Crystal Cyborgs Come Alive at RINSED's NYE Blowout
Artist James Moore casts human faces—and skeletons—for RINSED's five-year anniversary NYE spectacular, which features Dinamo Azari, Jacques Greene, Morgan Geist, Parris Mitchell, and Todd Edwards.
If you party in Brooklyn, chances are you already know a thing or two about RINSED, the roving event that turns warehouses into immersive nightlife, music, and art experiences. Over the past five years, they've created pop-up parties ranging from intimate, 100-person soirees, to 1,500-person mega-blowouts, with the help of over 100 different musical and visual artists. In September, they gave us Disruptive Patterns, an "Anti-Fashion Week" event featuring performative installations, live projection mapping, and exclusive playing card invites. Now, to celebrate RINSED's five-year anniversary, they're teaming up with New York City-based artist, James Moore, to turn a secret space—a massive disused furniture warehouse in Bushwick—into what they call "a world where technology and humanity merge to form a Singularity."
