Welcome to our fourth special episode recorded at the Driving the
Human festival in Berlin! What is a Tron? Well, in the world of
Akwasi Bediako Afrane a Tron has nothing to do with the
film of the same title. Rather, it is a “discarded electronic
gadget which houses the life essence of the previous owner“. At
the Driving the Human Festival, Akwasi presented an installation
made out of various scrap electronics, alongside a short
documentary that touches on the lifecycle of consumer
electronics. We talked to Akwasi about his inspiration (the
Matrix series), the fourth Matrix film (and whether he likes it
or not) and how hard it is to get an insight into the production
and recycling of electronic goods.
