Artist StatementMylo MU uses music, installation, photography, video and performance to explore themes of personal and public mythology in digital space. His recent body of work utilizes video projections, photography and music recordings as a primary resource. The themes are influenced by consumer culture, fashion, surrealism, math, philosophy, and history. Mylo produces music which prompts him to imagine what material language is vital to physicalizing the video in the installation world. MU is most interested in process as a meta narrative; a narrative of discovery, a narrative of considering the multiplicities of who you may be, a narrative of an music artist from South Central LA in the art world.
