@ 7:00pm - 9:00pm - $20 presale

Tana Sprague (Lissom) is a sound + video artist, transfixed with micro details. With focus fluctuating between digital and organic, her work creates a space where one complements the other. Inspired by the elegant complexity of organic forms, she utilizes various electronic and digital devices to synthesize a similar enveloping intricacy.

Alexandre Burton and Julien Roy are two of the artists that make up Artificiel (along with Jimmy Lakatos), a group based in Montreal, Canada that operates in the new media realm. The duo will be bringing their latest project, POWEr, to the ATLAS Institute at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

POWEr is a performance based on high-voltage electromagnetic perturbations. 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 synesthesicphenomenae . Building on a context that is halfway between a musical presentation and a media arts installation, POWEr takes its place by raising the stakes of spontaneity and working with evermore complex musical and visual structures.
