Artnet's Jiayin Chen: The Most Interesting Digital-Art Experiments of 2023

Between Two Worlds: In conversation with AA Murakami

Between Two Worlds

‘Between Two Worlds’ is a new generative artwork based on AA Murakami’s physical Neon Sun artworks and Fog Paintings.

Applying the Yamoto ratio (aka silver ratio) favoured in Japanese aesthetics and Golden ratio from Classical architecture to randomly generate an infinite array of unique glowing plasma lines that hover in colour fields.

In Between Two Worlds, A.A. Murakami transcends the boundaries of traditional neon art, embarking on an innovative journey where the luminous essence of light seamlessly transitions from the tangible to the intangible. Through their visionary exploration of digital neon, Murakami weaves a mesmerising tapestry of colour gradients, spanning from the gentle embrace of soft pastels to the vivacious intensity of full-blooded neons.

This generative collection is an homage to their iconic neon creations, echoing the minimalistic allure of geometric compositions intertwined with a vibrant spectrum of hues. In the realm of A.A. Murakami, light becomes the ultimate medium, harmoniously bridging the physical and digital worlds, as they invite audiences to embark on a captivating odyssey of discovery and transformation through 'Between Two Worlds.'
