Bayer 8 · Booth · Day

Black pixels on white — fractional Brownian noise quantised to binary by Bayer's ordered dithering. At distance, a digital halftone. Up close, a precise grid of black squares. Made for the screen-lit set, and the venue with a wall of LEDs.

The pattern

This print starts with the same FBM noise that drives our Topo series — fractional Brownian motion, generated in greyscale. Bayer's ordered dithering then converts it to binary: each pixel compared against an 8×8 threshold matrix, then drawn black or white. The algorithm came out of Kodak's labs in the early 1970s, alongside the first computational drawings. Organic in shape, digital in execution.

The shirt

• All-over print on lightweight stretch fabric
• 96% polyester, 4% spandex · 120 gsm
• Open collar, short sleeve, button front
• Breathable, wrinkle-resistant, no ironing
• Slim cut — size up for a relaxed fit
• Printed and made to order

Fit and styling

The slim cut sits close to the body. Size up one for a relaxed fit, two for boxy. The stretch fabric carries through long sets and dries fast when the dancing gets serious. Bleeds into grey under LED wash; the pixels surface in daylight.

Care

• Wash inside out, cold, separately
• Hang to dry
• No iron needed
