In DJ culture, USB drives are deeply personal, holding carefully curated music collections that define a DJ’s taste. Often attached to keychains, they travel between events, enabling spontaneous sets and collaborations. Sometimes, they are left behind, lost in the flow of the night.

‘Lost and Loaded’ highlights this practice by hanging USBs from different DJs on a wall-mounted rack, each braided with colorful rubber bands. The piece reflects the transient nature of digital music, personal archives, and cultural exchange, turning these everyday objects into traces of movement and memory. Their contents remain unknown until played, waiting to be discovered.
