Caroline Garcia
Caroline Garcia is an interdisciplinary artist working across live performance and video through a hybridized aesthetic of cross-cultural dance, ritual practice, and new media. Her work performances and video installations traverse a highly personalized aggregation of distinct systems that encompass live-green screening, botany, robotics, poetry, and virtual reality. Her most recent body of work serves to function as a reparative measure to contend with personal loss and the diasporic and post-colonial grief that accompanies it.
Caroline Garcia has exhibited work at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney; Manila Bienniale; and Art Central Hong Kong, among others.

Antoinette Zwirchmayr
Antoinette Zwirchmayr’s work consists of concise juxtapositions that reveal sensitive relationships between human beings, objects and nature. Her lyrical visual compositions show vulnerable surfaces separating the inner from the outer, where she examines stereotypical ideas of physique and identity. The reduced formal aesthetic that she employs is marked by a critical ambivalence and directs the viewer’s attention to details that are correlated in the transient and physical quality of analog film.
Antoinette Zwirchmayr has exhibited work at Berlinale, Germany; Toronto International Film Festival, Canada; and Austrian Film Museum, among others.
