Monika Czyżyk is a Polish visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland. She works with dirty media: moving images, VR and clay within the context of experimental documentaries and socially engaged projects. Monika collects clay from a variety of places and uses it to create spiritually driven clay window paintings. Her working methodology is divided into travel-led and site-specific research and studio practices based on Vartiosaari Island in Helsinki, where she is part of the Vartiosaari Island association. She considers the island as an active partner and collaborator in all her projects. Her work has been shown in exhibitions and festivals including Malmö Konstmuseum, Sequences biennial, Reykjavik, Sinne gallery, Helsinki, Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart, and Floating University, Berlin.
Neil Luck is a composer and performer based in London. His work explores the pathos between live performance and multimedia, and attempts to frame the act of music making as curious, weird, useful, or spectacular in and of itself. He has presented work internationally at Whitechapel Gallery, MATA Festival (NYC), Tate Britain, Tate Modern, BBC Proms, Palais de Tokyo, and the Tokyo Experimental Festival. His music is released on labels including Entr’acte, Nonclassical, and Accidental Records.
