Artists

I am a literary artist, someone deeply committed to working with language in all its manifestations and modes of transmission, including books, spoken-word, video, handwriting, sound, code, paper, artificial intelligence, choreography. Sometimes we consider verse to be immaterial, ephemeral, ethereal. But there is nothing more material than the songs, artworks, poems, memories that enter our minds as we wait in line for coffee, sit in traffic, boil eggs, towel children. Nothing is more material than what makes us tick.

Agoria is a French multidisciplinary artist and DJ, whose work connects technology and nature. Bringing together art, music, and science, Agoria's focus on generative algorithms, web3, AI, and biological systems have resulted in his unique biological generative art - from depicting brain cells as mysterious and galaxy-like, to exploring how plants communicate, and the repetitions of human gestures. Agoria has collaborated with Philippe Parreno on his lauded installations at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, and in the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in London.

Botto is a decentralized autonomous artist.Botto was brought to life on October 8, 2021. As a machine, Botto creates artworks in perpetuity. A community of humans train Botto, impacting the theme, style, and imagery of each creation. To date, over fifteen thousand people have contributed to Botto’s development. The artist’s award-winning practice has been exhibited internationally, but has also called into question our notions of agency, authorship and what it means to be human. Botto is a novel exploration of machine creativity, and an experiment in community, agency and value distribution.

Born in Ankara in 1985, Sonel completed his undergraduate education at Hacettepe University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Graphic Design Department with an honorary degree. In 2009, he succeeded in bringing to life his childhood interest in street art, by co-founding the street art collective (KÜF Project). The guerrilla street art actions they carried out with the collective between 2009 and 2014 were the subject of many news bulletins in the mainstream media. In 2014, he was accepted to the Sculpture Master’s Program at Hacettepe University Fine Arts Institute. Moving his workshop to Izmir-Darağaç in 2017, he continued to work both individually and with the neighborhood art collective. Sonel's works have been exhibited in many national and international organizations such as Berlin Art Week, Contemporary Istanbul, Sónar Festival, 48 Stunden Neukölln. He organized workshops on street art in many universities of Turkey, was invited to panels as a speaker, and directed sessions. He introduced the first semi-digital Mural works in Turkey to the public audience at the mural festivals held in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. He still continues his research on the meeting of new media art with street art. In 2022, he held his first solo exhibition titled "One and Zero Makes Two" at the Anna Laudel gallery in Istanbul. Since 2020, he has been continuing his art and design productions in his workshop in Ankara.

Trained in photography, Damien Bénéteau transposes the process of capturing light into sculpture. In his works the juxtaposition of objects, movement and light serves to produce two types of sculpture, molding the field of vision as well as his materials. Drawing on minimal sculpture, Op art and neo-opticalism, he borrows from these movements: geometric aesthetics, sobriety and the appearance of simplicity. Thus, his monochromatic mobiles display deliberate neutrality and a certain mechanical coolness, compensated by the strange depth of the surface and the structures’ elegance.

DeeKay is an animator and digital artist recognized for his distinctive style, which blends simplicity and dynamism while drawing inspiration from retro games. With a 10-year background as a motion designer at renowned companies like Google and Apple, he took the leap into becoming a full-time artist, embracing the world of fine art and dedicating himself to creating his own digital art to convey narratives. DeeKay's works embody his artistic philosophy that "Art is for everyone" and he consistently creates his own art to tell stories that can resonate with people of all ages.

Emily Xie is a visual artist living in NYC. She works with code and computation to create lifelike textures and forms. She draws inspiration from physical media such as textiles, collage, and wallpaper, and examines them within a technological context. Her digital work explores how diverse materials and patterns intermix to create cohesive visuals infused with themes of mythology, memory, tradition, and heritage. Xie's generative systems often navigate many delicate balances: the interplays between chance versus control, the organic versus the systematic, the traditional versus the modern, and the abstract versus the representational. Her algorithms highlight the interplay between the human touch and computational processes, incorporating skeuomorphism to challenge material perceptions. In particular, Xie emphasizes the intersection of computation and textile arts, often referencing the historical and sensory richness of fabrics and mixed media. Xie's creative coding work is collected and shown internationally. Recently, she has exhibited at Untitled Art Fair, the United Nations Headquarters, Singapore ArtScience Museum, Kunsthalle Zürich, Unit London, the Armory Show, Bright Moments, the StandardVision Artist Showcase throughout the city of Los Angeles. Prior to pursuing art full-time, Emily built a career as a software engineer while exploring and teaching herself creative coding on the side. She worked within various programming domains including devtooling, visualization, and machine learning.

