In 2002 she formed a punk band “Vaadat Kishut” with whom she recorded an album and toured throughout Europe in 2004. She studied art and education in Midrasha School of Art, where she discovered the chiptune scene and began to make lo-fi electronic music under the allies "Bikecore". In 2009 she moved to Germany to study Art in Public Space at the Bauhaus University. More importantly she made her first viral GIF in 2012 and more recently had a meme hit in 2019 with "Business Techno Viking."

Andres Manniste has consistently factored the computer-networked environment into his art. His animated gifs are often integrated into a full-page experience, which includes multimedia and interactive components. The challenge of making a complex image from simple files is a lot like studio painting to Manniste, except that he uses code.
Manniste has participated in on-line events such as SPAMM_POWER (2017), Webbiennial #07 and #10 (2007, 2010), Urban Jealousy the 1st International Roaming Biennial of Tehran (2009) and Drunken boat #8 (2006). His work is in collections including the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art, Rhizome Artbase and the Canada Council.
Digital mixed-media artist Anne Spalter is an academic pioneer who founded the original digital fine arts programs at Brown University and The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in the 1990s. With a decades-long goal of integrating art and technology, Spalter has authored over a dozen academic papers and the seminal, internationally taught textbook, The Computer in the Visual Arts (Addison-Wesley, 1999). Alongside her studio practice, Spalter continues to lecture on digital art practice and theory. She is on the Digital Art Acquisitions Committee of the Whitney Museum of American Art.Spalter’s work is in the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum (London, UK); the Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, NY); the Rhode Island School of Design Museum (Providence, RI); and others.
Her artistic process employs a hybrid arsenal of traditional mark-making methods and innovative digital tools. A new body of work, further developed at a Winter 2019 residency at MASS MoCA, combines artificial intelligence image algorithms with oil paint and pastels.Having studied mathematics as a Brown undergraduate prior to her Painting MFA from RISD—and with additional cross-disciplinary masteries including a 2010 black belt and 2011 Sensei designation in Kenpo Karate—Spalter’s eclectic influences in the studio are as diverse as Buddhist art, Jungian archetypes, Surrealism, and pure mathematics. Spalter’s classical arts education combined with her foundational command of digital art theory suited her well when she transitioned from academia to a full-time studio practice in 2009.
For the digital art component of her mixed media practice, Spalter uses custom software and algorithms to transform both still and video source footage—which she captures in high resolution during multisensory experiences such as riding the Coney Island Cyclone; walking through an open-air flower market in Bangkok; and gazing down from a helicopter over downtown Dubai—into psychedelic, vibrantly rendered “Modern Landscapes.”Spalter is also noted for her large-scale public projects. MTA Arts commissioned Spalter to create a 52-screen digital art installation, New York Dreaming, which remained on view in one of its most crowded commuter hubs (Fulton Center) for just under a year. Spalter’s 2019 large-scale projects included a 47,000 square foot LED video work on the Hong Kong harbor.
Anneli Goeller is an artist who uses augmented reality, 3D simulation and artificial intelligence to speculate that the creation of algorithmic selves expands the concept of personhood. They seek to define queer narratives within the digital realm and examine the potential of digital world simulations in expanding individuality via data ownership. Their work proposes that dissociation in the context of PTSD could be used as a vehicle for research. Goeller received their MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has been exhibited internationally. They are an Instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Ben Sang’s work finds its conceptual roots in the fractal wave of the overwhelming. It fluctuates in the unchartable realms and patterned anomalies of distilled and defused fantasy, fanaticism, growth, depression, and love. Ultimate synthesis lies in the stirring collision of the pure and simple with the infinitely complex. It is in this focal point that concentration and release, self-purpose and post-nihilistic positive entropy peel illusion from one’s mind and heart. Sang is interested in the micro and macro states of these constantly moving currents of being. Sang thoughtfully explores deconstruction, the infinite progression of being across medium, and the ecstacy of self aware surrender.
Benjamin Gaulon is an artist, researcher, educator and cultural producer. He has previously released work under the name "recyclism". His research focuses on the limits and failures of information and communication technologies; planned obsolescence, consumerism and disposable society; ownership and privacy; through the exploration of détournement, hacking and recycling. His projects can be softwares, installations, pieces of hardware, web based projects, interactive works, street art interventions and are, when applicable, open source.

