Artist Biography:
Michael Takeo Magruder is an American artist based in the UK
who works within the fields of New and Interactive
Media. He received his formal education at the University of
Virginia, USA, graduating with distinction in
Biological Sciences.
For the past eight years his artistic practice has reflected
upon society's data-driven and information-saturated
existence through the examination of international news communications.
By recombining the notions of art
and media, he has analysed interconnections between the individual
and the pervasive media network; a
questioning of product vs. process, knowledge vs. stimulation,
fact vs. perspective.
His artistic production has been exhibited worldwide and encompasses
an eclectic mix of forms, ranging from
futuristic stained-glass windows, digital lightscreens and modular
light-sculptures to architectural
manipulations, ephemeral video projections and interactive network
installations. His current explorations and
research embrace 3D stereoscopic projection, immersive multi-sensory
environments and interactive non-linear
narratives for network/gallery settings. His work in these fields
is presently supported by Turbulence.org, 3D
Visualisation Group: University of Warwick and Arts Council
England.
