jiawen uffline
jiawen (they/she) exists as a user most of the time in their life, having little agency as a standard user, both technologically and politically, she seeks for otherwise possibilities for queering the given identity of a user, their wish is to be an analogkäse in the digital figurations and drip sizzling fat on the cables and ports.
apart from that, jiawen’s research focuses on technology as memory and desire, with contaminated history but appearing pure, sterilized, decontextualized and dehistoricized, reducing rather than relating. jiawen looks into the (counter)history, materiality, poetics and politics of technology. she sees ŀæÅk as an instance of the space-time continuum and a definite part of the digital reality, and leaking as a method to survive together.

Chaeyoung Kim & Francesco Luzzana
You are looking at a Venn diagram with the following sets: software, performance, drawing, documentary, birds, drawing again, coloring, hosting, publishing, humor and intimacy. In some of their intersections you read the name Kamo. In others you will see the name Chae. They collaborate under the alias DIWO working group, exploring drawing as an open source practice. They host workshops, develop situated software and participate in different networks with a focus on free and open source technology. Their publications are distributed by the Blob Shop Collective.

Sabina Köfler
Sabina Köfler first studied graphic design and photography at the University of Arts Linz and later molecular biology at the Johannes Kepler University Linz. She worked for many years as a freelance journalist, workshop leader, web developer, artist and cultural worker before moving to the Department of Pathology and Molecular Pathology in 2021. Since then, she has been using her self-acquired IT skills in medical research. In her research, she focuses primarily on digital pathology, which uses advanced technologies to analyze and interpret digitized tissue samples. With the help of digital pathology, she endeavours to improve diagnostic procedures and gain deeper insights into disease mechanisms.

Błazej Kotowski
Błazej Kotowski is an artist and researcher born and raised in Poland, currently based in Barcelona. Situated at the intersection of art, sound, technology, software, and politics, his work delves into the transformative impact of new technologies on the human psyche, with a particular focus on the notion of the (cyber) sublime — an aesthetic of digital awe and wonder. Driven by a passion for comprehending the evolving relationship between humanity and technology, Błazej crafts speculative narratives that manifest as sound works, generative systems, installations, and performances. In his research, he is currently pursuing a PhD at the Music Technology Group, where he examines the intricacies of AI’s architectural design.

Michelle Mottl
Michelle Mottl, originally from Hungary, studied medicine in Târgu Mures, Romania, and moved to Austria in 2019. There, she started her pathology residency in the Institute of Pathology and Molecular Pathology at the Kepler University Hospital in Linz.
As a resident, she collected and prepared tissue samples for the project, helping to highlight the beauty and complexity of human tissue.
Simone C Niquille
Simone C Niquille is a Swiss designer and researcher based in Amsterdam NL. Through technoflesh Studio she produces films and writing that investigate computation as the new optics. Her work is concerned with vision technologies, the images they make and the worlds they create – from computer vision, 3d animation, computational photography to synthetic training datasets. Her work advocates for non-binary technology and against machine learning as a tool to validate and instrumentalize assumptions and reduce reality.

Sofia Talanti
Sofia Talanti is an Italian digital artist and 3D designer based in Linz, Austria. Their practice is developed through the study of new technologies for manipulation of sculptural forms of digitally conceived objects that always have an impact on reality. In 2018 they graduated in sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara and worked as an assistant for the artist Rob Voerman in the Netherlands. In 2019 they got a master’s degree in Exhibit Design at the Institute for Art and Restoration of Palazzo Spinelli in Florence. They are currently studying at the master Interface Cultures in the University of Art and Design in Linz.
