Huge thanks to everyone who came to @galerie_met last night for the "Playgrounds" opening. It was a joy to share the work and talk through the process behind it all.

Installation view and detail of 🜊 from the series Breaking Point by @loackme On view until April 25. Dithering was developed to approximate gradients and continuous tones within the constraints of limited colour palettes — a workaround born from the demands of early print and computing. It operates by distributing pixels across a grid according to a matrix that governs the pattern of approximation. Here, those matrices are swapped for unconventional alternatives, pulling the algorithm away from its intended purpose. Applied to solid backgrounds, simple gradients and geometric shapes, they generate something else entirely: intricate black-and-white patterns that, in places, dissolve into noise. 🜊, 2024 PNG, 758x1072 px, upscaled to 3790x5360 px 1/1 🜊, 2024 Archival print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth 29.7 x 42 cm, hand-signed Unique - #loackme #genart #galeriemet

Installation views of Topology of Loss @loackme ’s solo exhibition Playgrounds. On view until April 25. Each work in this series begins with raw fractal noise and is put through a repetitive cycle of resizing and extreme JPEG compression. The codec, designed to discard visual information deemed imperceptible, starts producing characteristic block artifacts and distortions when pushed well beyond its intended range. After each recompression, a fresh layer of noise is reintroduced at partial opacity. Artifacts accumulate into a dense, fragmented image surface. Colour cycling and dithering are then used to animate the resulting image, revealing what the codec and rescaling leave behind. The series comprises both animated artworks and prints. loackme: Playgrounds April 04, 2026 – April 25, 2026 Mariannenstrasse 33, 10999 Berlin - #loackme #genart #galeriemet
