Anton Cabaleiro
Anton Cabaleiro explores the relationship between new technologies and society through digital means. His work includes the different phases of the creative process, from graphic design stages to the final audiovisual result. In his single-channel videos and video installations he mixes several techniques, such as motion graphics, animation and augmented reality, to combine real and virtual elements within the same environment. He employs concepts from landscape design, anthropology, philosophy and mass media theories to create a synthetic, clean, compact and direct work; paying special attention to how the various real and virtual layers interact with each other.
Anton Cabaleiro (born 1977 in Spain) received a MFA in Computer Arts from the School of Visual Arts, New York; a MS in Landscape Design from Columbia University, and a PhD in Art, Design and Technology at the Complutense University, Madrid. Past exhibitions include the Bronx Museum Biennial, New York; Armory Show, New York; New York University, New York; Museum of Art and Design, New York; Times Square Public Space Projects, New York; Under the Bridge Festival, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art of Vigo, Spain; the Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art, Spain; ARCO International Fair of Contemporary Art, Madrid; The Cervantes Institute, Beijing; Marisa Marimon Gallery; Marlborough Gallery; and the Loop International Fair of Video, Barcelona.

Beli Sladoled
Beli Sladoled (white ice cream) is an artist collective consisting of two “academic painters,” Miha Perne and Leon Zuodar. Beli Sladoled experiment with drawing and work on the principle of the “Kinder egg”, where each exhibition is a surprise on its own. The collective considers the broader meaning of drawing, not just a framed picture, but rather as a part of every day life, engaging in various opportunities and situations. Their drawings are living forms that set off visible reactions among viewers, mostly laughter. Beli Sladoled play with casualness and humor in their practice, approaching drawing as far more than a sterile fine art medium. Besides their permanent collection of drawings, they have released an independent experimental comic strip album, a book compilation of drawings from different European artists, and many other book projects. Beli Sladoled have also collaborated on various artistic events, exhibitions and publications.
Miha Perne (born 1978, Ljubljana, Slovenia), graduated in photography from the Secondary School for Design and Photography and studied art history at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana. He completed his studies in 2004 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana as a painting student under the mentorship of professors Zmago Jeraj

Yen-Hua Lee
Yen-hua Lee works with drawings and light, and her current project involves a collection of timeworn books published in various countries around the world. Lee seeks out the books on her own and accepts donated copies from friends. Anthropomorphizing the books, Lee considers their journey from publication to destination, and she views her time traveling with the books as a dialogue. She is currently developing an installation work and video, and she intends to use incense to make holes on the pages of books, which will then be projected with light. For Lee, creating holes is a process of making space.
Yen-Hua Lee (born Taiwan) graduated from the National Art University of Taiwan in 2002 and earned a MFA in 2007 from Northern Illinois University. Lee has received several art residency fellowships and her work has been shown in Argentina, Austria, Canada, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, and the United States.
