Taken from Arca’s performance series Mutant;Destrudo commissioned by the Park Avenue Armory in New York. Subscribe to Arca’s channel: Follow Arca: @arca10000000 “Incendio” premiered at Mutant;Destrudo, Arca’s four-night performance series commissioned by the Park Avenue Armory, which concluded on Sunday, October 15th 2023. This 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 further: “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. kick: Merch: Directress - Arca Guest Artist and Custom Technology Development: Daito Manabe Camera: Shaun MacDonald Hair, Makeup, Styling: Arca Lighting Designer: Vincent de Belleval Electric Muscle Stimulation Device Engineer: Masaki Teruoka Project Manager: Naoki Ishizuka and Rina Watanabe Assistant: 2bit #arca #incendio #mutantdestrudo
