The product of Murata’s trademark DIY high tech vocabulary, these contemporary still lives conjure at once Pixar’s Toy Story, Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory, the online 3D game Phosphor Beta 2. Using the Open Source model of production, Murata creates digital pictorial spaces hovering between waking life and the dream world, i.e. Without access to a Hollywood animation studio, Murata relies on a shared knowledge from the online community including You Tube tutorials. The objects have either been immaculately sculpted through computer programs or purchased as ready-mades from 3D web malls. His images display the technological innovations that invade our 21st century lives: sports drinks, antidepressants, Apple products, brand-name snacks, and exercise equipment. The Pigment and Mounting departments at Laumont worked closely with Murata to produce large-scale prints of his digital compositions for this exhibition. “Synthesizers” opens this Thursday, September 13th, with a reception from 6-9pm at Salon 94 Bowery in New York. It is with great pleasure that we announce the most recent solo exhibition for video and digital artist, Takeshi Murata.
