BHAM💥 The Black Hole Aesthetic Machine is an imaginary product and service designed to help humans come to terms with their impending obsolescence. Assembled from seemingly disparate images and satirical self-help exercises – it aims to demonstrate how purchasing, consuming, and identity maintenance always operated as informational pattern-creation 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.

BHAM💥 originally existed as website and was made for The Doughnut(W)Hole Pavilion as part of The Wrong Biennale (7th Edition) 2025/26 which ran from the 1st of November 2025 to the 31st of March 2026.

The printed publication was supported by Welcome to Wandsworth and was launched on the 19th March 2026 at Putney Library where an audience was invited to play and contribute to speculation about humanity’s future. With Kim Shaw, The Doughnut(W)Hole curator.
