... civilization built on slavery... the mythology of the First World...
The first part of the Burundi remix is a digital desert illustrating the soulless grayscale of the capitalist world. A native singer is whipped by the glitches while trying to sing a beautiful song. The scene is an insignificant instance in the “brief” history of slavery for a Westerner. It's not easy to acknowledge the fact that we built our society on slavery... But we did... Nevertheless, distorted warriors shall rage upon the conquerors, playing the flutes of great victory and freedom in the end.
