Bu rnout not only settles in the individual body as a state of exhaustion, bu t it also accumulates, circulates and disperses into a shared climate that stretches across technical systems, social relations and ecological proce sses. What happens at the margins of exhaustion, where systems fa lter or refuse to fully cohere? Could spaces emerge for tentative forms of connection, alternative rhythms and practices that do not reproduce the e xtractive logic of burnout?

“From the ashes of the burnout mac hines” is an exhibition project that highlights how individuals, societies and the environment are exploited and “burned out” by, among other things , an extractive and profit-oriented model of digitalization.The exhibi tion approaches digitalization not as an abstract or immaterial force , but as a condition that permeates infrastructures, ecologies, and social life. Burnout becomes a diagnostic lens through which to understand the c ontemporary moment: a state produced by regimes of extraction, acceleratio n and exhaustion that operate simultaneously on bodies, environments and t echnological systems.

To articulate this condition, the exhibition unfolds through a series of interrelated clusters that trace the material, ecological, social and speculative dimensions of what can be called c limate of burnout. These clusters are not discrete categories but ove rlapping fields of inquiry that reveal how digital infrastructures are emb edded within broader political, economic, and environmental processes. Tog ether, they challenge the dominant ideology of digitalization as frictionl ess progress, exposing instead its dependence on finite resources, invisib le labor and uneven distributions of harm.
