No Collective (You Nakai, Kay Festa, Earl Lipski, Ai Chinen, Jay Barnacle, et al) makes music, dancers, and books, among other things. No Collective was featured in Leonardo Music Journal (MIT Press) as one of the artists under 40 doing interesting things with technology. Recent works include Concertos No.4 (2012, National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo), where professional blind athletes played soccer with ball-shaped loudspeakers in a completely darkened 16,000 square feet performance space filled with 300 audience, and Vesna’s Fall (2014, Judson Church/Black Mountain College), made with Lindsey Drury, in which each dancer, enwrapped in a 13-foot movable curtained stage, danced to the audible counts from other dancers while herself counting for others she couldn’t see. Extensive essays on No Collective’s works have been published in Performing Arts Journal (MIT Press) and TDR (MIT Press), among other journals. No Collective runs the publisher ‘Already Not Yet‘ which has released Ellen C. Covito: Works After Weather (2014), and Museum of Unheard (of) Things (2015).
