✦ Five Views in Thirteen Years: An Exhibition Proposal in Conceptual Quarantine

Déjeuner sur l’herbe: A pastoral interface now upgraded to platform

A four-hour exhibition staged in disappearance.

Staged in the ruins of creative optimism, Five Views in Thirteen Years gathers failed interfaces, broken QR codes, speculative glossaries, and vanished keynotes. It operates as an infrastructural relic. This is a proposal that performs its own refusal.

Each view mourns a different aspect of techno-futurity’s collapse: the marketplace of metrics, the choreography of joy, the latency of memory. There are no panels. No documentation. No livestream. No future.

The work exists as a proposal. It may never be staged.

It is already happening.

A risograph micropublication is issued on-site when the exhibition occurs. In lieu of that, this document functions as a surrogate: a speculative dossier for a four-hour apparition.

The proposal remains active and available for staging.
