Dérive app is the result of the work of many people and all contributors are credited. The core team is Eduardo Cachucho and Babak Fakhamzadeh.
Team
Eduardo Cachucho – Chief Creative Officer
Eduardo is an artist and architect based in Johannesburg. He is interested in how national, and trans-national, infrastructural developments can have long lasting rippling effects from their implementation. His first solo exhibition, Looking Glass: Johannesburg 2012 and 1886-1896, was presented in 2012 at GoetheonMain, Johannesburg. His works act as interventions that reinforce or put into question the idea that infrastructural developments can have long lasting, rippling, effects. Simultaneously his interest in performance and video work allow another entry-point into similar research material and works.
Another area of interest lies in the merging of new technologies with established theories and concepts as well as the possibilities of emphasising/breaking down their relevance through this juxtaposition.
He currently lectures at the University of Johannesburg.
Babak Fakhamzadeh – Chief Operating Officer
Babak was working in ICT4D before it had a name, never really left it, and knows how to throw together a pretty mean combination of your favourite collection of programming languages. He brought photomarathons to Africa and won the Highway Africa new media award with Ismail Farouk. Work of his was selected to represent Uganda at the World Summit Award, twice. In 2016, together with Agência Pública, he won, and was a runner up for, the Prêmio Jornalístico Vladimir Herzog de Anistia e Direitos Humanos.
Twice, he made it to the Guinness book of records. He created what was probably the first mobile phone based city tour in 2004 as well as what probably was the first QR-code assisted smartphone-based city tour in 2009.
