Beta-Real: The Materiality of Loss

“Beta-Real: The Materiality of Loss” aims to expose the Real as the Beta-Real; fixed memory, fixed identity and fixed history as nothing more than traces of memories, identities and histories, each stable only for a fleeting moment. The Beta-Real names a “beta version” still in development, always already shifting, always becoming, and not yet ready for release. The Beta-Real encourages us to linger there, in the in-between: between the tangible and the intangible, between what remains and what is left behind, between what is remembered and what is forgotten, between what is cast and the mold from which it is cast.
