Frederick Kannemeyer is a South African-trained architect. He is interested in exploring and subverting ideas around digital space, queerness, and the politics and technicalities of online knowledge systems such as Wikipedia developed during his Masters (and as a result of being a child of the internet). His thesis investigated the limits of ‘Architecture’ and space-making and was in alignment with his interest in work that has social, cultural and historical significance
Currently, he is working collaboratively with a globally-situated variety of architectural institutions, collectives and individuals on various research, curatorial and archival projects. The focus of these projects ranges from traditional architecture to architectures of decoloniality, abolitionism, map-making and archive-building (and breaking). While he is often employed as a web designer on these projects, his expertise is cross-disciplinary. He works between different media including collage, photography, painting and coding, often breaking the rules of his chosen medium and celebrating the glitches.