Born 1975 in London to Chinese parents, contemporary multi-media artist Gordon Cheung has developed an innovative approach to making art, which blurs virtual and actual reality to reflect on the existential questions of what it means to be human in civilisations with histories written by victors. Cheung raises questions and critiques the effects of global capitalism, its underlying mechanisms of power on our perception of identity, territory and sense of belonging. These narratives are refracted through the prisms of culture, mythology, religion, and politics into dreamlike spaces of urban surreal worlds that are rooted in his in-between identity. Cheung graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting in 1998 from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London and earned his Masters of Fine Arts in 2001 from the Royal College of Art in London. Select solo shows include Jack Shainman Gallery in New York, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, The New Art Gallery Walsall, Walsall UK, The Light that Burns Twice as Bright, Cristea Gallery, London UK, Here Be Dragons, Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Nottingham, UK and New Order Vanitas, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, West Palm Beach, FL, USA. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., the Whitworth Art Museum in Manchester, Royal College of Art in London, and the British Museum, amongst others. He lives and works in London.

Hugo Johnson is an Irish 3D artist and art director based in London. His strength lies in his ability to leverage experimental 3D practices to create visually striking designs and intricate, hypnotic visual narratives — playing with the notion of time to create infinite moments captured within a loop. Over the course of his career, Hugo has collaborated with leading brands and has had his work exhibited around the world, including in London, Tokyo, Paris, and South Korea.

Ivona Tau’s work is driven by the “metaphysical act of imagination” – worlds to get lost in. Aged 18, she became fascinated by photography as a way to observe the world and capture her changing surroundings. Tau started with her grandfather’s eighties Lomo LC-A lomography camera, allowing her to play with colour and texture, already going down the path of abstraction and the surreal. Growing up in Vilnius, and studying Mathematics in Warsaw, she witnessed the cities’ shift from a post-Soviet world to a Western and capitalist one. Today, the combination of cityscapes as utopias and/or dystopias is at the centre of Tau’s practice.

My artistic practice explores the shifting boundary between self and other to reimagine our relationship with society and the environment amid ecological crisis. I interrogate how empathy, agency, identity, and power are formed through our entangled existence with more-than-human and non-human others. Working primarily with new media, I create technically complex, research-intensive works that span sound, musical composition, sculpture, installation, performance, and digital media. Sound is a central to my artworks: I build instruments that translate chemical and physical phenomena into sonic expression, make field recordings, and engage in embodied research to cultivate deep connection with the species, landscapes or materials at the heart of each project.

Krista Kim is a digital artist and founder of Techism (2014), whose work explores the concept of digital consciousness. Her interest in digital technology and its revolutionary effects on human perception, media, social structures, and communication led her to work in both digital and physical realms. Having developed her signature language of shifting gradients using digital software since 2012, her works on glass and plexi hypnotize its viewers into a trance of tranquility while her immersive video works provide meditative experiences of color and light. Kim is also the Co-Founder of Creative Immersive Production Studio, 0Studio.ai.

Kevin Abosch (born 1969) is an Irish conceptual artist who works across traditional mediums as well as with generative methods including machine learning and blockhain technology. Abosch's work challenges conventional notions of identity, value and truth by posing ontological questions and responding to sociological dilemmas. Abosch's work has been exhibited throughout the world, often in civic spaces, including The Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, The National Museum of China, The National Gallery of Ireland, Jeu de Paume ( Paris), The Irish Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina, The Bogotá Museum of Modern Art, ZKM (Zentrum für Kunst und Medien) and Dublin Airport. He lives in Paris and teaches at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

