Pavel Korbička & Lucie Vítková

“Medialogue” – an collaboration project of visual artist Pavel Korbička and composer and improvisation artist Lucie Vítková (based in New York). The architecture of the audiovisual dialogue makes the Skype communication network. The dialogue of artists – Vítková´s sound with Korbička´s light – was deconstructed in the online transmission. This deconstruction changes according to the quality of connection, speed and number of other users. “Medialogue” is an audiovisual online space that tries to uncover primary principles of articulate speech.

Her compositions focus on sonification (compositions based on abstract models derived from physical objects), while in her improvisation practice she explores characteristics of discrete spaces through the interaction between sound and movement. In her recent work, she is interested in the social-political aspects of music in relation to everyday life and in reusing trash to build sonic costumes. She has been nominated for 2017 Herb Alpert Awards in Arts in the category of Music, was commissioned by the Roulette Intermedium in 2017 and has become a Roulette resident artist in 2018. She has put together two ensembles – NYC Constellation Ensemble (focused on music behavior) and OPERA Ensemble (for singing instrumentalists).

As an accordion player, she collaborated with New York based TAK Ensemble, S.E.M. ensemble, String Noise, Du.0, Argento Ensemble, CU Raaga, Ghost Ensemble and Wet Ink. Vítková has also been active in the visual art scene and worked on projects with Pavel Korbička, Jolana Havelková, Dalibor Chatrný and Morgan O’Hara.
