Read-Only Memory expands the modular approach first introduced in Random Access Memory. Centered around the large-scale installation Datenkörper [operating failure system], the exhibition brings together previously independent bodies of work within a shared sculptural environment. Rather than dissolving their autonomy, the individual works remain legible while entering new structural dependencies.

Guided by scenarios of solar storms and large-scale blackouts, the exhibition imagines a condition in which contemporary infrastructures become unstable. Rather than illustrating catastrophe, this speculative framework allows systems of storage, value, communication, and measurement to encounter one another under altered conditions.

Borrowed from computer architecture, the title refers to a state in which information can be accessed but not altered. Read-Only Memory adopts this condition as a spatial principle: the exhibition preserves traces of contemporary infrastructures while suspending their apparent functionality, allowing new relations to emerge between autonomous works.
