Throw Blankets

Scarves

Throw Pillow Covers

Textiles designed for the digital age. Each collection features a visual expression of a unique algorithmic process, weaving the story of our lives in the age of the Internet.

DNA from actual viruses is encoded in big pixel mosaics.

Algorithms used to sort and manipulate data are used to rearrange and abstract images, pushing, smearing, and fragmenting pixels.

Binary data from blockchain technologies, critical system files and memory dumps is rendered into patterns at once traditional, and irrational.

Deep Dream Machine Learning algorithms create phantasmagoric hallucinations.

Digital Cameras are physically modified, short circuited to produce abstract distortions.

For those who live with the internet, these textile housewares are the perfect accent for your abode.

Illustrations by Rune Fisker

Growing up in the flat countryside of Denmark, Rune spent most of his time drawing with and on whatever he could find. Now, many years later, Rune runs his own animation company Benny Box along with his brother Esben. Whenever Rune is not animating or drawing storyboards, he is working as an artist and illustrator on a mixture of commercial and personal projects. Runes abstract, surrealist style plays with geometries, line, and tone. The result is subconscious scenes where characters of distorted proportions entangle with phantom scenes hinged between fiction and reality.

Animated Artwork & Collage from The Singing Canary

Matthieu Bourel is a collage and digital artist whose work veers uneasily from nostalgia to technological dystopia. Bourel combines traditional cut and paste collage techniques with digital editing, digital animation, and even sound design to create a body of work that blurs the distinction between illustration, graphic design and art installation.

Bourel describes his work as “data-ism” and the reference to the original Dada movement of the early twentieth century is more than a play on words. Like his Dadaist precursors, Bourel delights in creating shocking juxtapositions, ironic distance and high-brow/low-brow mash-ups. Georgie Magazine

De-Selfing // Hsin Wang 

Hsin Wang is a Taiwanese fine art photographer based in Brooklyn. Hsin is noted for using muted color palette, graphics, and manipulation of negative space. Statement from Hsin:

I have been using my photography to create a visual representation of my feelings about romantic relationships, called De-Selfing.

After a major break up, I deeply believed that if I didn’t transform myself into a more likable woman, there would be no more happiness in my life. So I started to dispose of everything that defined the old “me”-things I did, said, and even believed. I chose to “de-self” myself in order to please potential romantic partners.

Creating the images in De-Selfing has been a therapeutic process for me. Since starting the project, I have picked myself up piece by piece, gotten my confidence back, and been able to hear my own voice again.

Jean-Michel Basquiat and the borough of Brooklyn are inextricably linked. Born in Brooklyn Hospital to a Haitian immigrant father and a mother of Puerto Rican descent, Basquiat grew up eagerly reading texts in French, Spanish and English, and visiting Museums around the city—including “The Brooklyn”, where at the age of six he became a Junior Member. This is the final week to see Basquiat’s exceptional painting Untitled (1982) on view here in his hometown. This spotlight presentation honors the local hero that inspires Brooklynites and global audience alike.

Get up close with One Basquiat through Sunday, March 11.
