Martyna Marciniak’s practice bridges media theory, and legal imaginaries to trace how power inscribes itself through image regimes and visual infrastructures. Often revisiting historical events, her work engages in a form of pataforensics—poking at the tropes of scientific and forensic aesthetics, revealing their uncertainties, contradictions and lapses. Oscillating between sculpture, video and animation, she writes visual counter histories, and smuggles in other ways of seeing. Her work has been shown by Onassis Stegi, Copenhagen Contemporary, Ars Electronica, Galerie Stadt Sindelfingen, Warsaw Biennale, LABoral Centro de Arte, among others.  She is the 2025 CERN Collide resident. Her project ‘Anatomy of Non-Fact’ received the Award of Distinction Prix Ars Electronica in 2025.

Mariana Marangoni is a Brazilian artist, researcher, and lecturer in MA Interaction Design at the London College of Communication. Her work utilizes installations and visual poetry to explore media materiality, the aesthetics of decay, and unconventional computational paradigms. Currently a PhD student at the UAL Creative Computing Institute, Mariana has exhibited and presented her research internationally at venues such as the V&A, Ars Electronica, and Transmediale. She is a core member of the Critical Climate Computing Research Group at UAL.

Shaheer Tarar is an artist and geographer based in London. His work pursues stories buried in time, space, sediment, and code, examining artifacts that shape how the world is seen and governed. These investigations take the form of net art, experimental video games, and networked sculptures. His recent work traces how digital images are haunted by the infrastructures that produce them—and how those images, in turn, generate multiple and often competing worldviews. He is currently a Lecturer at Central Saint Martins and a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto, where he researches internet geographies.

Valia Lolidou is a visual artist based in Berlin. Her work explores the concept of the uncanny, addressing themes of identity, solitude, and human nature and aiming to bring the viewer to a state of vulnerability. The visual media she uses are photography, video-art and room installations, while the elements of the nude body and repetition play a dominant role in her work. She studied at the School of Visual and Applied Arts (AUTh) after passing the entrance exam for people with a special artistic predisposition, where she received her Integrated Master of Fine Arts degree in 2022. Valia is currently based in Berlin, where she is pursuing her Master's degree in Scenography at the Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK).
