Emily Xie

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.

Gordon Cheung

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.

Kevin Abosch

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.

David Sheldrick

During the COVID pandemic he began using AI software and has been producing AI content for clients that include Manchester City FC, Coke Studios, Standard Chartered Bank, Mercedes Benz, Stone Mountain Georgia, and some of the most popular clubs and DJs in London.

Lyès

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.

Tyler Hobbs

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.

Zachary Lieberman

Zachary Lieberman is an artist, researcher, and educator with a simple goal: he wants you surprised. In his work, he creates performances and installations that take human gesture as input and amplify them in different ways -- making drawings come to life, imagining what the voice might look like if we could see it, transforming people's silhouettes into music. He's been listed as one of Fast Company's Most Creative People and his projects have won the Golden Nica from Ars Electronica, Interactive Design of the Year from Design Museum London as well as listed in Time Magazine's Best Inventions of the Year. He creates artwork through writing software and is a co-creator of openFrameworks, an open source C++ toolkit for creative coding and helped co-found the School for Poetic Computation, a school examining the lyrical possibilities of code.

Romina Ressia

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).
