Dimension N

Dimension N (2.0) is a digital audio-visual performance by the duo Alba G. Corral (graphic/digital artist from Barcelona) & Dariusz Makaruk (producer / composer of contemporary music and electronic systems from Warsaw). They combine generative systems with improvised digital drawing techniques. Dimension N makes the audience dive in different immersive landscapes and digital paintings mixed with a virtuoso electronic music close to the approach of North American minimalists. Dimension N 2.0 is co-produced with Transcultures, an MAP program initiated by the Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes, with the support of Ministry of Culture of the Federation Wallonia-Brussels, Belgium.

The project was presented at:
– PATCHlab Festival, Cracow 2015 – Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology
– Festival des Bains Numeriques 2016, Centre des Arts Enghien les Bains, France
– CitySonic – Festival des Arts Sonores 2016, Belgium
– Live Cinema Festival (AV Node) 2016, Rome, Italy, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Roma at Via Nizza
