Worlds do not arrive all at once.
They are assembled through stories, infrastructures, migrations, rituals, technologies, accidents, and repairs. They overlap, diverge, and coexist. They are shaped as much by care as by design, as much by inheritance as by invention.
Some worlds seek stability. Others remain unfinished.
Patch Notes That Refuse a Settled World stays with the latter. Rather than treating the future as a singular horizon, the exhibition turns toward a plurality of worlds shaped by different histories, cosmologies, and forms of life.
Borrowed from software and gaming culture, “patch notes” record the changes made as a system continues to evolve. They become a metaphor for worlds sustained through repair, coexistence, and continual change rather than moving toward a single future.
A settled world leaves little room for other stories. Its meanings appear fixed, its future already decided. To refuse a settled world is to remain attentive to worlds that exceed dominant narratives—to ways of living, relating, and imagining otherwise.
Across exhibitions, screenings, performances, and talks, the programme brings together artists from Thailand, Southeast Asia, and beyond, working across moving image, media art, games, digital culture, ecology, and emerging technologies. Drawing from local histories, cosmologies, myths, vernacular knowledge, and lived experiences, their works trace worlds that persist alongside dominant narratives of progress, development, and technological futures.
