Toto's 'Africa' plays eternally in Namib Desert installation

Artist Max Siedentopf has installed a multimedia artwork titled 'Toto forever' in the Namib Desert, which plays the Toto song 'Africa' on a continuous loop using six speakers, an MP3 player, and solar-powered batteries. The 1991-born artist, who grew up in Namibia to German parents, works across publishing, graphic design, and visual arts, often using irony. The installation transforms the popular 1980s hit into a minimalist monument, broadcasting the track eternally across the dunes. The work references the song's enduring popularity, which has been subject to numerous remixes and memes, including a version by Pitbull for the film 'Aquaman'.
