Matter

Audiovisual performance by Maotik and talk with Lucía Aballe

Debate

The digital artist Maotik presents a live performance and speaks with the ALBA Synchrotron researcher Lucía Aballe about the synergism between art and materials science.

The session opens with Materia ("Matter"), an audiovisual performance moving in real time through the four fundamental states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, and plasma). By means of generative visuals and synchronised sound design, Maotik creates live musical and visual compositions inspired by the behaviour of sound waves in different kinds of media offering, with this translation of scientific concepts into multisensorial experiences, a poetic overview of transformations of the natural world.

In the second part, Maotik speaks with Lucía Aballe, head of Interdisciplinary and Multimodal Section, Experiments Division, ALBA Synchrotron, and coordinator of the most pioneering projects on the creation of advanced materials. The discussion will be moderated by Irma Vilà, curator of the artistic programme of "Radical Science”.
