In Cut Piece, the powdered up Yoko Ono knelt down in a traditional Japanese position, seemingly indifferent as members of the audience are invited to cut off her clothes with a pair of scissors. This was first performed in May 1964 in Kyoto.

“working with eliane is learning to hear as she hears. the discipline which she brings to her involvement with sound is legendary. she is persistent, critical, alert, and full of self doubt. to interpret her work is to take on these attributes. in her apartment she is in a world of her own, surrounded by curiosities, habits, memories, plants, audio equipment, art objects. she passes in and out of the kitchen through a curtain of hanging philodendron; her sphinx-like cat observes silently. in her world, sound is never altogether the same and never altogether different, as she says, paraphrasing verlaine. to interpret her music is to enter a world not quite like any other, yet still our own, lived world; and to act in it, consciously and responsibly.”
- Charles Curtis

Sublime visuals for Nosaj Thing from Adam Guzman and Julia Tsao.
“The live show for Nosaj Thing, a collaboration with Julia Tsao. Video clips are the formatted for mixing in Modul8. Each clip belongs to a certain part of a song. We triggered and manipulated each clip live with 2 midi controllers. Our performance is focused around disorientation and using the projector as a light source. The first half of the show is dedicated to slowly building a visual style. The images are black and white lines and squares. The positive/negative space is used to create rhythm that is synced with the audio. As the set progresses, the imagery becomes less abstract and focused less on light. Patterns begin to form and space begins to open as if the two dimensions exploded into a third. The relationship the graphics create with the performer is interesting. As the graphics become more spatial, the performer flattens, becoming a 2-D cutout version of himself.”

“The record player uses a carrier and dock outfitted with a magnetic and auto-calibrating control
system which carries the LP into thin air as it is playing music. a self-running record player shaped
in the form of a red sphere, contains a needle, amplifier and speaker, spins around the record,
bringing the music to life. the sphere that plays the vinyl was technically influenced by the ‘vinyl killer’,
currently the world’s smallest LP player that has a built-in motor, amplifier and speaker.
Simple colors and shapes express a kind of astronomical movement between the object and space.
The levitation is managed electronically. once turning the player on, you can manage the elevation
levels through the touch sensors on the front side of the base unit.”

“Using electronic sound and visual art as a kind of hybrid-tool, Carsten Nicolai creates his own microscopic view of creative processes. His world looks more like a laboratory – constantly morphing in space and time, influenced by the impulses of this media world, sound the message as code – becomes the primary theme via his visualised sound performance.”
