Despite Jeremy Blake’s suicide back in July (after his companion, Theresa Duncan had done so) his digital images are now part of an exhibition in Washington DC:

The late New York artist Jeremy Blake tried to blur the boundary
between the two in recent years by creating "moving paintings" on the
computer screen. His animated collages combine morphing colors and
shapes with Monty Python-type gags, photo stills from films and
television, and fragments of music and spoken poetry.

The
Corcoran Gallery of Art wants you to see them as "wild" and
forward-leaning, but a trio of Mr. Blake’s videos on view at the
museum, starting tomorrow, reveals the artist to be deeply nostalgic in
his romantic odes to the idols of the swinging 1960s and later punk
bands. His adolescent fantasies about rebellious rockers are expressed
through the traditional form of portraiture, and he tries so hard to
blend media that his dense verbal and visual montages lack artistic
clarity.

The lush but uneven display at the Corcoran
testifies to this young artist’s search for originality and serves as a
tribute to Mr. Blake’s short career. In July, at age 35, he ended his
life by walking into the ocean off Queens, N.Y., after finding his
companion, filmmaker and writer Theresa Duncan, had committed suicide.
Their deaths stunned the art world, especially given Mr. Blake’s
success with museum and gallery shows, and his creations for the movie
"Punch-Drunk Love" and pop star Beck.

The question all too many people want to know the answer to of course is why in fact did Jeremy Blake and Theresa Duncan in fact commit suicide? The best answer seems to come from Newsgrist:

Though over a month old, this post continues to receive an
unprecedented number of hits per day. Responding to the conundrum of
this dual suicide, all levels of media coverage from blogs to print
dailies to tabloids seem to promote everything from conspiracy theory to drugs; most of it amounts to a huge pile of tawdry sensationalism.
I guess the idea is to sell papers (or get more hits). As glamorous as
they may have seemed while still alive, there is nothing glamorous or
romantic
about this story; it’s not raw material for a Tony Scott style psycho-surveillance thriller, nor for Sofia Coppola’s next chickflick.
Whatever they suffered from, T&J remained undiagnosed unto death.
As can be the case with undiagnosed and untreated mental pain, they
were self-medicating
(lots of alcohol…). However bizarre, their shared illness, if that’s what it was, is certainly not unheard of. No one can confirm at this point if this was really the case or not, but
it is the most logical explanation for their increasingly erratic
behavior during the last years of their lives leading up to and
including their suicides. No one can say whether an accurate diagnosis
and suitable treatment might have helped them or just prolonged their
difficult descent. RIP.

Paranoid schizophrenia if left untreated, can indeed have that effect.
