Fans of both Diesel and FELT Zine experienced an envelope-pushing evening of activations including an augmented reality t-shirt, virtual reality, and experimental digital animation projections including:

  • An exclusive capsule collection of FELT Zine x Diesel shirts that featured AR graphics when viewed through a phone’s camera, allowing the pieces to come to life in a digital art context.
  • An audiovisual virtual reality experience that transported partygoers from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to a digital island oasis.

“DJ sets by MNDSGN and Sadhu Gold, lit up the atmosphere as digital art films played during their respective sets. Duckwrth, whose highly anticipated EP The Falling Man was just released headlined the party while dressed in an open Diesel Blue Flannel shirt, with Black leather white and yellow detailing and caramel python boots. His set featured a special appearance by Kiana Ledé who is featured on his track “Nobody Falls.”
