This exhibition was made in collaboration with the artist Charlie Donaldson. Here Harvie and Donaldson devised a global conspiracy theory named "memory foam" and created an installation to showcase the evidence. The installation featured a blue foam tiled interior, various found objects serving as 'evidence', and a photo collage displaying online images spread across the entirely of the gallery walls. The artists used a red marker drawing connections on the walls between images visualsing a web of conspiracy that runs through popular culture, geopolitics, and the artist's personal lives. Throughout the exhibition, Harvie and Donaldson resided in the gallery space, constantly creating new images and refining their found evidence.
