When Digital Art Meets Community: DigiAna Matsuri
DigiAna Matsuri can only be described as a communistic ceremonial gathering of the arts. Everyone involved worked hard to make this communal event, celebrating talented New York artists, a success.

Blink Twice: An Augmented Reality Exhibition at The Hudson Eye
Blink Twice explores the threshold between the visible and invisible, between what’s physically present and digitally conjured. Through Augmented Reality (AR) layered on digital art prints, each work comes alive when the viewer chooses to look again. This exhibition, the first of its kind in Hudson, is an invitation to reconsider the limits of perception in a world increasingly shaped by what we cannot touch. Curated by Digital Arts Blog founder, Cansu Peker, for The Hudson Eye Festival.
