Felisia Tandiono
Felisia Tandiono is interested in observing sensory experiences. By inserting small interventions, she questions various processes in cultural production and constructs. Encouraging public interactions, her work strives to reveal a new outline of the possible: an emancipative act reacting from the dominant art system that affects social order in urban settings. Through conversations in the context of language, history, socio-cultural anthropology, science and technology, her work explores the relationship between perception and natural phenomena. By engaging human’s senses, she seeks further understandings of human’s data processing and mapping systems.
Felisia Tandiono is based in New York. She studied at New York University in the interactive design graduate program and graduated from the International Center of Photography in 2009. She holds a BA from Emerson College. Her individual work has been exhibited at Columbia University, Center for Performance Research, Museum of Art and Design, Camera Club New York, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, X-Initiative and the International Center of Photography. She has exhibited as a collective at the Bronx River Art Center, Dumbo Arts Festival and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. She was a fellow at Jamaica Center for Arts and a resident artist at Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

Bundith Phunsombatlert
Bundith Phunsombatlert’s recent projects trace the unseen paths of immigrants and their immigration stories through real and imagined landscapes. By merging contemporary technologies with traditional forms of media, the artworks offer a unique definition of new media art defined not simply by the use of technology, but by revealing a fresh new meaning of something old. His work seeks to explore ways that individuals connect with their personal backgrounds and cultural identities to reinvent traditional interpretations of history.
Bundith Phunsombatlert has exhibited work at Auckland Triennial Institution; New Zealand; Guangzhou Triennial, China; and Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Australia, among others. Currently, his projects are on exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art, Bronx Museum of the Arts, and Stone Avenue Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, all in New York.

Mircea Nicolae
Mircea Nicolae has developed a body of work researching the economical and socio-political structure of Bucharest. Through anonymous interventions in public space, he reflects on the social consequences of consumption, urban legislation and architectural production. In his latest work, Nicolae investigates the urban identity of a city in constant cultural and economic shift either by bringing outside public space inside the museum, or through means of serial photography produced with the help of a large format camera.
Mircea Nicolae (born 1980) is based in Bucharest. He was awarded the Special Prize and the People’s Choice Prize at the Future Generation Art Prize in 2010. Recent group shows include Pink Caviar at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek and One Sixth of the Earth: Ecologies of Image at Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, Leon. In 2011, he exhibited during the 54th Venice Biennial.
