Dennis Dizon is a research-based artist and writer. Their practice examines intersections of technology and ecology, applying queer and decolonial practices in its poetics, urgencies, and speculative futures.

Nicole L’Huillier works with sounds, vibrations, resonances, and multiple transductions to explore more-than-human performativity and agency from micro to cosmic scales; to create membranal and resonant (neo)rituals; and to investigate vibrations and sounds as construction materials for spaces and identity. She was an artist-in-residence in the 2022 transmediale Chile residency programme.

Nina Davies is a Canadian-British artist who considers the present moment through observing dance in popular culture; how it's disseminated, circulated, made, and consumed.

Nadim Choufi

bela is a performance artist and a musician based in Seoul and Berlin.

Simone C Niquille is a designer and researcher whose work investigates how computation functions as a contemporary optical system. Working with vision technologies such as computer vision, 3D animation, computational photography, and synthetic training datasets, their practice examines how images no longer simply represent the world but actively organise perception, legibility, and reality itself.

Bahar Noorizadeh looks at the relationship between art and capitalism. In her practice as an artist, writer and filmmaker, she examines the conflictual and contradictory notions of imagination and speculation as they suffuse one another.

Lolz is one of the scene’s most in-demand DJs, described as a lynchpin of Irish electronic music.
