LOADING: the aesthetics of brainrot

Critic's commentary:

In this exhibition, the fractured psyche of the digital age finds form. The artworks don't just depict disorientation —they induce it. Memory slips, symbols glitch, and clarity erodes. It's less a critique than a mirror: a raw, unfiltered download of minds caught between craving connection and drowning in the static of their own overstimulated consciousness.

PRESS RELEASE

The exhibition explores the contemporary mental state generated by information overload and the incessant flow of digital content. Through the aesthetics of brainrot, it captures the mental fatigue, confusion, and alienation caused by the constant consumption of stimuli without meaningful processing or connection. It focuses on the human experience in an era of constant transition, where attention is fragmented, meaning remains unclear, and the need for digital validation shapes our mental reality.
