"Dark Pattern"

Starts: Fri, January 10, 2025
Ends: Sat, February 22, 2025

Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery is please to present Dark Matter, a solo show by Alex Dodge 01 PT.

Alex Dodge’s solo show at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery includes five new paintings made in the artist’s Tokyo studio. The show’s title references UX designer Harry Brignull’s term “Dark Patterns,” used to describe user interface designs that are intentionally deceptive, misleading, or manipulative. These works obliquely look to the ways that modern society and global capitalism use digital systems to both create connectivity and produce influence.
