From Art in General press release,
The Cook Sisters, Carrie Dashow and Tali Hinkis, combine diverse
communication technologies, video mixers, visual processors, and edible
items with live cameras, stoves, and computer feeds to alter and question
the existing space as it is simultaneously captured, mirrored, and consumed.
"
Collaborating live with sound siblings and food experts from around the
worlds, ranging form noise musicians, French and Jewish cooks, DJ¹s,
psychologists, and opera singers. The Cook Sisters create an overstuffed
audio visual interchange. One sister mixes while the other cuts, cooks,
builds, and animates inanimate objects, transmitting and projecting this
hybrid visual imagery back into the live performance space while enabling a
dialogue between performers, the physical space, and the audience.
