V1-V3 (Dec. 2011)
FUSE LINES, MOTORCYCLE CHAIN, PLEXIGLASS, KOZO PAPER
Video/Sculpture: Yara Travieso + Mira Lehr
Sound Installation: Jerome Begin -
Performer: Rachel Carroll -
V1-V3 is a video art piece exploring post-humanistic themes, combining sound/sculpture/performance. Powerful and illegal gunpowder is threaded through a motorcycle chain (the structural base of the sculpture) and lit on fire to bring the structure violently alive. The artist was interested in the spectacle of something coming alive and dying on its own accord. The burning fuse indicates a lifeline, while the lateral motion of the object produces a repetitive sonic clatter, which is as irregular as our own pulse. The work confronts permanence with sculpture and temporality with video/sound, in order to experience a post-humanistic ephemerality.

Seven orchestral string instruments play, but through Begin's live electronic manipulation produce electroacoustic sound that roars, bends, bounces and dissolves. The human voice is amplified via handheld microphone, warped and distorted,…

Part poem, part spectacle, part picture book nightmare, this unique rendition of Igor Stravinskyʼs theatrical work, Histoire du Soldat, is a darker look into the deteriorating mind of the soldier. A breathing, mutating chair narrates the tale, while an 80 ft piece of fabric shape-shifts from vibrating architectures to savage nature. Combined with original posters and illustrations by artist Ryan Hartley, interactive video projections, dancers, puppet shows, pythons, theater, and a live chamber orchestra, the work is a salute to the makeshift, absurd, tapestry that was life during wartime Russia.
Created by Multimedia Director/Choreographer, Yara Travieso
Conducted by, George Stelluto for the Juilliard Orchestra

SET- Seven string instruments are amplified and electronically processed, manipulated live by Begin, shattering the expectations of a formal orchestral experience. In conjunction, 5 bodies create tense cinematic episodes of moving images and moving architecture both live on stage and recorded, warping the expectations of the space and of storytelling. "we wanted to create a world full of distortion and disorientation, both sonically and visually, zooming into how terrifying this could be, or exciting, or liberating or..!"
