Ozuma Patrick

is a contemporary Nigerian visual artist, tech enthusiast, and environmental advocate whose practice critically engages with technology, material culture, and the Black body. Working at the intersection of art and electronics, he transforms discarded digital components—such as computer keyboards and circuit boards—into sculptural assemblages that evoke cyberpunk aesthetics and post-human identities. His work functions as both archive and provocation, documenting the residue of technological advancement while challenging its racialized and ecological implications.

Driven by a desire to illuminate the psychological interplay between coding, identity, and behavior, Ozuma’s art interrogates the myth of machine neutrality. He explores how Artificial Intelligence systems often reproduce colonial legacies and cultural bias—particularly in their representations of Blackness. His sculptures stage speculative dialogues between the human and the post-human, questioning how Black bodies are positioned within emerging technological narratives.

Beyond aesthetics, Ozuma’s commitment to e-waste recycling underscores a broader call for environmental sustainability and the reimagining of global tech economies. His practice envisions a more inclusive digital future—one where ancestral knowledge, ethical innovation, and ecological responsibility are centered.

Through his cybernetic figures and embodied critiques, Ozuma situates the Black body not as a passive subject of surveillance and automation, but as a visionary co-author of our technological future. In Rotation 1, his work calls viewers to reconsider who gets to design, define, and belong in the new digital age.
