Quipmeld does not ship. We burn. A ROM is a haiku with a checksum; a sticker is a manifesto with adhesive; a scanline is a ruler that lies 240 times a second. The work is not designed — it is soldered, labeled, and left blinking until the tube warms up.

Scanline Glue

We take two dead cabinets, cross their sync lines, and watch which sprite survives. The collision is the piece. A health bar made of torn ticket stubs. A boss that is just a blown capacitor humming in time. Nothing renders; everything blinks.

Sticker Melt

Vinyl over vinyl over vinyl. Peel one and the one under is already a decade older, already someone else's joke. The collage is not composed; it is accreted. A neon magenta band-aid on a 1986 demo cover on a tax form on fire.

Coin Return

The token you dropped comes back as a different token. The machine owes you nothing and yet the solenoid kicks. We build that moment: the metallic clunk that means the game decided to continue you anyway. Credit is a feeling, not a counter.
