Hex State Server
Square Street GallerySquare Street Gallery is pleased to present Hex State Server, Brandon Tay’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, curated by Institution of Niche and Rafi Abdullah. At the core of Hex State Server is the interplay between individual agency and destiny. It draws parallels between Chinese divination and computation, probing the relationship between randomness and fate. Visitors participate in a collaborative, asynchronous fortune-telling session through an interactive sculpture connecting them to the Hex State Server—an oracle simulation operating through I-Ching logic. Surrounding the exhibition, Phantom Index unfolds as a speculative timeline mapping Chinese thought from historical to speculative futures. Through these layered frameworks, Tay investigates Chinese cosmotechnics and the fundamental overlap between chance and destiny.
