He sees LED screens as part of the landscape, and although these light panels are intended to be selling machines, Murphy views them as <strong>beautiful<\/strong>, chatty companions, so he uses them as his primary medium, undermining their form and function.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;MURPHY&#8217;S . . . interventions (placed) throughout the Museum are interruptions to the norm. His work questions whether our interaction with screens are the <strong>real<\/strong> experience and art is simply just the content of the experience. He is interested in exposing the materiality of technology because there is such  an effort to hide the material<strong> nature <\/strong> of tech to achieve total seamlessness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Organized by Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art<br \/>\nCurated by JULIE GANAS, curator of engagement and digital initiatives.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>note:<\/strong> all above quotes &#8211; are from, &#038; please read full statement:<a href=\"https:\/\/smoca.org\/exhibition\/interventions-luke-murphy\/\"> <strong>SMoCA &#8211; LUKE MURPHY EXHIBIT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> the animated, text-based \/ digital &#8220;LED DELI BANNER&#8221; &#8211; &#8216;RESIST&#8217;,<br \/>\nthat runs across the top of this page &#8211; is also by LUKE MURPHY.<\/p>\n<p><strong>see: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/lukelab.com\/\">LUKE MURPHY \/ lukelab.com &#8211; ARTIST<br \/>\nPORTFOLIO<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>see<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lukemurphy49\/?hl=en\">LUKE MURPHY INSTAGRAM \/ @lukemurphy49 <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Luke-Murphy-LED-video-Instagram.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Luke-Murphy-LED-video-Instagram.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"634\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Luke-Murphy-LED-video-Instagram.jpg 555w, https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Luke-Murphy-LED-video-Instagram-263x300.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#038; watch this, you . . .  neon-colored, but cold, cold &#8211; heart !!<br \/>\n<strong>see:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CUvIKqVglQV\/\">&#8216;You&#8217;ve Been Lonesome, Too&#8217; \/ WIP &#8211; LUKE MURPHY, RECENT VIDEO \/ IG<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>watch out . . . . . !!!! you. you . . . cold, cold heart. &#8216;Pixel-by-Pixel: Interventions by LUKE MURPHY&#8217; OCT 30, 2021 &#8211; APRIL 10, 2022 SMoCA &#8211; Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art 7374 East Second Street, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251 more: LUKE MURPHY &#8211; SMoCA LUKE MURPHY, &#8216;Monument to the Glitch (Tower 3)&#8217;, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43942"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43942"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43956,"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43942\/revisions\/43956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
