eurologically dominant music industry. — Image courtesy Ryan C. Clarke.
