null / space
undefined allocation for classification beyond documentation
In digital systems, a null space represents memory allocated but deliberately left empty - a paradox of documented non-existence. Here, interactive pieces explore the territories between binary states, where identities persist through their refusal to be captured, and futures remain unpredicted through active resistance against algorithmic determination.

[UN]PERSISTED MEMORY
In the architecture of digital systems, persistence refers to data's ability to survive beyond the immediate moment of its creation—to be stored, recalled, and remain unchanged. [UN]PERSISTED MEMORY subverts this fundamental principle, presenting an interactive meditation on digital identity where the very act of documentation becomes a site of resistance.
The piece manifests as a grid of memory blocks, each attempting to document and classify human identity within rigid digital frameworks. However, these blocks exist in a state of perpetual instability, corrupting upon human interaction - a metaphor for our ability to resist digital categorization through active participation in our own data degradation.
[UN]PERSISTED MEMORY proposes that in an age of ubiquitous digital documentation, the right to be forgotten transforms into something more active—the right to corrupt one's own data, to exist in states of quantum uncertainty, to persist precisely by refusing persistence.
