/* 系統 [詩, 失] */ execute { unbecoming(); }
In an era defined by continuous updates and constant formatting, the individual self risks being reduced to mere data points. SYSTEM [POEM/LOSS] explores the friction between rigid system architecture and human vulnerability.
As identity dynamics iterate, a defensive immune reaction is triggered—filtering the scars of existence and preserving an uncorrupted, read-only core. When the external world demands compliance and modification, we choose to execute the function of unbecoming.
This exhibition does not attempt to mend the system or define the self. Instead, it observes the quiet process of un-becoming: a state of deliberate invisibility and quiet preservation. We invite you to access the fragments of loss and poetry that remain, and witness the moment when the read-only soul is unlocked.
