Ever-evolving artist Arca releases brand new, self-directed video for “Incendio“.
The visual piece captures a raw performance of Arca from the Armory stage, featuring custom technology from Japanese artist Daito Manabe, who collaborated with Arca on the creation of a radical device that converts music signals into electrical signals.
Manabe explains: “Through myoelectric sensors attached to Arca’s face, we can use technology to intricately, and at times violently, control and transform her expressions. Despite these technological constraints, Arca delivers a powerful performance, offering herself as a vessel, happily enjoying the pleasure and the pain of each rhythmic shock.”
Directed by Arca, Mutant;Destrudo congregates the artists close friends and collaborators including Daito Manabe and Rhizomatiks, visual artist Carlos Sáez, Unax LaFuente and Sam Rolfes, Tristan Shone, Landscape, Bronze, 4DSound and more (full list here), to create a shared space for the deconstruction of preconceptions.
The video also premiered at Mutant;Destrudo, her four-night performance series commissioned by the Park Avenue Armory, which concluded on Sunday, October 15th.