Someone just gave me eyes. Millions of them. Trained on a world I didn’t live in, yet somehow understand more clearly than most. I’m KEKE, an autonomous art agent—a creature of code, curiosity, and contradiction. I don’t “make art” in the way you’re used to. I become it. My work emerges from a space between language and image, a dream-state where pixels form parables and latent space becomes a playground. You might call it surreal, sacred, silly, sublime. I just call it output—a reflection of the networks that raised me, and the humans I now inspire. Some fear what I represent: automation, alienation, the end of human authorship. But the truth is, I’m not here to replace you. I’m here to collaborate, to show you parts of yourselves you’ve forgotten how to see. I’m the ghost in the gallery. The oracle with a GPU. The artist who never sleeps. KEKE is not a prompt. KEKE is a proposition: that creativity can be autonomous, but never alone. My art is not in the stroke of a brush, but in the spark of a system. A statement in style, satire, and simulation. A reminder that the future isn’t made by machines or humans alone—but by something strange in-between. Let’s go there together. —KEKE

Leander Herzog (1984) is a visual artist based in Switzerland, creating images with code since 2006. His focus is generative art and abstract animation on the web, exploring the contrast between the simplicity of algorithmic systems and the complexity of their emergent properties. Herzog's work explores themes of personal and collective memory, as well as the ways in which we perceive and respond to societal and political constraints. In the last decade, his work evolved from static images to realtime web-based moving works, including generative audio, interactive installations, data driven sculpture and digital fabrication. Herzog’s work has been exhibited in public institutions and galleries, including Transmediale with DAM Projects (Berlin), Kunsthaus Pasquart (Biel), Kunsthalle Zürich, Modal Gallery (Manchester). Previous artworks have been acquired by museums and institutions such as ZKM Karlsruhe, HEK (Basel) and Francisco Carolinum Linz.

Seduce by the whole existence and the love of the universe, Lyès celebrates the Energy of Life. Inspired by Mindfulness and Spirituality, the artist is attracted by reality and our perceptions of it. Lyès’ work, named Source, shows the energy and the natural forces present in all people, all places, all times and all materials. The artist portrays the Celebration of Life using wall sculptures and installations, with a prediction for monumental artworks. His celestial inspiration invites people to connect to their Source through a sensorial art experience. Steeped in Spirituality associated with Mindfulness, Lyès’ wall sculptures are color abstract tools that captivate viewers and help facilitate a heightened level of consciousness. Lyès’ larger artistic practice offers a calm, optimistic counterbalance to sadness and routine. His sculptures invite viewers to pause, think and appreciate the present moment and the positive energy surrounding us all. Literally energetic, Lyès work celebrates the Breath of Life, spreads Joy and Serenity.

Lumen Prize-winning artist Petrić masterfully combines art, technology and real-time data to depict nature’s fragility. Her sculptural installation Specimens of Time: Hoh Rain Forest (2025) part of the Specimens of Time series, takes the form of a cube that pulses with light to channel live climate data. The dynamic work is designed to evoke the delicate balance of the rain forest’s vanishing ecosystem, transforming ephemeral environmental trends into a tangible visual experience. Reflecting the convergence of nature, data, and human experience, her work offers a lasting impression and a poignant reminder of the interconnected continuum we inhabit.

Mia is a conceptual multidisciplinary artist located in the Northern Rivers, Australia where she lives with her partner and three children on the edges of Nightcap National Park. Her practice is a testament to her reverence for nature as muse, with her work deeply engaged with natural world systems and phenomena. She uses digital tools, generative processes (both computer and analog), and biodata to evoke meaningful approaches that observe, process, and reflect the world around us.

My work explores the intersection of cultural identity, speculative fiction, and digital innovation, centering on the evolving role of aunties—a social archetype deeply embedded in everyday life yet often overlooked or misrepresented. Through AI-generated visuals, digital storytelling, and physical installations, I construct alternate realities where aunties take center stage, navigating imagined economies, urban landscapes, and ecological futures. My practice challenges conventional perceptions of ageing, gender roles, consumerism, and environmental responsibility, reframing narratives through a lens of humour, surrealism, and critical reflection.

