REMIX: YAMANTAKA EYE, BIRD WATCH, 2007

This new work by Japanese contemporary artist and seminal musician Yamantaka Eye was generated spontaneously from ideas about Harry Smith.

Yamantaka Eye has exhibited his visual artwork at PS1, New York; GATAX, Tokyo; magical ARTROOM, Tokyo and Transplant Gallery, New York. Known primarily as the vocalist of the Boredoms, he has worked with artists such as Nam June Paik and John Zorn, and has recently started performing solo as DJ Pika Pika Pika. In 1996, a full colour collection of his artwork, entitled ‘Nanoo’, was published. Eye's artwork has adorned a number of records, including most albums by the Boredoms and Beck’s ‘Midnite Vultures’.
