EAI partnered with Salon 94 to present the New York City premiere of OM Rider (2013, 11:39 min), a new computer-animated video by Takeshi Murata. To celebrate this new work, which represents one of the most integral collaborations yet with composer/sound designer Robert Beatty, this special evening also spotlighted the artist's other recent creative partnerships, including Murata's video for Oneohtrix Point Never's "Problem Areas" (2013, 3:07 min) and Night Moves (2012, 6:02), made with Billy Grant. The screenings was followed by a conversation with Murata and Beatty and a live performance by Beatty and C. Spencer Yeh, who provides vocal work in OM Rider.
