AN ORCHESTRATION OF SOUND AND FORM.
MATTE took over Brooklyn’s Knockdown Center for two days to host our tentpole experience, MATTE Black, providing guests with another unforgettable synthesis of underground music and contemporary installation art.
DJ PERFORMANCES
MATTE brought together a number of DJs including Peggy Gou, Marcel Dettmann, Heron Preston, AceMoma, Tammy Lakkis, Paurro, Hank Korsan and Amelia Holt.
VISUAL ARTISTS
404.ZERO (RU), Iván Navarro (CL), Jacolby Satterwhite (US), and Benjamin Gordon (AU) – four artists from diverging global socio-political contexts united in their interrogation of our material world through new media, technologies and algorithms. Shifts in scale, surface and experience offered new doors for perception.
BENJAMIN GORDON LIVE PERFORMANCE
On the event’s second day, Benjamin Gordon delivered a live set consisting of feedback loops that collapses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and ancient iconography displayed on an overhead LED screen.
IRL <> URL
MATTE Black served as launch for a series of web3 based projects that connected on-chain and off-chain, building connectivity across MATTE ecosystem.
MERCH

BLACK CARD
The Black Card is an all-access membership to the MATTE ecosystem – IRL, URL, and everything in between. Card holders will get SVIP to all future MATTE experiences, access to member monthly dinners, exclusive programming, and deals with our brand partners.
