Sidony O’Neal and Bogosi Sekhukhuni, two interdisciplinary artists with backgrounds in conceptual art, design, and technology, are co-founders of the design firm INFANT. O’Neal’s work draws on mathematics, architectural systems, and object histories, with exhibitions at venues such as Sculpture Center, ICA at Maine College of Art and Design, and MASS MoCA residencies. Sekhukhuni explores cultures and histories of technology through sculpture, video, and performance, with exhibitions at Fondazione Prada, New Museum, and Sharjah Art Foundation, and is a founding member of the artist group NTU.
This article matters because it introduces INFANT, a new design firm co-founded by two critically engaged artists whose practices bridge art, technology, and material culture. The collaboration signals a growing trend of artists moving into design and commercial practice, expanding the boundaries of contemporary art and its applications beyond traditional exhibition spaces.
