In this one-night-only special event, Oglala Lakȟóta artist Kite and Mexico City-based collective Interspecifics will perform at REDCAT in The Body Is the Interface. Kite performs the score she’s translated into Lakȟóta visual language using a computer manipulated by two hair braids, with her body as the intermediary between media. The Interspecifics collective uses heart monitors to create a live sonic and visual composition with a feedback processor that follows rhythms and synchronizations of the human heart.
