An Art Show Inspired by Daft Punk

A visual feast for the ears, the new Re Discovery show at the Gauntlet Gallery, truly represents a marriage of trending music and art. Presenting selections form various artists, the show is a visual homage to the ever-popular French house duo, Daft Punk who released their latest album, Random Access Memories in May. The show offers an eclectic variety of interpretations most of which reference the iconic Daft Punk robot costumes. An art show dedicated to this particular duo seems fitting considering their reputation for fabulously elaborate live shows in which fantastic visual effects play a huge role in their musical experience.

Daft Punk is perhaps part of a movement in which digital music and digital graphics coexist in a futuristic platform of creative expression. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that so many artists participated in this project offering mediums that range from digital graphics, to oil paint, to sculpture and anything and everything in between.  There is truly something for everyone to feats their eyes on: even a kitten perched on top of a helmet. The variety of artistic interpretations indicates just how much of an influential source of a creative inspiration Daft Punk has been. The show is truly emblematic of the bands iconic history and promising future.
