Artist's Description
This piece was inspired by an issue that I feel strongly about, namely the mining of coltan for use in consumer electronics, and the use of digital communication in the current paradigm shift.
Coltan is a rare mineral that can withstand high degrees of heat, so it has become an essential ingredient in the battery capacitors of our consumer electronics, including all of our laptops, mp3 players and cell phones. Coltan is mined in the Congo by slave labor, including what the United States Department of Labor listed as the "worst forms of child labor." 5.4 million deaths have been attributed to the mining. I think that this is a dark truth worth knowing as we surf our facebook profiles and use our phones to call our loved ones, for our technologically privileged lifestyles come at a terrible price.

. a mineral compound so dangerous found in the vast dark depths of the earth should remain in the depths and should never be revealed . disturbed or excavated to the surface of the planet . no one should ever see it or touch it or breathe it . it doesn't belong on the surface in our ecosystem . the negative impact on life as we know it is frightening . it is deep and dark and profoundly dangerous . 5.4 million deaths is an incomprehensible tragedy . . my wish is for your shocking story on the dangers of coltan mining to be heard .
