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.

Ursula Mayer
Ursula Mayer works predominantly in film but her practice also encompasses sculpture and photography. In her most recent body of work, she dismantles the elements of cinematic narrative; numerous flashbacks and other challenges to the cinematic norm of temporal linearity punctuate her films, calling into question how conventional imagery is constructed.
Ursula Mayer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and completed her MA in 2005 at Goldsmiths College in London, where she has been based since. Her films have been presented at film festivals including Locarno, Oberhausen and Rotterdam. Recent solo exhibitions include Kunstverein, Hamburg; ICA, London; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Frame, Frieze Art Fair, London; Lentos Art Museum, Linz; and Centraal Museum, Utrecht. Her works were recently screened in Centre Pompidou, Paris; Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; Bonnier Kunsthalle, Stockholm; PS1, New York; Kunsthalle Basel; New Museum, New York; 2nd Athens Biennial; 4th Tirana International Art Biennial. Later this year she will exhibit her work in Short Stories in the SculptureCenter in New York.

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.
