“Prettiest Picture”

Generative audiovisual work shaped by Tezos + your device’s GPU.

More computation, more time, more cost → changes the artwork.

A direct encounter with the “material” of computation.

Transforming a samurai house into an instrument and performing live with it was 本当に the most MyFi thing. “tie the knot: the twilight years connect us” was like letting a slime mold loose at Filmfest Akizuki.

After the premier of our new video “tie the knot: the twilight years connect us” in Tashiro House, we closed out the film festival with a live performance. We turned Tashiro House on and opened all the sliding doors. The music and light seeped out of the house inviting nearby locals and kids to join and play. Our video and live performance contextualize Miami as a shared home for Nam June Paik and MyFi Studio. We build the computer systems that Nam June Paik predicted. The live performance was improvisational and the audience could watch us manipulate original footage in real time and sample music from our favorite spots: breakfast in Hakata, a Pachinko parlor in Oga, Konbinis, and arcades. We shared a tour of Nam June Paik’s apartment on Ocean Drive, archival documents of TV Miami (1990) from Seoul, new footage of Miami sights connected to MyFi’s family history, and some BTS of building our commissioned instruments inspired by Nam June Paik. There’s more but you’ll have to wait for the next screening or performance.

In the wooden room of Tashiro House, we built an ephemeral computer system featuring a digital feedback loop so visitors + the house itself could control the media. Tashiro House’s architecture and sliding doors cascade into patterns like a peacock fanning its feathers or a computer opening all its tabs at once...we set up 2 Honda generators to power our equipment in this former samurai house.

Enjoy this highlight reel by Peri + Gaku @ YOON

Thank you to the visionaries Hana + Hector that support our wild dreams and make them a reality in the special place of Akizuki!!

Mixed feeling about returning to the US today.

We screened 'tie the knot' at filmfest akizuki, and performed in Tashiro House. We turned Tashiro House into an ephemeral computer system. We built a system to render TV Miami in digital space. We spent time with people who care about us, and the things we're building. We walked, and walked and walked. We had so many lemon sours 'o futatsu.'

I'm sad to leave Japan, but equally: a) excited to return, and b) excited for all the things to work on before we return.

The only people who have seen our renderings of TV Miami, and our art about Nam June Paik in Miami are in Japan. We're thinking about an intentional way to show this work in Miami. In some ways I am happy that TV Miami will forever exist in Akizuki, and Miami is still waiting. It deserves this fate.

for the first time, live at Filmfest Akizuki, in Fukuoka, Japan.
We are screening our on-going video art piece on 9_27 + 9_28. We are building an ephemeral computer system for the former Tashiro Samurai Residence, turning the house into an instrument.
On 9_28 we perform from 5 PM - 7 PM. Live audio + visuals by us (@MyFiStudio)

tie the knot is an on-going piece centering Miami as a shared home for MyFi and Nam June Paik, who spent the last two decades of his life there. He predicted and made art about the computational systems we live on, while living + walking the same streets we grew up on. Part anti-documentary, part predictive documentary, part archival research.
🪢
Tie the knot was an opportunity for us to make more personal art, while also working on restoring the work of Paik. A topic we cover is our work on restoring Paik's "TV Miami" installation. Stay tuned for more media + stories.
