MSHR

MSHR is an art collective that collaboratively builds and explores sculptural electronic systems.\ \ Their performances and installations integrate electrical signals and human presence, weaving dense networks of causality to form audiovisual environments that babble with a life-like current.\ \ They explore intuitive and technical gradients between sonic and sculptural forms, using analog circuitry and open-source software to sculpt mutually resonant hyperobjects.\ \ MSHR was founded by Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper in 2011 in Portland, Oregon, as an offshoot from the collective Oregon Painting Society. \ \ The name MSHR is a modular acronym designed to hold varied ideas over time. It can be pronounced as an acronym or like one who meshes.
