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.

School of Design.

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.
