Tamara Kametani
Tamara Kametani is a visual artist whose interdisciplinary practice spans moving image, installation, sculpture as well as web-based works. Using found digital material, online mapping apps, satellite imagery, and geolocation data, her practice and research are largely concerned with the topics of border politics, forms of surveillance and resistance, and the shifting relationship between digital and physical environments. She is particularly interested in the concept of techno-solutionism within the context of utopia and world-building.

Loránd Szécsényi-Nagy
Loránd Szécsényi-Nagy explores existential questions through creating technology-based experimental instruments. Drawing from the astronomical background of his family and scientific knowledge, he visualizes the space-time relationship and reveals invisible cosmic phenomena. His works expose the relativity of human existence and uncover hidden correlations in our cosmical experience. His light and sound installations result from continuous experimentation with various technical mediums. He creates self-invented instruments, which sometimes constitute the artworks themselves; other times he uses these to create imprints of his discoveries.
Loránd Szécsényi-Nagy has exhibited work at Light Art Museum; Kunsthalle (Műcsarnok); and Modem Centre for Modern and Contemporary Arts, all in Hungary, among others.
