Chan is a kinetic artist who creates mechanical sculptures. These sculptures investigate and display the intricate structures and mechanisms of clockwork, not as a means to an end but as an end in themselves. They are committed to exploring the dynamic relationship between moving objects and the space they inhabit. They evoke, uncannily, within the “white cube” space of the gallery, a mechanical, analogue world of material objects in real space, while the real world increasingly consists of a virtual space of pixels and screens. Chan received his BA in Creative Media degree from SCM in 2007.

Vvzela Kook is a new media artist who mainly works in audiovisual mediums, including performance, theater, computer graphics and drawing. Kook’s video works combine technology with her artistic practice to reproduce and convert urban cityscapes into an integrated virtual experience, guiding the audience on a cybernetic journey. The condensed textures in her works connect with multiple sensual levels in our perception and reintroduce the unexplored potential of video as a medium. The narrative plays an important role in her work, the transmedia storytelling is part of the artistic concept. Especially the mixing of delicate drawings, 3D printing and video game optics in her videos show the wide range of media and materials the artist uses to visually translate her research-based projects.

Samuel Swope’s practice is most recognized for his research and development of flight and air as medium. Merging multiple media and engineering practices, he constructs and controls aesthetic systems that work with air and are often themselves airborne. Throughout his practice he experiments with issues on the non-human, human-machine interaction, and emerging technologies to explore our place within these complex hybrid systems. Swope’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Washington DC; de Sarthe Gallery, Hong Kong; and Chronus Art Center, Shanghai. Swope’s studio is based in Hong Kong.

Davor Vincze is a composer of contemporary music whose artistic focus lies on meta-reality and musical mosaicking. Inspired by technology and science fiction, he searches for hidden acoustic spaces or ways to blur the real and the imaginary, often using electronics and AI tools. Working with mosaics (multiple copies of fragmented sound gestures), using technique he calls ‘microllage’, Vincze searches for fluid sounds that allow for non-binary, ambiguous, or "androgynous" interpretations.
