Murmurs in impasto and ink

Selekane’s Murmurs of Migration may refer to migration by its title but to a large extent, what the work is about, is a celebration of women and their role in our multifaceted society. Some of the works featured in this exhibition betray this observation, however, these works, whether paintings or prints carry other concerns that preoccupy the artist such as youth and unity in the community whether social or religious. In its collective communication, Murmurs of Migration seems to implore us to consider another form of migration. Another form of journeying. That is the journey of self-discovery through our interaction with others. This is quite befitting in a world caught up in a whirlpool of abandonment and alienation despite our shared space and time. … Read More Murmurs in impasto and ink

OTT Paralax180522

Unless a stranger steps on our corns and behaves as if they know us from Phelindaba, we tend to be lenient when a relationship between ourselves and those who have access to our personal data is mutually beneficial. No matter how critical we may be about it, DStv has forged a deeper relationships with us. For now we will stay tuned. Perhaps after three months or so we may sing a different tune. Or the DStv Streama decoder would have arrived by then, kiosking all the streaming apps within one device. Is The War of The Streaming Apps on the horizon or we, those of us who are interested in the evolution of the telly, awakening to a raging war?… Read More OTT Paralax180522

What do painters do all day?

Telkom_LIT_TV_100 and the New Frontier

The LIT TVC 100 Packages then turns your home into a connected hub both in entertainment and productivity, concretely. Gradually Naspers through both DStv Now and Showmax has made its way into the OTT environment and Telkom LIT TVC 100 will provide one of the ecosystems within which it can thrive amongst other OTT’S. Make no mistake that the other internet service providers will hanker into the OTT’s application platforming over time; perhaps by platforming rather than erecting a new OTT service similar to Showmax or Netflix for that matter. It is a matter of how they will find their way there which will be of interest to those who care about the future of television. This is the new frontier that is opening up and Telkom dictates the way through data provision and platforming.… Read More Telkom_LIT_TV_100 and the New Frontier
