Dianaband is an interdisciplinary artist duo consisting of Wonjung Shin신원정, and Dooho Yi이두호. Based in Seoul, their work is based on weaving everyday objects, landscapes and sections of contemporary society into sound, turning them into portable instruments, creating spaces where objects with sound and movement resonate. In their work, sound is a relational event, a structural device or situational event.

Valentina Vella (IT/US) is an interdisciplinary artist who makes autofictional work about precarity, mental health, love and post-capitalist imaginaries. She explores the way the body, sound and rhythmical patterns modulate, enrich and sometimes contradict language in performance. Whether she sings of the mundane cruelties of neoliberal existence or writes poetry interspersed with Norse mythology, found dialogues, recipe books, and Zen Buddhism, she is always propelled by an urgent desire for another world; conjuring strategies for change like a manic witch; and often admitting defeat. She is currently based in Rotterdam.

Mint Park is a Seoul-born/Amsterdam-based sound and new media artist who works at an intersection of music, technology, science, and art. In recent years, she has been researching the phenomenon of turbulence and making a weather-like ecosystem of fluid dynamics with sound, air, and lights. Her audiovisual practice focuses on the experience of the inter-weaving physical environment and virtual spaces within immersive environments created with sound, light, and spatial apparatuses. With her self-designed audiovisual systems and instruments that are spatial and site-specific, she makes live performances and compositions to question and understand the constantly fluctuating existential qualities in today’s binary space and machine-quantified time. Besides her own projects, Mint has been running Unheard Records, an electronic music label focusing on experimental music and sound practices of femme, queer and P.O.C artists.
