The Mechanics and Meaning of That Ol’ Dial-Up Modem Sound
Of all the noises that my children will not understand, the one that is nearest to my heart is not from a song or a television show or a jingle. It’s the sound of a modem connecting with another modem across the repurposed telephone infrastructure. It was the noise of being part of the beginning of the Internet.

When I think of 2012, I will think of the overworked fan of my laptop and the ding of getting a text message on my iPhone. I will think of the beep of the FastTrak in my car as it debits my credit card so I can pass through a toll onto the Golden Gate Bridge. I will think of Siri’s uncanny valley voice.
But to me, all of those sounds — as symbols of the era in which I’ve come up — remain secondary to the hissing and crackling of the modem handshake.

Wanja Kimani is a visual and performance artist living in Ethiopia. Unfortunately, her major artwork, “You have not changed”, was stolen on the third day of the exhibition (Dak’Art). The piece reflected the vulnerability of remembrance and longing for intimacy through the relationship between a father and his estranged daughter.
“I was sharing a piece called, You have not changed, a dress that I wore when I was eight years old, when I was leaving Kenya to the UK – where I have been living for the past sixteen years – that was the last time I saw my dad,” said the emotional Wanja.
“Last year, I finally saw my dad for the first time after 16 years. And the first thing he told me was – You have not changed! That kind of experience made me create the work.”
“It’s more of letting go. Even if the dress doesn’t come back, it would be much of an issue than not making the work. And I am happier if a little girl out there is wearing the dress than if its hide somewhere, or thrown away,” she added.
The Dakar biennale is organised by Senegal’s Ministry of culture.
