Sunday June 1, 7pm (doors)
Live performance: Kristina Warren / Jean Carla Rodea
In person and online
Microscope is excited to present a night of live sound and video by artists Kristina Warren and Jean Carla Rodea. The evening features two approximately 30 minutes long live audiovisual sets by Warren and by Rodea.
Warren performs her A/V piece “Three Rivulets” (2024), which combines abstract visual elements — each of its three parts focusing on a specific shape, and specifically rectangles, triangles and circles — with shifting fields of electronic patterns. Jean Carla Rodea’s performance, relying on live audio processing and video manipulated in real time, is an “intriguing exploration of form and utterance, structure and dynamism.”
General In-person Admission: $12
Member/Student In-person Admission: $9
Online tickets will be available on this page on the date on the event at 7pm ET.

Kristina Warren is a sound and media artist based on Narragansett land, also known as Providence, RI [US]. Warren’s performances range from synth voyages and digital soundscapes to concertina meditations and beyond; Warren also presents installations, workshops, lectures, and more. Using analog concepts as the basis for formal structures and improvised explorations, Warren’s work thematizes the ebbs and flows of individual and collective listening attention. Praised as “beautifully organic” (Peter Bruyn) and “precise and unpredictable” (Marc Masters), work by Warren has been presented internationally at venues including TIK [DE], WORM [NL], MENGI [IS], The Bluecoat [UK], Infuse [FR], Experimental Sound Studio (Chicago), and Rhizome (DC). Recently a Fulbright US Scholar at MuseumsQuartier Vienna (2023), Warren holds a PhD in Composition & Computer Technologies from the University of Virginia (2017).
