Daniel Murphy (he/they) is a moving-image artist and educator. Murphy's work studies absences and their generative potentials, examining the poetics of the things that are cobbled together in the gaps of understanding. He is compelled by the ways in which past events leave imprints upon the world, traces that can alter the way in which an object, location, or landscape is received on an affective level. Informed by his past experiences working as a scratch baker, his work is hands-on and process oriented. Often using analog film and darkroom processes, he engages with sound and image in their material states.

Murphy's films have screened at many festivals and screening spaces worldwide, including L’alternativa Festival de Cinema Independent de Barcelona, True/False, Antimatter Media Art, VideoEx Zurich, FRACTO Berlin, Laterale, ICDOCS, Athens International Film and Video Festival, Fisura, Alternative Film/Video Belgrade, and the Milwaukee Underground Film Festival. His films have won awards at the San Diego Underground Film Festival, the Denver Underground Film Festival, and the Ann Arbor Film Festival. He teaches in the Cinema Department at Binghamton University.
