Wanda & Nova deViator (SLO): Resistance at 22:00

Wanda & Nova deViator (Maja Delak & Luka Prinčič) are an artistic/performative duo that works with variety of media (performance, sound, video, physical computing, texts, situations) in order to research and artistically reflect the state of contemporary living. WNDV.SI is their main online platform.

Wanda’s first appearance was in performance Ways of Love with the reappropriation of the song “You Don’t Own Me” rendered into a punk-electro reinvention where she provided screamy yet powerful vocal intervention. In the process of improvisation on home-grown granulators in Pure Data she displayed subtle sensibility to delicate sound dispersed in time. All this was the reason for inevitable further collaboration with Nova deViator who has been in and out of the Slovenian electronic and noise “scene” for more than a decade. His music/noise ranges from electronic break beats to noise drones.

Their project Resistance started as a clubbing derivative of multimedia concert performance Frozen Images. It premiered at UltraWax event in klub K4. It is a move towards the transcendence of a dancefloor, especially of its potential of conscious and deliberate bodily resistance to the force of rationality. It uses a language of electronic rhythms, repetitive patterns of metalic melody, violent funk and carefully crafted dynamics of suspense, peaks and minimalism. Away from the spectacle it reaches closer to sweaty bodies in the   darkness.

Thematically and formally it is talking about sexuality at the root of human motivation – it’s a sonic, textual and visual space that poses questions about how do we relate to each other and the world. What is the emotional architecture of this process of relating? When does power turn into domination and in what circumstances a lovely person desires its own submission? How much fake sugar is needed to cover up one’s depression and how powerful are visual strategies for ideologies of capitalistic commodification so that one stops seeing another human being the way it is? A hybrid performance and electronic music somewhere between electropunk, triphop and breaks.
