2021 59 min

The Timeline of Black Exodus Technology (2021) is an audiovisual transmission from the illustrator AbuQadim Haqq and the rhythm analyst DeForrest Brown, Jr., conceptualizing techno artists from Detroit in a century-spanning, multi-generational epic tale of mythological science fiction. Set at the end of the future, painstakingly detailed artworks and stereophonic poetics converge in a rhythmic system, phasing between moods and scenarios at varying stages of the history of Black sonic warfare and the journey home, expanding on the world conceived in Haqq’s 30-page art book The Technanomicron (2008) and graphic novel The Book of Drexciya (2019) with Brown, Jr.’s book on the history of techno, Assembling a Black Counter Culture (2021).
