Takeshi Murata makes mesmerizing digital animations that are intended to sensually transport the viewer. Liquified color spills across the screen, blobs ripple in a constant psychedelic flux, or appropriated film fragments glitch out, decompose and re-form. In Murata's collaborations with musician Robert Beatty (Three Legged Race), a pulsing or drone-like soundtrack intensifies the experience. Tonight the two share the stage, presenting their work in three acts. First Beatty performs solo, followed by a screening of Murata's videos. Finally, the two appear together for a new audio-visual performance conceived for this event, which is co-sponsored by Conversations at the Edge and the intermedia non-profit Lampo.
