Ellen Pearlman writes about Alexandre Burton's and Julien Roy's performance at Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Canada in November 2010. “We are absorbed by the beauty of electronics absorbing into the air,” is how Burton and Roy described their literally electrifying, and often frightening forty-five minute audiovisual performance of high-voltage electromagnetic disturbances.

POWEr is a performance based on high-voltage electromagnetic perturbations, by Alexandre Burton and Julien Roy. Using an audio-modulated Tesla coil as a live instrument, electrical arcs are generated and transformed in an ongoing, realtime audiovisual process. Electricity is used as a subtle yet intense material, manifested as an instrinsically synesthesic phenomenae.
