This week we’ve showcased the many faces of Russian multidisciplinary installation artists 404.zero. Moving from immersive audiovisual experiences of impressive scale through evocative live electronic performances before finally arriving in a virtual space, inhabited by ambitious conceptual works, Kristina Karpysheva and Alexander Letsius have presented the many facets of their wide-ranging project.
Approaching light, sound and space with a singular vision, understanding them as essential parts of a monolithic whole, the duo create awe-inspiring works defined by an esoteric aesthetic sensibility and a distinctly cinematic quality.
Since the project’s conception, Karpysheva & Letsius have shown their work in cities across the world, including Prague, Mexico City, Seoul, Lima, San Francisco and in New York’s Times Square, as well as at a vast array of international festivals, including MUTEK, Japan Media Arts Festival, Recombinant, Circle of Light, Gamma Festival and SOUND UP. This year they debuted on Icelandic label Bedroom Community as musicians for the first time with the album 404.0, which was preceded by an audiovisual EP, Black Sunday.
