Brenna Murphy (born 1986) is an American artist based in Portland, Oregon.
Murphy was born in 1986 in Edmonds, Washington. [1] She holds a BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art. In 2014 Murphy spent a five-month creative residency at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in New York. [2] [3]
Her works combine digital and physical input, combining psychedelic visual forms with three-dimensional objects. [4] [5] Murphy's work has been called strange, but with an "uncanny familiarity." [6] Murphy thinks of herself as a channel that mediates between the digital and the physical. She privileges neither the physical nor the virtual and her sculptures are models of her net-based works as much as her net-based works are models of her sculptures. [7]
Her exhibition Liquid Vehicle Transmitters appeared at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, CA in 2013. [8] The exhibit featured prints and physical representations of her internet-based work, forming "an interactive arena of labyrinthine sculptures". [8] An auxiliary installation featured the audiovisual work of MSHR, her collaboration with Birch Cooper. Her work has been exhibited online via the New Museum [9] and in group shows including This is what sculpture looks like, at the Postmasters Gallery in New York City. [10]
Her work has been collected in the book Domain~Lattice. [11]
