Candice Saint Williams is a Black queer multimedia artist based in New York City, with an emphasis in sculpture, fiber, and sound. Their process is an exploratory approach in praise of forms, materials and craft traditionally recognized as humble as foundation, storytelling, and collaboration also play a dynamic role. Dismantling domestic motifs from their every day applications informs the artist's work; to challenge their mundane and seemingly concrete design functionality echoes with a spirit of multidimensionality centering identity and experience.

An exercise aimed at developing a duality in their process, in contrast to the intricate nature of their interwoven textile sculptures (e.G., dula umblagata, 2017), produced Tooba Greer Williams, a hyper-improvisational musical concept.

Tooba Greer Williams personifies stream-of-consciousness with illogical, associative, and non-linear lyrical structures. Saint Williams describes it as “bedroom punk”, a nod toward escaping from preciousness in exchange for impulsion, a character trapped in fantasy and unbound. Tooba Greer Williams is a practice of healing via sonic embodiment.

Betty Apple comes from a millennium generation of avant-garde artists in Taiwan.

Betty Apple’s work focuses on using body politics and performativity as her framework and drawing on her lived experience as a millennial living in post-colonial Taiwan, Her aim is to study the chaotic and hysterical "noise text" that is created from input to output, distorted by dynamics introduced by humans as well as objects. The main idea is to symbolize what is repressed by the seemingly perfect/accurate sound of science and patriarchy.

Salomé Chatriot is a contemporary artist and a mutimedia interaction designer.

As an artist, her work focuses on the creation of physical and virtual spaces: she builds machines and installations where electronic sculptures and digital images coexist. Fascinated by the way science treats body[ies] through data-oriented objectivity, she uses potential futures and new technologies to shape a fluid, digital and precious identity.

In disagreement with the techno-negative attitude, the ecosystems she produces always bear the mark of a certain healing. The well-being she wishes to transmit often involves the real-time diffusion of organic flows such as breathing, circulation of liquids and [al] chemical transformations. In her artistic creations, the process is as important as the result: experimenting and manipulating physical, electronic, digital and virtual materials in the manner of a scientist; with rigour and precision.

Matthieu Jacquet writes about Chatriot's research in Numéro, february 20219: "Anxious to counteract the coldness of the mechanical, the virtual image and the prefabricated, she strives to wrap her creations with the poetry of her universe and the formal softness of her living beings".

The images produced by the artist are indeed hybrid and oscillate between biological elements and chromed engines. The coldness of the mechanisms is toned down by the soft colors, pale pinks that evoke the skin, by textures that recall organs and muscular tissues, while the continuous transformation of her substances reflect the involuntary muscular activity of the body, the microscopic cellular life and the liquid heart of the earth.

Bella Báguena is a Spanish trans non binary woman working with music, performance, jewelry and other media. Bella centers her artistic production in a gender self-examination and an intuitive, emotional process. Using her voice, body movement and identity, as well as objects, spaces and technologies, Bella creates sound, video, sculptural or performative pieces in which the emotional charge and thought load of the trans woman's identity becomes the key signature.

Bella’s production works in a nomadic creative process; the disciplines she will be working with depend on her interests and needs of the moment, and possibilities the environment offers, using intuition, motivation and curiosity as a process of learning and creating. Her artistic proposals navigate in between lots of different resources, creating a rich composition of ideas; sourcing from the pop imagery and music and internet culture, to nature, to bodily experience. Organic textures, lights, sound reverbs, the sea and water, hormones, tears, lesbian love stories, the pleasure of the food, or even the trauma coming of misogynist oppression, in public and private spaces, of the trans feminine bodies. Real things that make the Daylife a true, emotional and creative experience.

Bella’s objective is the close connection of the emotional experience between her and the spectator, an honest channel to communicate, in which no matter if the tools used are the words and the language, the body expression, or the energy of the voice. The objective is to make the spectator aware of her story and her experience, never letting an artistic production escape its original emotional purpose. Bella communicates something with a creative language, through a trans feminine experience, something that probably we could not understand otherwise.

BORA is a French-born multidimensional artist whose practice spans animation, performance, music, sculpture and painting. The worlds she creates are an expansion of her inner space – they shape and figure her emotions when words cannot. Her universe is an immersion into an organic process, where you can hear a human being and its inner bodily and mental fluctuations. Through her audiovisual universe she explores layers of identity, captures flesh, its core and unconscious mechanisms. Her quest is to create and unravel a safe space for digital intimacy, and digital humanism. BORA is a ritual, an attempt on existence.

Vitória creates digital and visual narratives that permeate techniques such as: creation of 3D avatars, filters in augmented reality and immersive environments.

Italian CGI designer focusing on computer imagery interlocking feelings of the human sphere and the relationship between the real self and the digital alter-ego. Technology is not neutral, we live inside what we create and it lives inside us as well. We live in a world of digital connections, and it matters which ones we build and which ones we destroy. Hardmetacore’s practice focuses also on the grotesque side of beauty and how technology changes the way we perceive the human body.

Space distorts as human beings try to find a place to inhabit. The perception of geometry that surrounds it, is constantly building or deconstructing a different reality, where we are all trying to create our sense of place. Graphics, nature-inspired textures and futuristic worlds comprise the work of Victoria Campobello; also known as VXN. Abstract shapes & amorphous forms coexist in highly textured images that blend in three dimensional space.

Débora Silva is a Portuguese born-and-bred freelance visual artist, currently living in London.

Although Silva specialises in digital art, her work is inspired by the traditional processes of sculpture and primarily revolves around an embodiment of a creature she calls Venus. Venus is an ethereal being; an unknown femme entity, unconventional and powerful, forming a three-dimensional dissident often taking on different forms. Venus creates a narrative that unfolds with its circumstances. By registering “the singular”, Venus represents a collective identity which is returned to reality by the new media, further acquiring new meanings as it passes through time alongside society.

Silva’s creative process in the virtual space frees her subjects from physical matter, becoming an exercise untethered in the exploration of form. The representation of reality within Silva’s virtual world makes it complicit and critical of contemporary society.

Harriet Davey (She/Her) is a 3D Artist, Graphic Designer, and AR creator based across London and Berlin.

These variations speak to the fluid and chaotic nature of gender.

Nadya Plyamko is Ukrainian artist. Using the tools of surrealism, she explores the relationship between the outer and inner worlds, the phenomenon of distortion of the basic emotional needs of man and the objectification of reality. By implementing the decorative plastics of flat graphics into narrative 3D reliefs and short 3D animations, she creates sensual ways of visual disclosure of stories. Her favorite forms lie at the intersection of fairy tales, everyday life and classical art.

Teresa Rofer is a visual artist whose work investigates, from an experimental perspective, the expressive and formal possibilities of digital media and the way they are connected to reality. She completed her higher education studies at the University of Seville and the University of the Basque Country, working in advertising and image contexts until 2018, while simultaneously collaborating with visual and musical artists and cultural entities. Teresa Rofer creates pieces where she unfolds, always from an existential and intimist approach, enlightening points of view about the fragility of a utopian individual who does not renounce to express their direct experience of the world. The collective emotional traces which are somatized in the physical body, the intrinsic ambiguities of digital images or the frustrations of individuals exposed to a programmed impersonality. These concepts find in Teresa Rofer’s pieces, endowed with minimal narrative elements, a number of suggestive and novel hybridizations.
