+ Kayla Mattes: Reboot > Reweave > Repeat (Closing Exhibition)

  • California Center for the Arts Museum 340 North Escondido Boulevard Escondido, CA, 92025 United States (map)

Tickets starting at $12; includes year-long admission to museum

Los Angeles-based artist Kayla Mattes’s vibrant, handwoven tapestries explore the aesthetics and language of the internet age. Mattes, known for combining traditional weaving techniques with digital visual culture, creates richly layered works that merge pixelated graphics, online interactions, and everyday digital detritus with tactile, analog craft.

Mattes weaves together memes, emoji vocabularies, browser windows, pop-ups, and other digital culture references into material narratives that reflect her ongoing interest in the absurdities of online communication and the flatness of digital affect. Full of color, texture, and rhythmic patterning, Mattes’s tapestries function as spaces where humor, anxiety, and nostalgia collide.
