About the artists:
Sabine Gruffat works with experimental video and animation, media-enhanced performance, participatory public art, and immersive installation. In this work, machines, interfaces, and systems constitute the language by which she codes the world. The creation of new ideas means inventing new ways of using existing tools, crossing signals, or repurposing old hardware. By actively disrupting both current and outmoded technology, Gruffat questions the standardized and mediatized world around us. (www.sabinegruffat.com)
Bill Brown is a media artist interested in ways landscape is interpreted, appropriated, and reconfigured according to human desires, memories, and dreams. In addition to his filmmaking, he is the co-director of the Cosmic Rays Film Festival, and writes a travel zine called Dream Whip.(www.heybillbrown.com)
