Factory Settings / Drift Instruments

€7.00

A score-based edition that follows objects that continue without intervention: timed toys, circular cleaning, and a precision instrument placed onto water. The publication stays with constraint, drift, and residue—where “default” meets a specific room and becomes visible.

This edition studies a small ethics of automation: what happens when the artist steps back and the object continues. It stays with factory settings, timed toys, circular cleaning, and a precision instrument placed onto water—each a compact system that keeps performing without asking to be interpreted.

The scores do not instruct a result. They offer conditions: a circle maintained by repetition, a square held by constraint, a leveling device made unreliable by wind. What emerges is not control but drift—behavior as a trace of contact between a designed function and an unruly environment.

The pages treat “unattended” as a material. Not absence, but a different kind of presence: a room listening for what continues.
