“It was quite a mysterious disappearance. After three months, while no neighbors had seen her, we realized the door to her house was unlocked. There we found this strange object seemingly named The Harmony Hub, as well as modified household electronic objects and her diary full of experiments.”

The Harmony Hub resembles the chrysalis of an old toaster, adorned with handcrafted connectors. It serves as the central entity facilitating connections among various household electronic devices owned by the disappeared woman. While we discover its functioning and its paper manual, we learn more about her will to develop the world of her objects that she imagined would harmonize.

The anecdotes found in the user guide are extracted from the woman’s journal. It makes us wonder: how are mundane objects treated Post Expiration once they become partly dysfunctional or glitchy? Once joined to The Harmony Hub, electronic things depend on each other to function, inviting us to rethink our relationships with them and incorporate our obsolete objects into our daily lives. It encourages us to consider the environmental impact of our consumption habits and the potential for extending the lifespan of objects beyond their conventional expiration dates.
