Tomorrow is the opening reception for our new show “Like everything alive that we try to hold forever,” curated by Elizabeth Diggon, Naomi Potter, and Shauna Thompson. The exhibition is organized by Esker Foundation and produced as a traveling exhibition by Independent Curators International (ICI). Funding for the exhibition tour has been provided by the generous support from ICI’s International Forum and the ICI Board of Trustees.

“Like everything alive that we try to hold forever” brings together seven artists whose works, in a broad sense, reflect ways that our human bodies exist in relation to non-human objects and the complex, interconnected ways that these objects, through their systemic collection, consumption, and contextualization, impact our understanding of self and others.

The works here address our psychosocial relationships to materiality, responding to the embedded identities, biases, and harms entrenched within science, technology, and museological collections that are often cloaked under the guise of logical neutrality. Through a constellation of approaches, the exhibition draws parallels between these realities, presenting objects and avatars as channels that access the limits of human experience, push against it, or gesture toward a transhuman future.

Featuring artists:
Larry Achiampong & David Blandy
Diane Borsato
Stephanie Dinkins
Bridget Moser
Sondra Perry
Miya Turnbull

🗓️ Opening Reception: Thursday, September 24 | 6-8PM

It’s the final day of “Beyond Digital” at Pratt Manhattan Gallery on 14th Street! Thank you to the incredible artists, all Pratt Digital Arts alumni, for your participation. We are especially grateful to curator Elena Soterakis for her time and effort putting this exhibition together!

Elena Soterakis is an artist, curator, and co-founder and director of BioBAT Art Space—an interdisciplinary nonprofit exhibition space and experimental research laboratory embedded within a biotechnology incubator at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Since founding BioBAT in 2019, she has built a platform where artists, scientists, and researchers work in collaborative dialogue, producing exhibitions and programs that engage ecological, technological, and planetary questions.

Her practice sits at the intersection of biological systems, technology, and civic infrastructure, positioning art as a form of active research rather than illustration. Through this work she advances bioart and experimental design as serious modes of inquiry—opening new ground between disciplines.

The gallery is open today until 6pm, so please come see this engaging group exhibition before it is gone!

It is the final two days of our Pratt Digital Arts alumni exhibition “Beyond Digital,” curated by Elena Soterakis, and we are thrilled to highlight the work of Ruyin Tsai!

What happens when scientists turn to artists to better understand and communicate their own data? Ruyin Tsai and Jung-Shang Chang’s collaboration begins there—commissioned by Dr. Daniel Harsono at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, who sought artistic intuition as a means of making astrophysical models of planetary formation newly perceptible. The work that emerged is not illustration but interpretation: a genuine research partnership in which art becomes a tool for scientific thinking.

Working through the tradition of Japanese ink painting, Chang produces hand-painted compositions that Tsai animates, transforming scientific data into fluid, evolving visual fields. Tsai’s animations render vast temporal scales perceptible within a durational, immersive environment, where planetary formation unfolds as a dynamic, organic process. The sound extends this translation—an ambient, synthesizer-based composition that builds from quiet atmospheric tones into moments of tension and expansion before stabilizing, mirroring the processes of formation and equilibrium within the universe itself.

Come see this incredible piece before the show closes! Pratt Manhattan Gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Saturday, 11am-6pm, including tomorrow, Sept. 5!

We are in the final week of “Beyond Digital,” curated by Elena Soterakis, at Pratt Manhattan Gallery on 14th Street! Need another reason to see this show of Pratt Digital Arts alumni?! Come see the work of Caroline Voagen Nelson!

Through sculpture, animation, and installation, Caroline Voagen Nelson examines currency as a dynamic reflection of broader ecological and social processes—unstable, contingent, and rooted in extractive histories.

In “Change for a Ride,” a suspended landscape of repurposed takeout containers hosts projected animations of currencies—from shells and salt to early
coinage and digital forms such as cryptocurrency and attention economies—moving cyclically through systems of exchange.

The work is both seductive and critical: glossy, spectacle-driven surfaces evoke consumer culture while the underlying structure exposes the instability of value itself. What circulates here is not simply money but the ecological and industrial transformations that made it possible—value revealed as something produced by the very systems that produce it.

Come see this work in person, along with the work of the other artists in this show, but act quickly because the exhibition closes on Saturday! Pratt Manhattan Gallery is open Monday through Saturday, 11am-6pm. Pratt Manhattan Gallery is always free and open to the public.

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.
