Cartridge explores memory with the intersection of abstract painting and video games; aiming to highlight the form of the video game cartridge and allow the viewer to reconsider the object for its beauty and its memory-based abilities. The cartridge stores memory, in the form of data. It also creates memories in the minds of the player. It also reactivates those memories as a form of nostalgia - a time in the world before CDs, before the internet and before streaming. For me, I imagine that the cartridge is a physical key to unlock memories of a magical virtual world.