@carlagannis / @cdotadotrdotldotadot
Carla Gannis is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, New York. She produces virtual and physical works that are darkly comical in their contemplation of human, earthly and cosmological conditions. Fascinated by digital semiotics and the lineage of hybrid identity, Gannis takes a horror vacui approach to her artistic practice, culling inspiration from networked communication, art and literary history, emerging technologies and speculative fiction.
Carlos Saéz (Valencia 1988) is a multidisciplinary artist specialized in digital media. His principal object of study is the relationship between the human and technology, which he often develops in his work, bringing to the fore the aesthetic of the machinery itself and its programming. In his series “Hardware Fetish” the artist gives tribute to the abandoned technological apparatus, especially the screen. In this ambit, he creates pieces halfway between machine and religious relic in which he honors the negative space which the non-flux of information leaves behind. One of the most present concepts in his work is “morphological freedom” proposed in the philosophy of extropy. For this he makes use of media such as illustration, video or 3D, to capture the desire of the human being to modify his or her natural appearance in the virtual environment. In 2012 Carlos created Cloaque.org: a curatorial web project based on the concept of the “exquisite corpse” which other digital artists from all over the world have collaborated on. Carlos Sáz is represented by Espai Tactel Gallery.
Casey Kauffmann’s collage Instagram project @uncannysfvalley, started in 2014, consists of numerous works all created on her iPhone.

Casey was born in 1989 in the San Fernando Valley, received her BA from the Evergreen State College, and is now based in LA where she is an MFA candidate at USC. Her work has been shown at such venues as: The Brand Library, Leimin Space, Transfer Gallery, and others.
Casey REAS is a sad, old artist.
Cassie McQuater is a new media and video game artist living and working in Los Angeles.

Chiara Passa is a visual artist working in media art since 1997. She graduated (M.F.A.) from the Fine Arts Academy of Rome. Then she obtained a Masters in audio-visual media at the Faculty of Modern Literature. Her artistic research analysis differences in virtual spaces through a variety of techniques technologies and devices - often using and combining virtual reality and augmented reality technologies as artistic tools to explore architecture as interface, highlighting the liminal duality between tangible and virtual place, achieving in art a strange oscillation between spaces.

He currently resides in Denver, CO and is a Professor of Emergent Digital Practices and the Director of the Clinic for Open Source Arts at the University of Denver.
Chris Collins is infinitely fascinated in networked technologies as a cultural force and as a site of many inherent contradictions: a place of beauty and banality, of empowerment and surveillance, of connection and commodification. His work sits with these contradictions, attempting to find poetry, humor, and logic from within this awkward squirm of digital culture. He is based in Chicago, where he teaches at SAIC and UIC.

Claudia Hart emerged as part of a generation of 90s intermedia artists examining issues of identity, now focusing on how technology affects that, along with issues of the body, perception, and nature collapsing into it and then back again. Hart was an early adopter of virtual imaging, using 3D animation to make media installations and projections, and later as they were invented, other forms of VR, AR and objects using computer-driven production machines. At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she developed a pedagogic program based on this concept - Experimental 3D - the first dedicated solely to teaching simulations technologies in an art context. She lives in New York, works with Transfer gallery and bitforms galleries, and is married to the media artist Kurt Hentschlager.

