The Emissary: [prayer 1]
Performance June 14 9pm @ El Museo Cultural. See "external media" link above for event listing.
The Emissary is a multi-part audio-visual performance. Utilizing a software he coded in Max/MSP/Jitter, Whitaker-Morrow drives video and audio processing through the use of his voice alone in real-time. Employing reworked footage from Star Trek: Deep Space 9, archival sound from his grandparents’ church services, and his own field recordings in conjunction with his live oration and physical performance, Whitaker-Morrow conjures the occurrence of a Black-anarchist sci-fi rally and Afrofuturist sermon thus engendering an affective call to enact revolution in the present.
