Computer Blue: a song by Prince; twins and not-twins; love and fate; you were supposed to meet me; the light is falling; it’s all that we don’t know; can we stay like this forever?; a performance piece, a meditation on light, movement, sound, love, destiny and the power of not-knowing;
Over the course of an hour, artists Wura-Natasha Ogunji and Taiwo Aiyedogbon wrapped thread between two trees and the posts of the Jaekel House in Ebute Metta, Lagos. The blue thread emerged from orange buckets, as if water but also air. The performance ended when the thread ran out.
