Lingua Lucem is a live audio visual performance duo (Joel Dow and Ava Monske). Through meditative electronic tones and interactive video feedback, Lingua Lucem builds electro acoustic soundscapes and conjures visual fields in a resonant ritual of sound and image. For each performance, Lingua Lucem creates an altar of instruments, including vintage video cameras, tv monitors and handmade synthesizers, as well as botanical elements such as stones, sticks and flowers to be blended into the visual system throughout the ceremony. Each performance is a unique response to the energy of the environment and the electronic signal that flows through it, speaking in a language of light and sound.
