Brooklyn, New York - Dec 2024
DTHRR is a new media exhibit featuring digital sculptures, immersive installations, and audio/visual works by artists Armon Naeini (Entroplay) and Usman Jamil (Vohua Mana). Part of Et al., the Sights & Sounds sub-series that spotlights individual visual or auditory components for focused exploration, the exhibit delves into the art of dithering—a technique in print and Risograph that uses halftone dots to create gradients and textures. In the digital realm, dithering mimics this by blending colors through intricate patterns of light, bridging physical and virtual aesthetics.
Grand opening was held in Secret Riso Club on December 17th, 2024 from 7:00 to 11:00pm. On view until Jan 10th.
