“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.
