ERROAR! 2018–2025

Since 2018, the ERROAR! Series transforms the hallucinations, biases, and glitches of human-machine coupling into multimedia installations. Here, data shrinks, training slows, and renders fray, spilling errant stories and frequencies that rewire our perception, affect, and imagination. These works materialize the "cognitive distortion" of artificial neural networks as speculative artifacts, forming a future archaeology of now where technological errors are paleocybernetic fossils, calcified as evidence of a recursive hunger. In this self-devouring loop, objectivity is swallowed, yet regurgitated as resistance. Every algorithmic stumble is a fossil-in-waiting, and every glitch is an escape route.
