Mweb, one of our main internet servers has the slogan 'We connect - You Can'. Although a lot of our rural areas still have no running water, electricity along with cell phones and broadband connections , the world has become much more accessible for these people and has enabled them to connect with their families all over the world. Their living quarters may be quite basic but most homes have TV aerials and /or satelite dishes and the majority of the people have cell phones.

Great fun!
Great piece- love it.
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly is this village? Your use of many techniques makes me feel as if I'm just looking over a hill. It is an interesting juxtaposition of rural life and it's link to the electronic world.
ReplyDeletePhil,
ReplyDeleteI love it! Makes me feel very homesick. Perfectly captured the feel of rural Africa.

Awesome work, Mom! When's your next piece going up? You do one of yours (your way) and I'll do one myself (my way).
ReplyDeleteMurray, what a brilliant idea: you producing a piece of art to our theme - Seeing Red! You are hereby officially invited - and I'm sure I speak for all the others.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else got family who could be persuaded to participate?
Hilary
