Expired Malfunctions

「我們相信自己在不斷地向前邁進。時間是線性的流動，進步也是必然的，這樣的系統制度也終將成為完美的存在。然而事實上，我們可能只是停留在同一個地方不斷循環罷了。如同水蒸發後化為雨水再次回到地面上，我們的記憶也不斷地循環並塑造了現在。我們是透過過去的記憶得以活在當下的存在。」

本次展覽〈Expired Malfunctions〉重新詮釋了在資本主義社會中，為了追求完美的系統制度過程中所出現的「錯誤」與「失敗」。展覽探索了由「時間失效」、「無效算式」、以及「損壞數據」所創造的意外之美。像是水滴蒸發形成了雲，再以雨水的形式重返大地一盎，我們的記憶同樣在不斷地蒸發、凝結，並以全新的形式回到我們身邊。這種記憶的循環有時成為了我們逃脫標準化秩序的關鍵。

Exhibition Statement
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.
