"text": "Filmmaker and artist Andrew Thomas Huang crafts hybrid fantasy worlds and mythical dreamscapes. A Grammy-nominated music video director, Huang’s collaborators include Bjork, FKA Twigs, and Thom Yorke, among others. Serving as creative director for Bjork’s VR exhibition Bjork Digital, Huang created multiple immersive experiences for the pioneering traveling installation. His films have been commissioned by and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, NY, The Sydney Opera House, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, LA. Inspired by his Chinese heritage and queer Asian mythology and folklore, Huang is currently continuing his foray into narrative with his first feature film, “TIGER GIRL,” which has received support from Film Independent and the Sundance Institute. Huang graduated with a degree in Fine Art and Animation from the University of Southern California."

"description": "“Mutant Bagua” is a 3D sculptural reinterpretation of the Taoist Bagua (八卦) as a machine-spirit interface. In the center lies the Chinese mythical pearl of knowledge engraved with the Five Elements, adorned with the Taoist talisman for “Opening of the Heart.” Enshrining the pearl are the eight trigrams of the Bagua, each representing a principle of reality translated into computational binary code: yin vs yang, 0 or 1. This sculptural digitization of ancestral code reinvents the form as a hybrid mutant sci-fi abstraction suggestive of queer robotics, drones, and imagined extraterrestrial technology.\nBy uploading ancient Taoist script into virtual form, “Mutant Bagua” serves as an ancestral portal to digital spirits that haunt the interface between Taoist structural code and digital data. As professor Alvin Eng Hui Lim states in his book Digital Spirits in Religion & Media, “Trigrams produce networks, simply by operating as nodes where gods pass their visions and energies to human subjects with the right access codes... Gods are only accessible when human agents enact the trigrams and numbers and use them as codes and passwords to tap into the divine sphere.” Through numbers, the god in the machine speaks.\n“Mutant Bagua” presents an opportunity to reimagine the Taoist binary—thinking of yin and yang not as fixed gendered arrival points, but as vectors in motion: data storage in flux that when combined can reveal an infinite spectrum of possibilities. Or, as Laozi riffed over 2000 years ago:\n“Tao produced the One.\nThe One produced the Two.\nThe Two produced the Three.\nAnd the Three produced the Ten Thousand things.”\n—Laozi, Tao Te Ching"

"text": "Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Brandon Blommaert got his BFA from Alberta University of the Arts in Calgary, where he eventually founded Western Canada's largest animation festival (the Giant Incandescent Resonating Animation Festival). In 2008, his involvement in the National Film Board of Canada's Hothouse young-animators mentorship program spurred a move to Montreal, Quebec, where he still resides with his four-year-old chimera son. His practice focuses on experimental animation and the many forms it can take on. With a heavy interest in visual music, surrealism, and sci-fi tropes, he easily jumps between a diverse range of mediums, from stop-motion to pure digital abstraction. Along with showing work online, his work has been exhibited in gallery spaces such as The Alberta Art Gallery, and International Film Festivals such as Annecy International Animated Film Festival, Animafest Zagreb, and Ottawa International Animation Festival."

"description": "The Blue Veil is best known for its geometric structure and ritualistic use in events such as the Cold Seance, Underveil Sightings, and Blind Wanderings. This flower has many stages: its birth stage, its flowering stage, and its mature or “fuse” stage.\nWhen matured to its fuse state, the Blue Veil can create a welcome symbiotic relationship with its host. Benefits to the host include an ability to engage with the underveil (see note 1) through CLEAR VEIN™ technology, which allows the flower’s roots to merge with the veins of the host (seen here). This allows the Blue Veil to release a steady drip of translucent fluid into the host, which can affect the skin of the host over time. Benefits enjoyed by the flower include a longevity of lifespan, and an ability to travel without rooting to its typically immobile substrate (often a rotting tree). This allows the flower to spread its jewel-like seeds near and far. The prominent seeds of the Blue Veil can be seen growing from the ends of stalks which resemble thread-like appendages. These stalks twist evenly into a spherical form (mimicking that of the crystallized sphere), with fleshy thin leaves that radiate up from the base of tendrils that allow the plant to soak in nutrients from the air. Negative consequences experienced by hosts are often debated, but some rituals associated with the flower-host relationship—such as the Blind Wandering—can result in hosts getting injured or killed, or simply disappearing.\n1. It has been argued that the underveil has never existed, since sightings of the underveil reveal other flora only to those with CLEAR VEIN™ linkage, and it has been hypothesized that these are ecstatic hallucinations caused by linkage and not in fact sightings into other worlds."

Taking forms including sculptures, writings, sound, digital works, video, and publications, her research concerns the material activation of the immaterial and vice versa. She’s had solo exhibitions at Artspeak (Vancouver, B.C), Ditch Projects (Springfield, OR), Et al. (San Francisco), Jupiter Woods (London), Pied-à-terre (San Francisco), and Portland Institute for Contemporary Art as part of TBA, and shown work at the Henry Art Gallery (Seattle), RONGWRONG (Amsterdam), BFA/Castiglioni (São Paolo), and Titanik (Turku, Finland). Her most recent book, “Age of Sand” (2019), was an eco-cyberfeminist mystic speculative fiction."

"description": "A deeply adapted hybrid, D. Flagellum has characteristics similar to those of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms on Earth. Classified as both flora and fauna, D. Flagellum might be best understood as an airborne plankta that is both photosynthetic and heterotrophic as it does consume other airborne organisms. It is notable for its unique adaptation which allows it to store compounds in a vacuole that can be accessed for growth when nutrients are unavailable in the environment. Between 20–200 micrometers in length, the organism is approximately the same size as the width of a human hair. Its morphology is characterized by its armored plates and its tendril-like flagella. The organism’s chloroplast-containing horns are extensible, which allows it to increase its surface area for photosynthetic production using the light of the suns. D. Flagellum may reproduce sexually or asexually. Occasional blooms of the organism can account for planetary haze over the southern deserts where its population is most concentrated."

