The project takes as its starting point the arrival of the Karpowership, a floating power plant stationed off the coast of Freetown and Takordi as a temporary solution.
Temporary power infrastructures, shaped by deregulation, privatisation, and conflict, reinforce global dependencies rather than fostering self-sustaining networks.
Using point cloud scanning, I digitally map the coastline and energy infrastructures of Freetown (Sierra Leone) and Jamestown, Tema and Takoradi (Ghana). The Point cloud technology, which relies on the reflection of light to measure and capture spaces, offers a way of rendering the environment as a fragmented data points. The resulting scans are full of gaps and distortions, visual ruptures that echo the instability of power systems and the way they impact how space is navigated and understood.
