Based in Vienna since 2017, Mary Maggic works as an artist and researcher within the inter-permeable relations of capitalist ecological alienations. Drawing upon the concept of public amateurism, Maggic's practice revolves around workshopology and biohacking as critical sites of care and knowledge production that can move us beyond toxicity narratives and ecological ruins. After completing their Masters at MIT Media Lab (Design Fiction research group), their project “Open Source Estrogen” was awarded Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica '17 in Hybrid Arts. In 2019, they completed a 10-month Fulbright residency in Yogyakarta, Indonesia investigating the relationship between Javanese mysticism and the plastic pollution crisis. In 2022, Maggic received the 2022 Knight Arts + Tech Fellowship, and continues to collaborate within the global network Hackteria: Open Source Biological Art and the Asian feminist collective Mai Ling.

Lotta Stöver is an emerging artist in the fields of media, technologies and research. Her works engage with phenomena and matters as they converse, align, disobey, transform, de/transition and mutate along with (new) technologies. Through processes of poetic engineering, digital imaging methods, writing, and involving data and matter in an embedded and embodied manner, her artifacts pose questions about (social) norms implied by natural and technological environments. Her work forms around this materially thinking-with the social domain of technologies, resulting in observations, critique, queer alternatives and utopian proposals.

She works in various formats as installations, electronics, software, photographs, writing and publications. She is a founding member and co-editor of the ongoing techno-feminist publication series href zine. 

Artist and researcher Tim Shaw works with sound, light, and communication media to create performances, installations, and site-responsive interventions. His practice spans environmental sound art, digital media, media archaeology, walking, and installation making. Previously, Tim has developed artistic mechanisms to listen into the sound-worlds of insects, created augmented soundwalks, designed performances for high voltage devices, broadcast radio through trees, listened to network latency through time stretched bells, and extracted musical material from rocks. He frequently presents his work at festivals, in forests, caves, warehouses, up mountains, and in museums and art galleries all over the world.

Eugénie Desmedt lives and works in Vienna.
