POWEr: Electronics Absorbing into The Air.


POWEr: Electronics Absorbing into The Air.

Ellen Pearlman writes about Alexandre Burton's and Julien Roy's performance at Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Canada in November 2010. “We are absorbed by the beauty of electronics absorbing into the air,” is how Burton and Roy described their literally electrifying, and often frightening forty-five minute audiovisual performance of high-voltage electromagnetic disturbances.

POWEr is a performance based on high-voltage electromagnetic perturbations, by Alexandre Burton and Julien Roy. Using an audio-modulated Tesla coil as a live instrument, electrical arcs are generated and transformed in an ongoing, realtime audiovisual process. Electricity is used as a subtle yet intense material, manifested as an instrinsically synesthesic phenomenae.

European activist group IOCOSE premiere their film 'In The LOng Run' tonight.

Private view tonight 6.30 pm - 9pm
Friday Nov 5th

Although we live in a celebrity driven culture it is not widely known that major news networks such as the BBC, Fox and Sky prepare obituaries about famous people to put on air in the event of an unexpected death.

Criticising the media’s obsession with celebrity an art collective named IOCOSE will be screening their film In the Long Run (2010) at HTTP gallery north London, plus two other works not exhibited in the UK until now.

The 20 minute film is a reconstruction of a possible future high profile media event. The death of pop star Madonna is described in a BBC News special edition, with a journalist and studio guest who go over the details of the fatal car accident, the statements of the VIPs and the reactions of fans around the world.
