about

At the center of the collaboration between visual artist Karine Laval and composer Jakub Rojek is an idea of email correspondence as basis for creation of series of collages involving video and music works. Laval and Rojek met briefly during a collaboration on the project “Memorandum to the Victims of 911” held at Spectrum, NYC back in 2015, and which had helped spawn the idea of later collaboration. Both, Karine and Jakub share a penchant for installation/projection and for interdisciplinary projects and since they live in different cities it only seemed natural to facilitate collaboration through the email exchange first. They thought this would be a great idea to design an entire project around the visual/musical conversation. It's an interesting take on the tradition of epistolary correspondence or even the surrealists' "cadavre exquis" (exquisite corpse in English). Another interesting aspect of writing to the screen is that the music is created as an immediate, uncontemplated, response to the visual creation unlike music that usually accompanies the screen and which plays secondary role. Here, we are able to witness the fusion of two simultaneous artistic expressions which are presented as a result of an interactive discourse. The two ultimately create a polyphony of visual and musical spheres with their own respective dynamics. The merging of two paradigms serves as an exploratory ground for discovering of their new (visual, musical) identities and narrative created between them.

jakub "kuba" rojek Tucson, Arizona

"...He is a unique musical voice oscillating between textural/polyphonic improvisations and a hellbent, not so “reconciled”, on the verge of musical sarcasm and slapstick humor piano music a la Victor Borge with an edge of Conlon Nancarrow..."
