Alba G. Corral, Madrid, 1977.
Based in Catalunya is a Visual Artist and creative coder with a background in computer engineering, Corral has been creating generative art using software and coding for the past decade. Her practice spansacross 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.
"Papallona de l'Alfocada" 2021
The work of Alba G. Corral invites you to contemplate a butterfly in the L'Alfacada Lagoon, one of the main biodiversity reserves in the western Mediterranean located in the Delta de l'Ebre Natural Park. Papallona de l'Alfacada recreates through algorithms the beauty and fragility of a butterfly, the beauty and fragility of an ecosystem, our environment, our land. It preserves it for future generations since, without a drastic change in our environmental policies, they will only be able to enjoy it from the melancholic delicacy of the memory of Alba's work.
"Mercuri" 2023
Three concepts united in one work that give rise to an audiovisual piece of dreamlike abstract shapes and textures: the Roman god; the planet named after him; the chemical element used in UHP projector lamps, about to disappear and be replaced by other technologies. An exploration of the beautiful complexity of algorithms that create generative art using open source tools. A piece that explores the contemplation of organic digital aesthetics speculating with new textures, movements and volumes.
