From speculative role-play to secret Discord interventions, the final 🥒 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘 @ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗜𝗟𝗟 of the season blurred the boundaries between digital and physical space 💻🎭

For the final DiLL of the 2025–26 season, artist-educator Fereshteh Toosi invited participants to step into speculative realities through live-action role-playing games exploring surveillance, digital systems, and the blurred boundaries between online and offline life. Through improvisation and collective play, the workshop opened up thoughtful conversations about how invisible technologies shape the way we move through the world.

The night concluded with Roxana Barba’s participatory performance secret group chat (beta test), transforming the DiLL into a live social experiment activated through movement, projection, and a secret Discord channel unfolding in real time.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this season to experiment, question, play, and imagine new digital futures together. Presented as part of the Digital Innovation Initiative at Locust Projects. Refreshments courtesy of + .

: Congratulations to B0YG1RL (), 2025 Locust Projects WaveMaker Grantee, on “Little Haiti” being selected as Pitchfork’s Best New Track - listen now on Spotify and Apple Music!✨

In their review, Pitchfork described the track as “all the life-or-death romanticism of a classic Haitian love song,” praising how the Miami-based duo transforms kompa’s “gooey percussive sway and kitschy electronica” into something “distorted” and “ethereal.”

We’re thrilled to see B0YG1RL receiving this well-deserved recognition and proud to celebrate them as part of the Locust Projects family.

WaveMaker incubator grants at Locust Projects are made possible by The Andy for the Visual Arts’ Regional Regranting Program, a network of 36 regranting partners across the country.
