Read MoreIcaro Lopez de Mesa Moyano, also known as, Nene del Solar is a Colombian sound-media artist, musician and educator interested in creating instruments based on digital-electronic infrastructures for performing arts. In his artistic PhD Icaro researches the agency of gold used in electronic microchips and connectors, proposing music-sound instruments and performance as alternatives to reflect about environmental damage and ecosystem imbalance that gold mining and extraction has caused in territories around the global south. Thus, Icaro's interest in Elasticity arose from the research on the mining communities and bodies that stretch, resist and fight against gold and metal mining.

Read MoreAndrea Galiazzo (b. 1983, Italy) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. His practice interweaves conceptual and narrative expressions with biographical elements, everyday trivialities, and contradictions.

He studied at IUAV University in Venice, HISK Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Ghent, and received his MA in Art and Public Space from Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO). His multidisciplinary approach reflects an intentional resistance to specialization, choosing instead to explore the intersection of art and daily life through various media and methods.

His work has been shown in a duo exhibition with Marthe Ramm Fortun at Huset for Kunst & Design, Holstebro, and in group exhibitions at venues including Interkulturelt Museum, Oslo; Femtensesse, Oslo; The Autumn Exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo; The Drawing Triennial 2019; S.M.A.K., Ghent; and Kristiansand Kunsthall.

Nouf Aljowaysir is a Saudi, New York based new media artist exploring the underlying logic of technological innovations through a personal and intimate lens. Her recent work examines artificial intelligence and our evolving relationship with algorithms. Grounded in research and experimentation, her practice navigates intimate questions with AI tools to challenge their conventional utility and uncover their capitalist motivations. She highlights how artificial intelligence, built through a lens of Western reductionism, causes erasure and an algorithmic flattening of our world and stories through data generalization and biased, limited training sets.
Nouf has exhibited projects in galleries and festivals globally, including Centre Pompidou, New Museum, Museo Tamayo, M+ Museum, CPH:DOX, Tribeca Film Festival, PAF Festival and others. Her latest film Ana Min Wein? (Where Am I From?) premiered at IDFA and was officially released with The New York Times Op-Docs series.
