Jim Chuchu interview with ADA

Here is an interview digital artist and Just A Band member Jim Chuchu did with African Digital Art.

So you are an Afrigadget inventor, how did this come about? What has been the response so far? Do you have any more inventions lined up?

Am I really an inventor? Ha, ha! Another accident; I needed to shoot some video and in Kenya you have two options:
A – get REALLY expensive lights from the likes of Film Studios Kenya, orB – get REALLY crappy tungsten floodlights (which are modified security lights) for hire
I didn’t have a truckload of money, and I really hate the floodlights (they waste so much power and they’re really hot). So I stuck a couple of compact-fluorescents in a cardboard box and used them to shoot the video (I never tell purists this story because they’d vomit all over me).It was surprising then to hear that there was an article on AfriGadget about my little box. Later on, I began to wonder why there’s such a shortage of innovation in Africa that when someone sticks bulbs in a box he becomes an inventor. The nature of this work forces you to come up with solutions to problems quickly, so there’s always a lot of duct-taping of things to one another, and misusing of ordinary household objects.

Going Green

This from Black Looks

Yes, I've gone green. If you think that the election in Iran wasn't free
and fair, or that there was swindling and fraud, and if you can, say something
green on your blog, or turn it green temporarily, in solidarity with the masses
protesting in the streets in Tehran, demanding freedoms. And dying. Here's what you could do; one or more of these:

1. Write a poem about Iran and post it
2. Write a poem about the colour green and post
3. Discuss what’s going on in Iran at the moment in a post
4. Discuss the importance of not having theocracies (tsk tsk tsk!)
5. Post someone else’s poem about Iran/the colour green/theocracies/etc
6. Turn your blog green — shocking green, ha ha!
7. Share the present post with blogger friends
8. Read this article: http://mg.co.za

"Poem for the rooftops of Iran."

Various Artists - "Mteja"

Mteja, a collaborative effort between diverse artistes Wahu, Juliani,

done with the conviction that we all have a right to know thing like-how much of
the CDF money is spent and how.

Video: Kenya's mini-moguls

Amidst the economic carnage, Kenyas Equity Bank is booming. Micro loans as small as $10 are helping the countrys budding business people. Can Wall Street learn a lesson from these rural entrepreneurs?
Last year Philip Ndungu dropped out of school, as he couldnt afford the fees. But when Equity Bank opened in his neighbourhood, Philip was granted a $100 loan to start a business selling breakfasts. I sell to about 700 people a day before I go to school. Equitys founder Dr James Mwangi believes its success is due to aiding Kenyas poorest entrepreneurs. Equity has developed a model that has incorporated them, made banking inclusive.
