Carole Kim is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on performance-based video installation. Her practice in time-based performance/ installations combines digital/ new media technologies and the sensitivity of the improvisational live performer/ participant. The work emphasizes video¹s capacity as a live medium and the illusory architecture of layered video projection in space. The moving image is spatially mapped onto a site, compositing in real space. One is aware that the projections are being constructed in the moment. Recent venues include REDCAT/Disney Hall, the Getty Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art-Los Angeles, the Stanford Jazz Festival and Engine 27 (New York).

Branden Koch lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Regarding his process he says "I like it when Painting keeps me on my toes: like a seductive lead on, perhaps a one-night stand. Dancing between a rough edge and a bad taste, a full belly and an experiment, a glancing observation and an improvisational cadence, where the process is never intended to fix itself and the outcome is a controlled experiment of the unexpected."

Mary Jo Toles is a Professor of Photography, currently residing in Cleveland, Ohio. She has been working with high-voltage imaging since 1971, when she discovered an article in a Russian scientific journal on Kirlian photography, and built her first apparatus for imaging with the assistance of a translator and an electrician. Her work is an ongoing investigation through process and materials. These investigations through series provide an extensive format in order to scrutinize details and focus attention on aspects and relationships of bits of experience of this world; This work often involves language, dichotomy, paradox – a world in an active, engaging state of constant change and chaos.
