Entering the final weeks of “Beyond Digital” at Pratt Manhattan Gallery on 14th Street and we are highlighting the work of Pratt Digital Arts alum Nicolás Cuestas!

Working across translucent textiles, reflective surfaces, and projected imagery, Nicolás Cuestas constructs spatial systems that remain in a constant state of negotiation—hovering between simulation and fabrication, presence and dissolution.

Central to this practice is the river—not simply as a subject, but as a form of intelligence. In projects such as his river-based installations, flowing systems become both structure and metaphor, embodying networks of movement, contamination, and exchange. These river forms, often rendered through reflective acrylic or suspended textiles, evoke both cartographic precision and organic flux, positioning the landscape as an active, living system rather than a passive resource.

Visit Pratt Manhattan Gallery to learn more about this artist’s work, and all of the Pratt Digital Arts alumni in “Beyond Digital”, curated by Elena Soterakis. This exhibition closes Sept. 5, 2026.

“Beyond Digital” at Pratt Manhattan Gallery, curated by Elena Soterakis, highlights the work of a select group of Pratt Digital Arts alumni and we are thrilled to focus on Taezoo Park’s work today!

At the core of Taezoo Park’s practice is the concept of the “Digital Being”—an original philosophical and ontological framework through which discarded technologies are reimagined as entities capable of generating emergent, organic behavior. Working with obsolete electronics—particularly CRT televisions—he transforms technological remnants into responsive environments that evolve through interaction. As these systems activate, they begin to visually resemble foliage or branching structures, as if technological matter were reorganizing itself according to bio- logical logics. These works resist the narrative of seamless technological progress, foregrounding fragility, decay, and transformation as generative conditions.

Experience the work of Taezoo Park in our current exhibition, Monday through Saturday, 11am-6pm, now through September 5!

Identity within ecological and mythic systems
Nate King’s practice unfolds through collage,
animation, performance, and digital compositing,
constructing mythic and deeply embodied visual
worlds. Working painstakingly frame by frame, he
develops fluid environments where physical and
digital materials converge—fragments cut, layered,
and recombined into living, composite landscapes.

Rooted in his experience of Appalachia, King’s
work engages landscape as both spiritual terrain
and quiet resistance. Drawing from q***r ecol-
ogy, he situates the body within this terrain—not
as observer, but as participant—foregrounding
the presence of q***r life within regions where it
often remains unseen.

Come see more of Nate King’s work in “Beyond Digital,” curated by Elena Soterakis, at Pratt Manhattan Gallery of 14th Street! We are open Monday through Saturday, so stop by today or tomorrow and beat the heat! “Beyond Digital” is on view through Sept. 5.

Continuing our highlight of the Pratt Digital Arts alumni featured in “Beyond Digital” at Pratt Manhattan Gallery on 14th Street, we are thrilled to share the work of Karolina Rojas!

Rojas interrogates how knowledge about nonhuman life is constructed, preserved, and circulated. At the center of her practice is the bird—native to the extraordinarily biodiverse ecosystems of her home country, Colombia, and yet so often lost to collisions with glass, casualties
of an invisible architecture of harm embedded within the built environment. From this specific and material loss, her work expands outward into broader questions of classification, care, and ecological responsibility.

Visit Pratt Manhattan Gallery to see more! The gallery is open Monday through Saturday, from 11am to 6pm. Pratt Manhattan Gallery is free and open to the public.

Tess Adams is a New York-based artist and creative technologist working across digital tools and traditional photography, merging the two through hybrid processes. Through abstracted and fragmented imagery with strong sensory qualities, her work explores perception, embodiment, and the translation of computational imagery into sensory and material form.

Come visit Pratt Manhattan Gallery on 14th Street to see more of Tess Adams’s work in our current exhibition, “Beyond Digital: Living Systems and Distributed Intelligence,” curated by Elena Soterakis. This exhibition is on view now through September 5.