Yes, Eltons Kūns is my real name and yes, my mother's favorite song of 1991 was, indeed, Sacrifice. By the way, Kūns is pronounced as (Jeff) Koons. In more ways than one, I am part knight and part asshole. I exist somewhere between true honour and false plagiarism – betwixt two extremes. Exactly in the middle I am. I was educated in New Media Arts, but as many of those exactly in the middle, I lost my calling somewhere between an unpaid bill and an open call. A loud voice of a huge white dog is my routine now as is the sweet laughter of a child. I am not a dog person, and the child is allergic to cats so I am a no person now.
Emilie Gervais' work focuses on languages, play and network culture while exploring the relationships between internet, art and its mediation, addressing topics such as identity, aesthetics, functionality, materiality and www archeology.
I work mainly with video, new media and installation. Using visuals and sound that draw upon video games, cartoons and the internet I have looked at ideas around feminism, capitalism, speculative digital utopias and the condition of being a millennial.I was born the same year as the public release of the internet. As a digital native, fantasy was always close and the classic characters of the 90s and 2000s have given way to the avatars and social media personae of today.My output is the result of a ravenous consumption of media, from the high polish of MTV; the jagged polygons of early PlayStation games; YouTube videos, and the lo-fi social media posts of my online contacts. Gloss and superficiality meet anti-capitalist critique, anxiety and a quest for a pleasurable life. I look into how the internet is used as a tool of expression, including ideas around agency both of the individual and of digital material. I contribute to the circulation of digital matter in all its excess, colour, glamour and repugnance: sometimes rapid-fire, sometimes a shifting, translucent dreamscape. I consider how the blurring between human and machine is changing experiences of womanhood, and how becoming cyborg is both a fantasy and reality, the future and the present.
It might very well be that I am an artist again.

Guido Segni — also known as Silvie Inb — b. 1991, Italy.
With a background in hacktivism, net art and video art, he lives and works somewhere, online and offline, playing with art, internet culture and data hallucinations.

Hannah Neckel, also known online as voidgirl79, is a new media artist from Vienna, based on the internet. She is currently a student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna at the Transmedia Art department. Always being fascinated by the internet and growing up online, her work is presented both online and in the form of immersive installations. Neckel is interested in how technology shapes emotion and influences the circulation of feelings. She explores the interpersonal relationship between us, our phones and thus our online lives, blending real and virtual. Claiming that the perception of reality happens through emotions, Neckel argues that there is no distinction anymore between online and offline as the emotions felt are the same in both spaces and merges these two further through the aesthetic experience created by the installations. Using vaporwave aesthetics is important for the artist in order to load the installation with emotional potential from nostalgia to happiness and melancholia and explore how the internet shapes emotions.
You did REAL good kid!
I won't forget it.
Here, go get yourself a PIZZA.
Look at the images.

Katherine Sultan Erminy aka data luminesence
@kathsultanfilmberlin
Katherine Sultan Erminy (Caracas, 1983) Visual artist/Production designer, filmmaker, base in Berlin. Her work brings together sound appropriations of cinema and music - minimalist, nostalgic and chaotic atmospheres. A small story that is narrated at random / from the audio visual collage resource, an invitation of calculated or random glitches into the cinematographic picture, the artist reminds us that cinema is not just a resource to reproduce reality, but it has the power to produce reality. As the scene begins to resemble a fragment of a dream or a hallucination, the subjectivity of perception comes to the surface, expanded infinitely in new depths. Eventually, erring from the expected path can lead to an unknown truth, an alternative narration and a poetic vision.

@molly.erh
Molly Erin McCarthy (b. 1995) grew up in a small naval town on the cusp of the millenium. She spent her childhood split between the rural landscape of Devon and Cornwall, mystical video game worlds, and internet chat rooms.
Drawing from her experience with early 00’s tech , and her dad's knowledge as a carpenter, McCathy's practice straddles IRL and virtual space, manifesting across 3D & new media. Utilising bright colours and whimsical forms, McCarthy’s process led practice explores techno-utopianism, post-digital materiality, hidden worlds, and the shattered sense of reality that defines modern life.

