Join us for an after-hours exhibition celebration that brings Designing the Infinite: Virtual Worldbuilding in Art & Gaming and Kayla Mattes’s solo exhibition, Reboot > Reweave > Repeat, to life through sound, light, and play. The evening will feature live DJ sets, a bar and light bites, and immersive moments throughout the galleries.

Designing the Infinite brings together contemporary artists working across digital media, gaming, and immersive environments to examine how virtual worlds function as sites for storytelling, experimentation, and collective imagination. Presented alongside this exhibition, Kayla Mattes’s work explores the visual language of the internet through handwoven textiles that translate digital imagery into tactile form, bridging craft and contemporary digital culture.

The evening also coincides with an open studio for Artist-in-Residence Farshid Bazmandegan. Visitors are invited to visit the artist’s studio to view works in progress and learn more about an ongoing project that engages themes of memory and displacement. Bazmandegan’s residency work will continue to develop toward its presentation in the Museum’s 2025–26 Artist-in-Residence exhibition.

This event is free and open to the public.
