AU Hoi Lam has been an active visual artist in Hong Kong since the early 2000s. AU focuses on drawing and painting, and also explores mixed media and installation alongside. Her work is minimal and subtle, embodied with lyrical symbols and codes. The subjects of her metaphorical and autobiographical work come from trivial but profound minute details of everyday life. AU regards her art objects as memorandum, a form of contemplation, and the ways that the process of making art keep her attuned to the world around her.

Nancy Dayanne Valladares (She / They) is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker and educator from Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Nancy's practice delves into the histories of image-making, through the lens of botany, ecology, and more-than-human worlds. Nancy is interested in technologies of vision and the way these are scripting the future of images. Their practice examines photography’s historical entanglement with botanical imaginaries and chemical legacies.

Sauli Sirvio uses photography as a basis for all of his artworks, but gradually has moved more and more towards three-dimensional expression, creating installations and experiments with found materials. The process usually begins by exploring places in a liminal state, of which he takes photographs as evidence for the archive. The works usually take their final form quite late in the process and are characterized by constant change and interaction with the exhibition spaces. The works reflect on the themes Sirviö has been exploring over the years: histories and dilapidated infrastructures of places, the intersection of analog and digital worlds, and the evanescence of information. Sirviö's art can be seen as an archaeological excavation, the goal is to examine the essence of time; the works engage in dialogue with the past, present and future -creating anachronistic spaces. In addition to his artistic work he is one of the founding members of artist-run gallery SIC space in Helsinki, Finland.

Ryan Aasen is an artist, researcher, and educator broadly interested in the politics of media technologies, particularly media-induced paranoia and anxiety. His image-based practice looks for patterns across a diverse set of ideas including trust, privacy, sexuality, religion, and class structure. Born and raised in rural Minnesota, he is currently based in New York City where he teaches about art and technology at Parsons School of Design and Stevens Institute of Technology.

Eunjung Park is a painter and sculptor born and raised in South Korea and currently based in New York. Her experiences as an immigrant led to her interest in adaptation and change in both biological and cultural spheres. Park explores this topic by layering images from multiple sources, such as human biology and botany. She sees painting as a process of both mutation and migration—as she works, the forms appear, combine, transform, displace one another, and evolve into new images. They are in a constant state of flux, reenacting the transformations taking place within her at both cellular and cultural levels.