Morgan Green
@howshekilledit
b. 1989, Madison, WI
based in Los Angeles and Chicago
Morgan Green is a writer and artist who works to disrupt stasis in the way people read words and bodies. At present, she is scrutinizing the work that the digital does on the body, as well as the work that flesh does on machines. Ultimately, this means working beyond the place where machines and people begin to merge and into the genealogy of cyborgs. Her professional background as a coder informs and shapes this arena of her practice. She exploits computers for their ability to proliferate text and images rapidly. She uses code to recontextualize the component parts of signifiers, and in this way to spread apart the pieces of the constellated machines that restrict the body and the self. She is disassembling the web of cybernetic forces that accrete to structure time-space and thereby formulate body-minds.
Over the past three years, she has parsed and exploded language into increasingly small pieces, moving from rearranging words, to letters, to letter-components (line segments). She has also moved from disassembling and reassembling language manually to doing it digitally and mechanically. She has written scripts that generate and evolve new alphabets in seconds, as well as scripts that spontaneously generate new oeuvres for old poets. This work exposes both hard limitations and haunting possibilities within the creative potential of so-called “artificial” intelligence. Her synthetic poetry yields uncanny expressions of bodily sensation — suggesting that machines, like people, are as often hairy as smooth. She often performs and installs her work using organic materials, so as to lay bare the textured reality of the shaggy cyborg.
Nicolas Sassoon
@nicolassassoon
Nicolas Sassoon’s work has long been concerned with the tensions between the pixel and the screen, reflecting on their entanglement and materiality by constraining himself to experiment with pixelated patterns and figures as his sole visual language. This focus on early computer graphics is driven by the sculptural, material and pictorial qualities of this imagery, as well as its limitations and its poetics. While most of his output is published online, Nicolas also materializes his web-based practice into a wide range of Medias. His research often leads him to engage in cross-disciplinary projects in the fields of architecture, electronic music, textiles, and art. Nicolas is currently based in Vancouver BC Canada.

Olivia McKayla Ross is an 18 year old video artist and programmer from Queens. She makes videos and shares them with her friends. She is additionally interested in interrogating the faith economies that underlay electronics and communications technologies--thinking about how faith and trust are distributed between users and programmers. How is faith accumulated, monopolized, recycled, exchanged, embodied, assigned and weaponized between people, systems, ideals and materials? Emboldened by her perspective as a "digital native," she hopes her work will encourage her generation to nurture a critical relationship with technology and information.

Petra Cortright
@petra_cortright
PETRA CORTRIGHT (b. 1986, Santa Barbara, CA) is a contemporary artist whose multifaceted artistic practice stems from creating and manipulating digital files. Cortright’s digitally-conceived artworks physically exist in many forms - printed onto archival surfaces, projected onto existing architecture, or mechanically carved from stone. A notable member of what became known as the ‘Post Internet’ art movement of the mid-to-late-2000s with her YouTube videos and online exhibitions, Cortright later began to laboriously craft digital paintings by creating layer upon layer of manipulated images in Photoshop which she then rendered onto materials such as aluminum, linen, paper, and acrylic sheets. In addition to her 2D work, in 2018 Cortright premiered a new body of sculptural work in marble. As with her paintings, Cortright's sculptures are intended to capture and represent a digital moment - in this case a digital brush stroke - that is translated into a three-dimensional object via industrial fabrication techniques. Cortright’s role as an artist is an amalgam of painter, graphic designer, editor, and producer; culminating in a singular artistic reflection of contemporary visual culture that can exist on a smartphone screen, a Times Square billboard, and anything in between.

Rita Jiménez
@iritadescence
Rita Jimenez is a multimedia light-based artist from Jersey City, New Jersey. She documents light play and manipulation through photography and video. Video projections are often combined with other types of media and materials such as mirrors, prisms, and diffracted film. In the physical or virtual world, she aims to have viewers “escape” into a different world. She draws inspiration from the sublime, the surreal and the ethereal. Engaging social media, her newest project “Portals” are found stock images collaged with surreal video imagery. The videos are her own documented light footage of projections, water, and diffracted light. The found images are devoid of people, like empty hotel rooms or deserts. She is creating a narrative that magical worlds exist in forgotten, abandoned spaces.
She has a BFA in photography and an MFA in Light Media from New Jersey City University. She has exhibited in Jersey City, New York City, and Barcelona.

