Maya + Rouvelle is an artist collaboration between Lili Maya and James Rouvelle that began in 2009 in New York. Our works are intended to render the contemporary world imaginable. We have a current focus on the pairing of concert music (from ancient to modern) and visual art in live, streamed and virtual environments.
