Yu-Hsien Su
Yu-Hsien Su’s work focuses on the feeble sense of reality in people’s daily lives. The subject matter of desolate people or those leading barren lives with a sense of non-existence is often seen in the artist’s work. Su tries to capture this reality by constructing and adhering to various rules, forms, games or recognized perceptions. The act of capture is meant to highlight the distance between reality and the perceptions of his subjects.
Su was born in 1982 and lives and works in Taiwan. He studied at the Department of Plastic Arts, National Tainan University of the Arts. Solo exhibitions include: Living in detail, Gwangju Museum, Korea; Ice Mountain, Pyo Gallery Seoul, Korea; and I am Pluto yo, VT ArtSalon, Taipei. Su’s latest show was in the 54th Venice Biennial Taiwan Pavilion, The Heard and the Unheard – Soundscape Taiwan.

Mu Li
Mu Li works with video, photography, installation and performance art. His work transcends the boundaries of the artist by broadening his personal understanding of art through the works themselves. Everyday life also plays an important role in Li’s work, in which a relationship between the environment, the general public, and the artist is established. Often, the boundaries between art and life are questioned by the artist’s personal experiences portrayed in his work.
Mu Li (born 1974, Feng County, Jiangsu Province, China) lives and works in Shanghai. He graduated from the Suzhou School of Art and Design, Suzhou, 1995 and the Academy of Art of Tsinghua University, Beijing, 2001.

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.