Rosa Menkman
@_menkman
Menkman's work focuses on noise artifacts that result from accidents in both analogue and digital media (such as glitch and encoding and feedback artifacts). The resulting artifacts if these accidents can facilitate an important insight into the otherwise obscure alchemy of standardization via resolutions. The standardization of resolutions is a process that generally imposes efficiency, order and functionality on our technologies. It does not just involve the creation of protocols and solutions, but also entails the obfuscation of compromises and the black-boxing of alternative possibilities, which are as a result in danger of staying forever unseen or even forgotten. Through her research, which is both practice based and theoretical, she uncovers these anti-utopic, lost and unseen or simply "too good to be implemented" resolutions -- to produce new ways to use and perceive through our technologies.

Sebastian Schmieg examines the algorithmic circulation of images, texts and bodies. At the centre of his practice are playful interventions into found systems that explore the hidden – and often absurd – realities behind the glossy interfaces of our networked society.

Schmieg works in a wide range of media such as video, website, installation, artist book, custom software and lecture performance. Schmieg’s works have been shown at, among others, The Photographers’ Gallery, London; Rhizome, New York; Transmediale, Berlin; HeK, Basel; MdbK, Leipzig; Panke Gallery, Berlin.

Shana Moulton
@shanamoulton
As an INFJ(Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging) (Myers-Briggs), I live in a world of hidden meanings and am more interested in what is possible than what is actual. My Abstract-Random (Gregoric) aspect prefers having a vivid imagination over having a strong hold on reality and I have supernormal intuition that can take the form of visions or uncanny communications with certain individuals at a distance. Finally, as an ARTIST (Dominant Introvert Abstract Feeler)(Spark) I have a rich inner life that sometimes turns the real world into a prison of foolishness and embarrassment.

Solimán López, born in Burgos, Spain in 1981, develops his artistic production between his studio in Paris, France (UAS, Updated Art Studio) and ESAT LAB, Innovation department that he runs at ESAT, Escuela Superior de Arte y Tecnología de Valencia, Spain. His career as an art historian and master’s degree in Art and Communication have conditioned his artistic evolution towards what we could call conceptual technological art. His work with the meaning and nature of digital archives, as shown by some pieces such as the Harddiskmuseum, an art museum on a hard disk, Framed Memory Card, Host-in, Langpath or File Genesis or more recent works in which virtual and analog worlds are connected through photogrammetry as in High Meshes, are examples of his interest in human presence and its impact in this era of communication and digitalization. In line with this breaking down of the two frontiers, we can find pieces such as GRID, an audiovisual symphony modulated in real time by the wifi signal of nearby devices, Celeste, which connects the digitised skies of different places in the world also, in real time, or Bioma, a sculpture that creates digital abstractions through biometric data of its environment. Technically, his works are achieved thanks to the combination of 3D techniques, electronics, software programming, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality and digital synchronization. His career has been built on festivals, biennials, art centers, events and museums in Spain, USA. U, China, South Korea, France, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Greece, Uruguay, Germany, England, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland among other locations, highlighting the events of the Biennial of Digital Art in Brazil, the Biennial Nemo de Paris (Variations Art Fair), the Chronus Art Center in Shanghai, ISSEA 2019, the ZKM of Karlsruhe, Art Santa Mónica of Barcelona, the CCCC of Valencia, the IVAM of Valencia, Etopia of Zaragoza, the CAB of Burgos, the CEART of Fuenlabrada in Madrid, La Lonja of Alicante, Cigarreras of Alicante, CAC of Málaga, Es Baluard museum of Mallorca or the Nuit Blanche of Paris 2019.

Often humorous, Ant’s work offers a way of looking at a fast-paced digital realm through a lens of irony and satire.
