In a cruel irony, just ten days after I visited the opening of a virtual exhibition out of Myanmar that was curated around the state of dreaming and speculations about the future, the country’s military staged a coup d’état on February 1. With their act of reprisal against the democratically elected government, the junta stripped from civilians the gamut of possibilities that the show had centered around. Titled “:\Screensaver_” and probing concerns of freedom, identity, and mental health, the exhibition imagines a post-pandemic world that thrives on change and positive disruption (or glitching) of the status quo. But the program was cut short by a nightmarish turn of events: amid both sporadic internet blackouts and the immediate danger that civilians now face, the Mozilla Hub room was left on its own without visitors.
