Damani Kofi Adadevoh (b. 1993) is a Jersey City-based tech artist, designer, and curator whose lifelong fascination with visual media and technology shapes his work. As a child, his love for iconic 90s TV shows like Power Rangers, Elmo, and Barney was so profound that his mother often found him squinting against the family’s tube TV. At just three years old, he received his first pair of glasses, marking the beginning of his journey in viewing the world through lenses and frames. This early experience ignited his passion for exploring perception and interaction with our surroundings.
Today, Damani channels this passion into his artistry, utilizing various technologies to capture the physical world through camera lenses and innovative scanning techniques. His work challenges perceptions and pushes the boundaries of what’s possible, focusing on cutting-edge digital tools in 3D modeling, scanning, motion capture, VFX, and digital fabrication. His goal is to create art that inspires others to explore creative technology.
As a self-described nerd with advanced skills in 3D scanning, Damani has collaborated with universities, design firms, and artists across the greater New York area, providing high-resolution 3D scan assets. His impressive roster of clients includes Bella Hadid, A$AP Ferg, MSCHF, Julianne Moore, Dane Dehaan, El-P (Run The Jewels), and 100gecs.
In addition to his artistic endeavors, Damani is an expert in the 3D printing industry, specializing in rapid prototyping, jewelry manufacturing, and reverse engineering. He runs a business called Jersey City 3D Services and serves as a brand ambassador for Shining 3D, a Chinese scanner manufacturer, as well as the mobile app Trnio+.
In his free time, Damani draws inspiration from a diverse array of genres and artists, including MF Doom, Rod Serling, Richard Prince, Daido Moriyama, Langston Hughes, John Singleton, 80s/90s horror, and vintage or forgotten technologies.
