Spoiled Systems, Slow Sabotage at Goethe-Institut


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

SALOON Network presents Spoiled Systems, Slow Sabotage, a collection of eight video works that explores fermentation not only as a biological process, but a radical logic of transformation. Queering ecologies and infrastructures, spanning personal, biological, social and digital realms, these works unsettle fixed categories of identity and function.

Through time, video art has challenged traditional notions of media and gradually evolved into diverse forms and experiments. The exhibition aims to explore this generative unruliness through diverse artistic lenses: digital materiality mirrors biological decay; algorithms act as microbes; and glitches become fertile soil where meanings compost and recompose, rejecting the sterile perfection of the digital form. Here, queerness operates as a method—a way of rerouting how worlds are built through cross-species alliances.
