DIMENSION N - A premiere of audiovisual project created as a result of meeting two art personalities: Alba Corral – visual artist from Barcelona combining generative systems with improvised drawing techniques (she collaborated with e.g. Jon Hopkins, Shackleton) and Dariusz Makaruk – music producer and live electronics musician, which worked with Michał Urbaniak and Tomasz Stańko among others. The effect of this meeting is fascinating impact of two artistics impressions in a way of multidimensional audiovisual live performance. The project had its premiere on PatchLAB Festival 2015 in Manggha - Museum for Contemporary Japanese Art. Dariusz Makaruk [PL] www.makaruk.net Music producer, live electronics musician and audiovisual performer. Lives and works in Warsaw, Poland. As a music producer and performer he plays his own electro-jazz and experimental electronics music repertoire.

Alba Corral [ES] www.albagcorral.com Artist and creative technologist based in Barcelona. With a background in computer engineering, Corral has been creating generative art using software and coding for the past decade. Her practice spans across live performance, video, digital media and installation, exploring abstract narratives and expressing sensitivity and taste for colour. By combining generative systems with improvised drawing techniques, her digital language becomes organic, creating mesmerising digital landscapes. Corral is known for her stunning live audio-visual performances where she integrates real-time coding and drawing in collaboration with musicians. She has performed with renowned musicians such as Jon Hopkins, Miguel Marin (aka Arbol), Fibla, Stendhal Syndrome, Jacaszek and Shackleton.
