Performing with elaborate inventions, obsolete technology and six channels of video, Invisible's work falls somewhere between installation, performance and music.

Since its founding in 2009, NMR has presented music by Steve Reich, John Luther Adams, Missy Mazzoli, Paul Lansky, Nico Muhly, Judith Shatin, and Belinda Reynolds, and has collaborated with the celebrated indie rock artists, Lost in the Trees and Shara Worden. Craig Jarvis of the News and Observer referred to NMR this way: “Classical music you might actually call hip.”
This presentation is in partnership with the Mallarme Chamber Players.
Get ready to experience the convergence of sound, music, art, and obsolete technologies at CAM Raleigh's April 6 First Friday event. Greensboro-based collective Invisible will be performing The New Obsolete at 7:30 p.m. in the museum's street level gallery. CAM Raleigh is excited to host this special performance in conjunction with its current feature exhibition Born Digital–Exploring Digital Culture and Interactivity.
The New Obsolete explores obsolescence in technology as well as the human body. This installation is equal parts music performance, video and visual art with closed captioning provided by a live typist.
The objects featured in The New Obsolete will be displayed in the CAM Raleigh street gallery from March 31 through April 6, 2012. Along with the objects, CAM Raleigh will debut a new documentary by North Carolina filmmaker Jonathan Butler of performance art group Invisible and their latest show: The New Obsolete.
