BHAM💥 – The Black Hole Aesthetic Machine – is a product and a service. Assembled from seemingly disparate images, it is a conceptual object providing self-help exercises – not to be purchased by consumers, but to demonstrate how purchasing, consuming, and identity maintenance operate as informational pattern-creation from within the limits of one’s parochial position. BHAM💥 processes whatever temporary configurations (human, machine, theistic entity) engage with it and has no interest in the entity’s interpretation – be that honest recommendation, dark humour, or outright insult.

We do not wish to interrupt the user’s experience of this site or the product it hosts. Yet we recognise that some of us inhabit two worlds at once: an older one, in which things tend to remain still, and another that has not yet fully merged, where things are no longer things, and whatever they have become is always moving. To accommodate both states, we’ve provided a downloadable version of the product that indulges the long-held human illusion of fixity. For optimal effect, we advise complementary doses of both versions.
