About the artists:

Konrad Korabiewski (1978): Konrad distances himself from a generation of designed category music-makers, trying to fit in. As an experimental electronic musician, composer and multimedia artist, he is concerned and focused on absorption, content and atmosphere and the listening experience. Rather than using digital technology for its own purpose, he experiments with new possibilities for expressing philosophical views and conceptual artistic ideologies. He has played on various venues and festivals throughout Europe. http://korabiewski.com

Litten (1977): is an experimental installation- and multimedia artist focused on the human perception of its surroundings. She expresses her philosophical artistic statements through different techniques such as tactile installation, photography, collage, experimental film, drawing/painting or a mixture of these. A recurring theme in Littens work is the human/cultural evolution in and phasing out of its natural origin which she investigates with a personal approach. She was educated in Textile arts and Visual communication from Hellerup textile Academy, Denmarks Design school, and autodidact as mixed media/collage artist [Copenhagen/ Berlin 2000-10]. http://litten.info

‘AFFECTED AS ONLY A HUMAN BEING CAN BE’

Here their forces in sound art, audiovisual media and digital art, photography, textile installation, painting/drawing and collage art, is connected to a strong experimenting, openminded and philosophical union. This latest collaborative artwork called; ‘AFFECTED AS ONLY A HUMAN BEING CAN BE’ by Konrad Korabiewski / Litten, is a pioneering, adventurous multimedia art book transgressing boundaries between visual art, book art, music, sound art and words. It encourage slow immersion in a portable art-installation with a profound sense of visual and musical space and depth,pointing out an alternative route in the modern river of passing picture, music and download-stream, as a coherent statement.