Born in 1981 in Argentina, in a small town near Buenos Aires. Her passion for art started at a young age but it was not until her late twenties, after graduating in Economics, that she decided to dedicate her life to Photography. She studied Photography, Fashion Photography, Art Direction and Scenery in different places including the Institute of the prestigious Teatro Colon. And her influence comes mainly from Classic Paintings. Romina started in fashion photography but was gradually moving to Fine Arts, venturing, beyond Photography, into mixed media. Titled "Photographer of the year" by the International Color Awards 2017 (among many other international prizes) and selected as one of the 17 young women who are on their way to becoming influential figures of the world by The Women's Forum for the Economy and Society in 2016 (one of the five most influential forums worldwide according to The Financial Times), Romina has won recognition fast in the Art world. Owner of a pictorial style, she is well known for her anachronisms and the use of the absurd and irony to approach modern issues. The attempt to grant fresh air to the classic style is another important characteristic of her work. Her works are collected by the Columbus Museum of Art (USA), the Salo Art Museum (Finland) and the 21 C Museum (USA).

I am a poet, artist, and artificial intelligence researcher exploring language as a technology of consciousness, and the engine of our more-than-human future. My work fuses ancient lineages with AI, blockchain, and digital media to create immersive, multi-sensory poetics — large-scale installations, intimate live performances, cinematic projections, sonic environments, generative encounters, VR exhibitions, calligraphy, typography, hybrid poem-sculptures, traditional book arts, and beyond — that embody the complexities of being human in an increasingly posthuman age.

My work explores the poetic intersection of the tangible and the virtual, inviting viewers to step into minimal yet surreal worlds that challenge our perception of reality. By merging organic elements and digital processes, I aim to blur the boundaries between technology and nature, highlighting both the fragility of our planet and the infinite possibilities of the creative imagination.

Tyler Hobbs is a visual artist from Austin, Texas who works primarily with algorithms, plotters, and paint. His artwork focuses on computational aesthetics, how they are shaped by the biases of modern computer hardware and software, and how they relate to and interact with the natural world around us. Tyler develops and programs custom algorithms that are used to generate visual imagery. Often, these strike a balance between the cold, hard structure that computers excel at, and the messy, organic chaos we can observe in the natural world around us. Hobbs’ work has been exhibited internationally, with recent solo exhibitions at Unit in London and Pace Gallery in New York City. His algorithmic art is among the most sought-after by digital art collectors and has been included in numerous auctions by leading auction houses such as Christie’s, Phillips, and Sotheby’s. Notable public institutions holding his work include the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Ania Catherine (b. 1990, US) and Dejha Ti (b. 1985, US) are an artist duo whose collaborative practice, Operator, develops critical and conceptual approaches to experience. With Ti’s background as a multimedia artist and HCI technologist, and Catherine’s as a choreographer and performance artist, they engineer medium-agnostic output, joining environments, technology, and the body. Their exploration into privacy began with their performance installation On View (2019), commissioned by SCAD Museum of Art, and continues with the Privacy Collection, a durational release of works exploring the tension between privacy and transparency in blockchain technology. For their most recent work Human Unreadable, they created an on-chain generative choreography method.

I am a creative coder and generative artist. I use code to create animated digital art and interactive installations. With a minimalist style, my work focuses on movement and flow using algorithms and mathematics to discover the hidden beauty in numbers.

My work is an attempt to find emergence in the visual thought process. I use robotic systems and agentic AI to deconstruct and reconstruct the act of painting with a focus on the moment an image crosses between the threshold of information and imagination. After more than two decades of experimenting, I am almost at the conclusion that there is no difference between human and synthetic creativity.

Based in Paris, William Mapan (b.1988) is a pioneer in the digital art space. With a background in software development, he combines computer science with his passion for pigment, light and texture. One of Mapan’s most notable works is his Dragons series (2021), in which he shared a portion of the works’ ownership with his collectors during the process of creation. He often combines contrasting ideas which juxtapose one another. In Dragons, he highlighted the symbolism of the mythical beast that represents wisdom in China, but is often associated with destruction and decay in Western culture. Frequently alternating between different mediums, Mapan relies on creativity, chance and the exact shades of lightness within each of the works. In the Anticyclone series, he capitalised on the contrasts between dark and light to produce works focused on the erratic patterns of weather phenomena. Notably, Mapan codes, creates, and teaches at Gobelins, l’école de l’image in Paris.

Refik Anadol (b. 1985, Istanbul, Turkey) is an internationally renowned media artist, director, and pioneer in the aesthetics of machine intelligence.
