“Misled Malfunction” — Circuits, Chaos, and Consciousness

“Misled Malfunction” — Circuits, Chaos, and Consciousness

What happens when the human mind meets machine logic? “Misled Malfunction” explores that blurry edge. Through a punchy mix of hand-drawn line work and abstract machinery, this piece imagines the ‘singularity’ not as a sleek future but as a cluttered, comical, and curious convergence of analog and AI.

It reflects where we are now—talking to algorithms, training models, and asking: is this the start of something brilliant or the breakdown of something essential?

The teeth and gears twist together in a sort of mechanical madness, hinting at a larger conversation about identity, automation, and creativity. Are we still the ones making the art—or are we just feeding machines our data and calling it expression?

Located in the eclectic heart of Lakewood, this box honors the weird, the wired, and the wonderfully unpredictable. It’s a celebration of error, an ode to the glitch. And maybe, just maybe, a reminder that our “malfunctions” are what make us most human.
