Gaël Peltier
Gaël Peltier’s research deals with a set of notions related to the construction of the image, and specifically to the intrinsic temporality of the ‘image-movement.’ His works belong to the field of ‘expanded cinema,’ in which simultaneous practices compose a body of work that materializes through objects, photographs, films and performances. They show a confused dimension, an assented suspension of credulity, which is not unrelated to the experience of fiction. Peltier performed during the last Istanbul Biennial and has exhibited recently in CAPC, CNAC Villa Arson, France; Museo d’Arte di Nuoro, Italy.

Nika Oblak & Primoz Novak
‘The work of Nika Oblak and Primož Novak draws parallels between a society driven by personal needs and capital and their own role as artists in the contemporary art market. Infused with humor, their work adopts the visual tactics and seductive constructions commonly employed in the mass media to lure the consumer.’ (Yasmeen Baig-Clifford, Move – new European media art, 2009) Oblak & Novak have exhibited in the Sharjah Biennial 9, UAE; Istanbul Biennial, Turkey; Japan Media Arts Festival; Transmediale Berlin, Germany; and most recently in Biennale Cuvee, Linz, Austria.

Yoshihito Mizuuchi
Yoshihito Mizuuchi’s works originates from experiments with tape recorders in his elementary school days, when he mixed/collaged various sounds from different sources to create original and personal tapes. This approach to sound has determined his artistic process ever since. He attempts to find diverse significance in everyday objects from their juxtaposition and transformation. Mizuuchi combines one thing with another in fragments from various sources such as a wide variety of media, forms of expression and any phenomenon around us to free/subvert our perception and existing meanings.
