Prema Murthy

Prema Murthy for the completion of Flicker, a video installation and performance. Her work examines the shifting boundaries of a gendered/socially constructed body by remapping its surface through various forms of new technologies. Flicker, inspired by a 1998 news story of seizures caused by TV strobe effects, utilizes monitored brainwaves as MIDI controllers. The resulting patterns control sounds in such a way as to physically affect the audience. She is a core member of Fakeshop in Brooklyn where the piece will be exhibited in the spring or fall of 1999.
