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.

Takahiro Iwasaki
Takahiro Iwasaki creates a unique world by combining a painstaking creative process with familiar materials. Close examination reveals miniature natural and urban landscapes, including towers created with threads pulled from fraying towels and socks, utility poles created with the lead from mechanical pencils, and mountain ranges made by carving erasers. The gap in scale and the displacement of perspective has the effect of surprising and delighting the observer. Although the scenes are so fragile that they could be destroyed by a simple touch, Iwasaki’s work emanates a powerful magnetic force that triggers people to ‘see,’ while the mountains and towns created with inorganic materials in fact appear organic, as though they have evolved naturally.
Takahiro Iwasaki is based in Hiroshima, Japan, and graduated from Hiroshima City University and Edinburgh College of Art MFA. Recent solo shows include Nichtlokalität, Nassauischer Kunstverein-Wiesbaden, Germany; Phenotypic Remodeling, ARATANIURANO, Tokyo. Group show include Our Magic Hour, Yokohama Triennale 2011,Yokohama; LUSTWARANDE`11,Tilburg, Netherlands; CONSTELLATIONS, Cornerhouse, Manchester, UK; everyday(s), Casino, Luxembourg; City-net Asia 2009, Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea; The Spectacle of the Everyday, 10th Lyon Biennale 2009, Lyon, France.

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.
