Rev. Luke Murphy is an information-based artist whose work is united by common themes drawn from the impossible task of quantifying the elements of the psyche and spirit. The work's failure to deliver what they ostensibly promise is at once menacing and reassuring.
Rev. Luke Murphy was born in 1963 in Boston, MA. He graduated with an MFA from SUNY Purchase after completing his BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and a BS from the University of Toronto. He is the co-director of cabinetmagazine.org and Vice President of Web Development at MTV Network.
Murphy's talk will accompany his installation, "The Twelfth Gate, Reflected" at Pace Digital Gallery. http://www.lukelab.com
Marcin Ramocki is interested in the computer as a source of non-linearity, either generative, random or interactive. His interest is specifically in building metaphors through software.
Marcin Ramocki was born in 1972 in Krakow, Poland. He received his BA from Dartmouth College and MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. Currently Marcin lives and works in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and teaches Digital Media at Jersey City University. He is also a founder and curator of vertexList art space in Brooklyn. http://www.ramocki.net

More Fog Rolls in
Some images from the last of the fog fakery this week, and my last hikes (for now) through the woods surrounding Dufftown. Four more sleeps till Brooklyn…






The Fog
Starting new work, which I’ve been wanting to shoot for ages. Just worked out the details, locations, and the weather is finally (on April 4th) warm enough to linger outside without full Arctic gear. Here are some stills from the footage of two days filming.
The Fog…








New drawing… snapshots…
I completed a drawing this week that features all the ghostly masked figures in Valley of the Deer. Yet to be titled and photographed properly. These are studio details…
Drawing is 88″ X 29.5″ or 224cm X 75cm.

VALLEY OF THE DEER
“Canadian video artist Jillian McDonald spent much of the past year as ‘artist in residence’ at Glenfiddich Distillery, in the highlands of Scotland. As a Burns’ Night tribute to both Art and Whisky, IDEAS host Paul Kennedy visits her in Dufftown, and watches while she makes single-malted art.”
