2026 Head Hi Lamp Show 💡
May 8th. & 9th. NYC

Head Hi is pleased to announce the date & participants of the upcoming Head Hi Lamp Show. The 6th edition, which received hundreds of international submissions in its open call, will be held at BOOM at The Standard, High Line —a legendary cultural site and part of New York City’s late-night lore—from May 8-9, 2026, a kick-off just before the NYCxDESIGN Festival.

Since its inception in 2019, the Head Hi Lamp Show has become a global platform for collective imagination, participation, and experimentation with light, design, and materials now occurring biennially (every two years) and organized by Head Hi founders—curator Alexandra Hodkowski and artist Alvaro Alcocer.
For the first time ever, Head Hi invited a curatorial collaborator, founder of NY design gallery Superhouse Stephen Markos, to participate in the selection.

Keeping true to the organization’s ability to showcase newness in their experiential programs, Alexandra and Alvaro have carefully selected the BOOM at The Standard, High Line for the exhibition / happening.

Join us for breathtaking views of New York City and a lively opening Friday, May 8, 7-11pm featuring music by Head Hi friends, musicians & DJs and musicians 🎵 high above Manhattan all lit up ⚡️

Next day, Saturday May 9th viewing 12:00pm-10:00pm.
Lamp Show Tour with the Curators (dets on website)
Music ~ sundown to 10pm

We look forward to continuing to celebrate our universal relationship to light, design and creative expression. These objects (made by Lampers from different parts of the world) have the ability to change our spatial understanding and tone our immediate atmosphere.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see & experience the most awaited NY Design Week event. The 6th Head Hi 💡 Lamp Show 🗽 Link in bio.

big thanks to @fkialmostforgot for inviting me to show at Toolish Behavior, an exhibition about unusual tools, technologies, and processes used to make creative work, on display now at the Clive Davis Gallery.

thanks too to @phil_in_a_can, who suggested the method I used to make it all work. im very interested in where machines meet handcrafts, and plan to keep tinkering with this - ultimately i’d like to hook it up directly to a motor so i have more control over timing.

in the meantime, come check it out along with the work of @dullhouze, @juliamargaret__, @surajbarthy, and other creative genius pals through October 24th.

a summer of sharing art and being on stage and celebrating my friends; a comprehensive list of very embarrassing things:

1. singing happy birthday to ben in utah
2. talking to strangers at the hirshorn
3. learning to blacksmith
4. eating hot dogs
5. a non embarrassing cat interlude
6. smelling your friends
7. giving a talk to people who are a lot smarter than you
8. exhibiting at the nyc resistor show
9. pondering
10. renewing severely overdue library books
11. dancing on stage in front of a packed crowd
12. making silly ppt presentations & learning to say goodbye

….which is to say none of this is embarrassing at all, and that i love my friends deeply and dearly and so proud of them for the things they did this summer!

this also is backtracked by duncan moving away forever, to which i’m so sad but grateful for our collaborations and conversations and i will miss him very much!!

We're excited to share that our crowdfunding campaign is now live for a project we've been building for the past few months. It’s a compilation of 10 algorithmic music tracks created by artists from the Algorave India community, paired with 10 generative zines by visual artists from the code.drift collective.

We’re raising funds to support the release—this includes producing USB editions, printing zines, and covering artist fees and distribution. If you've ever wanted to support experimental art, now’s a great time.

LINK IN BIO

Algorave India is a collective promoting programming as performance art. Since 2018, Algorave India has organized concerts, workshops, and experiments in live-coded music.

code.drift is a collective exploring creative coding through playful urban exploration, generative sound & design practices, and shared learning.
