Error Currency is a visually impactful and critical 3D animated video artwork that uses the currency symbol of a one-hundred-dollar bill as a canvas.
The work incorporates contemporary social issues such as consumer culture, addiction, false promises, and information overload, creating a scene of digital surrealism that is both absurd and unsettling.
The visual core is a distorted banknote saturated with digital errors and glitches. Rather than simply imitating currency, the work uses 3D technology and cyberpunk aesthetics to transform the bill into a battlefield of information and desire.

Text fragment
- Man, I love chewing gum!
- All flavors, I like to chew two at a time, sometimes three.
- Quitting chewing gum is so easy, but when the dopamine started to fade, my life became empty and boring again.
- Thanks to modern technology, I have found a delicate balance in my life. What a wonderful life!
