S3:E4 “Brush Hour” Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

This is the concluding episode of the Art series started last week.

The famous artist Leonardo Da Vinci once said, "Art is never finished, only abandoned." Human history has been interspersed with art and the earliest evidence of this is found in caves in Chauvet, whose paintings date about 30,000 years ago. Art is a means of preservation of expression. Right from the times of ancient civilization from Egypt & Mesopotamia, through to the Hellenistic civilization period that permeated the Roman and Greek empires until now with the post-modern movement and digital age, humans have evolved art to better tell their story.

Joining us today in the studio are two prolific Ghanaian artists, Bright Ackwerh & Peter Asare to discuss this all-important topic.

S3:E1 “Big Click Energy” Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

Smartphone photography has come a long way. Flagship phones have at least 4 cameras - a front facing HD camera; a main camera; an ultrawide shooter and a telephoto lens. Many phones are able to shoot excellent lowlight footage with insane image stabilization. So now we are wondering: have smartphone cameras caught up with professional cameras? The John Legend "A Good Night" video was shot entirely on a Google Pixel 2; Eminem's "Venom" performance was shot entirely on a Google Pixel 3; the list goes on and on. If you compare pictures and videos from $1,000 smartphones and $4,000+ full frame mirrorless professional cameras, how similar can they get?

Today we are joined by Enam (thegreyshutter) and Lawrence (Ghog), two of the most talented photographers in Ghana for an exciting discussion.

Show notes

Video gaming goes as far back as the 50's but did not reach mainstream popularity until the 70s and 80s, when arcade games and consoles using joysticks, buttons, and other controllers, along with graphics on computer screens and home computer games were introduced to the general public. Now with over a million video games in circulation and about 2 billion global gamers, the video game industry generates north of $140 billion annually.
