VALISE is a live multimedia performance project which speaks and dances with itself, transposes ancient star data into midi, and has produced recordings strictly within the limits of live mixing between multiple browser tabs (which the artist refers to as “browser” genre). The project is comprised of NYC based artist, vocalist, producer, and educator, Maralie and finds heritage in a genealogy of spiritual and sensual expression via technology. Intermingling audio, video, sculpture, and performance she/they seduce poetics from human-machine interaction. As a vocalist Maralie’s background in church singing instilled the practice of marking life events with ceremonial song and ritual. A reaching for the unseen or celestial otherness is often evoked. Meditations on the Eternal and the temporal form her living pattern of dance. Recordings as VALISE have been published by Primitive Languages, No Rent Records, Angoisse, and Devine.