"text": "Lawrence Lek (b. 1982, Frankfurt) is a London-based artist who predominantly works in video games, 3D animation, and virtual reality. He uses computer-generated imagery and interactive software to develop digital environments which he describes as “three-dimensional collages of found objects and situations.” Often set within alternate histories of real places or uncanny versions of the near future, his virtual worlds and films explore the impact of technology on society. His notable works include the video essay “Sinofuturism (1839-2046 AD)” (2016), the AI-coming-of-age story “Geomancer” (2017), the open-world game “2065” (2018), and “Nøtel,” a CGI simulation of a fully-automated luxury hotel (2019). His debut feature film, “AIDOL” (2019), was presented at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2020, and transmediale 2020 festival at Volksbühne, Berlin. Lek composes soundtracks and conducts live audio-visual mixes of his films, often incorporating live playthroughs of his open-world video games. His soundtrack releases include “Temple OST” (The Vinyl Factory) and “AIDOL OST” (Hyperdub), And his performances include “Doom” at Somerset House, London and \"ProGeo’, ICA, London. Recent solo exhibitions include “Ghostwriter,” CCA Prague (2019); “Farsight Freeport,” HeK, Basel (2019); “Nøtel,” UKR, Essen (2019); “AIDOL,” Sadie Coles HQ, London (2019); and “2065,” K11, Hong Kong (2018)."

"description": "The rare Temple Lily evolved in darkness, and draws on the vibrational energy of sound rather than light. Originally discovered in an abandoned club in London at 180 The Strand, the flower was replicated along with the architecture as a virtual space and soundtrack. The Temple Lily requires music in order to grow, and higher frequencies cause the flower’s characteristic interference pattern on its petals. Widely known for its therapeutic and healing qualities, multiple attempts have been made to clone the flower for pharmaceutical purposes. Despite these attempts, only several known specimens currently exist. The video shows it in its natural habitat, Temple Club, with ambient healing music playing on the soundsystem."

"description": "Nate Boyce works across sculpture, animation, and music. His work focuses on formal refinement and expressivity, employing digital tools to aggressively combine divergent types of sculptural and pictorial space. His formal intuition emerges from a close examination and absorption of art historical idioms which range from High Renaissance sculpture to Structuralist film. At once elegant and lacerating, the constituent elements of any given piece tend to coevolve on varying time scales where slow accretions of architectonic form intersect with fast autographic marks. In this case the piece presented, “Caylx” insinuates both a vegetal growth becoming an ornamental idealization of itself, and the structural fusion of a vessel and what it contains."

"text": "Peter Burr is an artist from Brooklyn, NY. A master of computer animation with a gift for creating images and environments that hover between abstraction and figuration, Burr has recently devoted himself to exploring the concept of “an endlessly mutating labyrinth.” These pieces have been presented internationally by various institutions including Documenta 14, Athens; MoMA PS1, New York; and The Barbican Centre, London. Burr’s practice often engages with tools of the video game industry in the form of immersive cinematic artworks. Previously, Burr worked under the alias Hooliganship and founded the video label Cartune Xprez through which he produced hundreds of live multimedia exhibitions and touring programs, which showcased a multi-generational group of artists at the forefront of experimental animation. His practice has been recognized through grants and awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Creative Capital Grant, and a Sundance New Frontier Fellowship."

"description": "“COUNT ZERO FOUR” is a digital sculpture embalmed by the artist in ninety nine layers of monochromatic husk. It is one of a series of “Count Zero” sculptures created in 2021 to simulate the feeling of falling into something with no bottom. Its name comes from the computer programming term “count zero interrupt,” which was invented by William Gibson to describe a type of computer crash that sets the system to zero."

"text": "Rosa Menkman is an artist and researcher from the Netherlands. Her work focuses on noise artifacts that result from accidents and glitches in both analogue and digital media. She believes that the results of these accidents offer important insights into the otherwise obscure alchemy of “standardization via resolutions,” which is a process that generally imposes efficiency, order, and functionality on our technologies. This process of standardization does not just involve the creation of protocols and solutions, but also entails the obfuscation and black-boxing of alternative possibilities—which, as a result, are in danger of being forgotten or forever unseen. Through her research, which is both practice-based and theoretical, she intends to uncover these anti-utopic, lost, and unseen or simply “too good to be implemented” resolutions as a way to understand, use, and perceive the world through our technologies."

"text": "Sabrina Ratté is a Canadian artist living between Montreal and Marseille. Her practice includes video, animation, installations, sculptures, audio-visual performances, and prints. Mixing analog technologies, photography, and 3D animation, she investigates the influence of digital and physical spaces and the interplay between these surroundings and their corresponding subjectivity.

"description": "“Floralia II” is part of a series inspired by the writings of Donna J. Haraway, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Greg Egan. The work plunges us into a speculative future where samples of then-extinct plant species are preserved and displayed in a virtual archive room. This archive room is sporadically transformed due to interference caused by the memory emanating from the listed plants, which reveal traces of a past that continues to haunt the place. “Floralia II” is a simulation of ecosystems born from the fusion of technology and organic matter, where past and future coexist in the perpetual tension of the present."

"summary": "This exhibition borrows its name from Willliam Gibson’s first published short story, “Fragments of a Hologram Rose” (1977). As the story notes, when a hologram is cut into pieces, even the smallest section still contains the whole of the image. In a similar way, plant cuttings and an edition of digital works can both hold these mirroring elements of origin and multiplicity.",
