Hyper-Objects: Brenna Murphy Meditates on Digital Ruins

Stepping into a type of future-present, DAMN° had a private conversation with artist Brenna Murphy in February of this year, in an attempt to dissect the elements that comprise her art works and to discover what these mean, both individually and as a whole. Inherent in Murphy’s oeuvre is a reference to a post-Internet paradigm, while simultaneously the universal issues the works deal with also partially apply to a pre-Internet society. Murphy’s research focuses on developing techniques for exploring and expanding the framework that shapes human consciousness and reality; thus, on eternal issues that have existed long before Internet, and will continue to exist.
