We believe we are constantly moving forward. Time flows linearly, progress is inevitable, and such systems will eventually become perfect. However, in reality, we might simply be stuck in the same place, endlessly repeating the same cycles. Just as water evaporates and returns to the earth as rain, our memories continuously circulate, shaping the present. We are beings who live in the present through the memories of the past. This exhibition, Expired Malfunctions, reinterprets the “errors” and “failures” that occur in the pursuit of perfect systems within capitalist society. It explores the unexpected beauty created by “invalid time” “non-functioning algorithms,” and “corrupted data.” Much like water droplets evaporate to form clouds and return to the earth as rain, our memories also evaporate, condense, and return to us in entirely new forms. This cycle of memory sometimes becomes the key that liberates us from standardized order.
