loackme

About

loackme is a French generative artist currently based in Amsterdam. After completing his PhD in Statistics and working as a researcher for some time, he made the decision to leave academia in 2018 and pursue his passion for digital art and graphic design. loackme's artistic practice is characterised by his love for monochrome and geometric designs, as well as animated loops. Amongst other things, he’s a self-professed 'dither enthusiast', using various dithering algorithms to create the illusion of a wide range of colours (or shades of grey) from a limited palette. The strong aesthetics and constraints associated with these algorithms are a constant source of inspiration for him.

Playgrounds

solo show at Galerie Met, Berlin, Germany — april 2026

Playgrounds brings together three years of algorithmic tinkering, reframing coding not just as a tool, but as a playful mode of creative inquiry. Across three distinct series, the exhibition subverts digital techniques—from broken 3D rendering formulas to extreme JPEG compression—to transform mathematical errors and digital decay into striking aesthetic material.
