Arca - Incendio (3'30'') 2023

<<“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.>>

A) An improvement from 10 to 11 MPG
B) An improvement from 16.5 to 20 MPG
C) An improvement from 33 to 50 MPG


Surprisingly, all save about the same amount of gas over 10,000 miles: About 100 gallons."
