From Nature – an art and tech exhibition

Henrik Soederstroem is a multidisciplinary artist from Stockholm, Sweden. He works with computer graphics, interactive and generative video, sound, spatial installation and sculptural objects. His work explores the limits and critical points of aesthetic, technological, social and linguistic systems.

Pamela Z is a composer/performer and media artist working with voice, live electronic processing, sampled sound, and video. A pioneer of live digital looping techniques, she processes her voice in real time to create dense, complex sonic layers.

TUG Collective braids together creativity, critique, and citizenship through interdisciplinary art practice. Fostering social cohesion among community partners invested in civic engagement, we create contact zones where people can generate insights about, and produce actions around, contemporary social issues, all of which manifests in diverse artistic forms including performance, multi-media installation, and site-specific interactions.

Pat Badani is an artist, writer, and scholar born in Argentina. Throughout her densely woven research-creation journey she has drawn from the fields of art, science, and technology to develop projects that inspect social, biological, and technological networks.

Itziar Barrio is an interdisciplinary artist producing long-term research-based projects that involve different agents and collaborators. By rewriting the dominant narratives through which our societies, identities, and realities are constructed, her work opens up new futures.

Seth Cluett is an internationally recognized composer and artist whose quiet, patient practice explores the territory between the senses, with a compelling attention to perception. His work is driven by themes of ecological collapse and resilience, often expressed through materials found in nature.

Shawn Decker is a composer, artist, and teacher who creates sound and electronic media installations and writes music for live performance, film, and video. His is positioned at the intersection of music composition, the visual arts, and performance, using physical and electronic media to investigate, simulate and praise the natural (and unnatural) worlds.

Emmett Palaima is an artist working with electronics and esoteric processes of sound creation. His work is conceptually rooted in the idea that technology and magic are one and the same, and that electricity is a manifestation of the divine or elemental forces underlying physical reality. He creates instruments which explore the experience of sound as an embodied, physical process and the sculptural beauty of the systems used in sound creation.

Mari Kimura is a violinist, composer, technologist, and entrepreneur known for inventing the subharmonics technique, which lets violinists play an octave below the instrument’s range. The New York Times called her a “virtuoso playing at the edge.” A Guggenheim Fellow and 2025 SEAMUS lifetime achievement honoree, she has premiered works by Adams, Sciarrino, Berio, and Tania León, and collaborates with IRCAM on SOMAX – AI improvisation. A Juilliard faculty member since 1998 and UC Irvine Professor Emeritus, she created MUGIC®, a motion sensor used at Lincoln Center, the Venice Biennale, and Osaka Expo 2025.

The meeting between James Brandon Lewis and Floy Krouchi unfolds in an unknown territory at the frontiers of electroacoustic music, jazz/free jazz, and contemporary music. Both passionate improvisers, they have collaboratively explored a singular sonic identity, drawing on principles from Molecular Systematic Music—a system developed by Lewis based on molecular biology—and Space/Time/Vibrations from the FKBass, a hybrid bass instrument augmented with sensors designed by Krouchi.
