Born in 1956 in Folkestone (United Kingdom), ANN VERONICA JANSSENS lives and works in Brussels (Belgium). Since the late 1970s Ann Veronica Janssens develops an experimental work that emphasizes in situ installations and the use of very simple or intangible materials, such as light, sound or artificial fog. The observer is confronted with the perception of the “elusive” and a fleeting experience where it crosses the threshold of clear and controlled vision, it is an experience of loss of control, instability, fragility whether visual, physical, temporal or psychological.

Miwa Matreyek is an animator, director, designer, and performer based in Los Angeles.

She has been an internationally touring independent artist since 2010.

Coming from a background in animation by way of collage, Miwa Matreyek creates live, staged performances where she interacts with her animations as a shadow silhouette, at the cross-section of cinematic and theatrical, fantastical and tangible, illusionistic and physical. Her work exists in a dreamlike visual space that makes invisible worlds visible, often weaving surreal and poetic narratives of conflict between man and nature. Her work exists both at the realm of the hand-made and tech. She travels as a one-woman show, often incorporating artist talks and workshops.

Shohei Fujimoto is a digital media and installation artist who worked at interdisciplinary technology collective teamLab before striking out as an independent creator. His works explore the relationship between light and geometric patterns and have been exhibited both domestically and internationally at pioneering events, including Berlin Atonal and MUTEK. 

From cathedrals of light to the most fleeting of flickers, Japanese artist Shohei Fujimoto’s luminescent installations dramatise the opposition of chaos and order with startling results. Abstract in nature and minimalist in form they reveal to the viewer the elaborate and invisible systems that underlie our reality, making visible the powerful forces that shape our every moment.

As a pioneer of the so-called “Light and Space” movement that flourished in Southern California in the 1960s and 1970s, Doug Wheeler’s prolific and ground-breaking body of work encompasses drawing, painting, and installations that are characterized by a singular experimentation with the perception and experience of space, volume, and light. Raised in the high desert of Arizona, Wheeler began his career as a painter in the early 1960s while studying at the Chouinard Art Institute (now the California Institute of the Arts) in Los Angeles. According to critic and curator John Coplans, Wheeler’s “primary aim as [an artist] is to reshape or change the spectator’s perception of the seen world. In short, [his] medium is not light or new materials or technology, but perception.”1

ATELIER BRÜCKNER conceives and designs narrative architecture and spaces for brands, exhibitions, trade fairs and museums. From content and messages, we develop surprising ideas and create memorable concepts that set international standards. “form follows content”, whereby design is no longer to be defined solely according to functional points of view but is to be derived from content, is a consistent further development of Sullivan’s “form follows function” and has become the guiding principle of the scenographic enterprise.

Since 2012, I've created a series of simulations that explore an agent’s capacity to deal with an ever-changing environment. These works culminated in the Emissaries trilogy, which introduced a narrative agent - the emissary - whose motivation to enact a story was set into conflict with the open-ended chaos of the simulation. Most recently, I've been developing BOB (Bag of Beliefs), an AI creature whose personality, body, and life script evolve across exhibitions.

In 2015, I founded Metis Suns, a production company dedicated to worlding and worlding literacy.
