Coding, Braiding, Transmission: On the Aesthetic Life of Dark Sousveillance” is a critical analysis of Tamar Clarke-Brown and Isaac Kariuki's 2017 digital startup and collaborative performance installation entitled Coding: Braiding: Transmission. In this speculative work of art, the gesture of braiding hair codes encrypted messages, staging the possibility of black women's furtive communication in the wake of mass surveillance. The argument emphasizes the fugitive possibilities advanced by Clarke-Brown and Kariuki's experimental formal strategy—identifying Coding: Braiding: Transmission as a practice of what Simone Browne calls dark sousveillance
