• Daniel Jenatsch is an Artist and Music Producer from Melbourne, who makes audio and video works that explore the interstices between affect and information. His work combines hyper-detailed soundscapes, music and video to create multi-media documentaries, installations, radio pieces and experimental opera, and music. His work looks at the social construction of subjectivity, with a concern for the ways in which forms of knowledge and power construct and inform our social and mental ecologies.His works have been presented in ACCA, Arts House, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, the Athens Biennale, Nextwave Festival, ACMI, Liquid Architecture Festival, the MCA Sydney, and the MousonTurm, Frankfurt.
• Diego Ramirez is an artist, writer and occasional curator. He works primarily with video and pictures to develop installation projects for gallery contexts. His sullen work consists of cinematic and pictorial montages that combine new content with found material to re-evaluate media. Key areas of interest include the legacies of colonialism in visual culture; the rhetoric of the image; and the concept of terror as a response to the other. He is represented by MARS Gallery (Melbourne). He has held solo exhibitions and individual screenings at the Australian Centre for The Moving Image (Melbourne); MARS Gallery (Melbourne); Perth Centre for Contemporary Photography (Perth); and multiple artist run spaces. His work has been included in group exhibitions at Art Central Hong Kong (Hong Kong); Torrance Art Museum (Los Angeles); WRO Media Art Biennale (Wroclaw); Hong-Gah Museum (Taipei); Australian Centre For the Moving Image (Melbourne); Hazelhurst Regional Gallery (Sydney); Careof (Milan); Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre (Sydney); and NAS Gallery (Sydney).

• Katie Paine is a Naarm/ Melbourne-based artist and writer whose practice investigates systems of meaning-making, specifically, the role images and language play in constructing narrative. She investigates the acts of speaking, reading and writing: these tools are often used to successfully communicate knowledge but in her work she explores the ways that they can be fallible, porous and mutable. Within her work Paine uses text, drawing, video, assemblage and installation to explore our collective conceptualisation of time and the way systems of meaning-making are culpable of perpetuating fraught narratives, particularly in relation to our understanding of history. Paine has exhibited at c3 Contemporary Art Space, Kings ARI, Seventh Gallery, Channels Festival, Blindside ARI and La Trobe Art Institute.

Her performances and installations have been exhibited at spaces including Casula Powerhouse, Bus Projects, SEVENTH Gallery and c3 contemporary artspace.
