CREA KLAB
The CREA KLAB is the intermedial processes laboratory coordinated by Valerio Murat, professor of Multimedia at the Department of Electronic Music of the Licinio Refice Conservatoire in Frosinone. It serves as a space for experimentation and collaboration among artists and researchers. The lab fosters innovative projects that bridge different artistic disciplines. Its activities explore the intersections between music, technology, and visual arts. The CREA K//LAB plays a vital role in pushing the boundaries of traditional artistic practices. We explore new techniques, languages, and forms of expression. Art has the power to question the world and foster new perspectives for civil coexistence. Our audiovisual content will always align with this principle. Collaboration is a tool for growth and development, not only among individuals but also among groups of artists. We embrace Beauty as the realm of perfection. Everything we engage with and love is incompatible with any form of hostility or violence.
