Early life and education
editMurphy 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]
Works
editHer 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]
