Bianca Tse (b.1982) an artist from Hong Kong, combines her expertise in visual communication with a deep passion for documentary work. Growing up in a Temporary Housing Area, she developed a strong connection to the themes of chaotic urban life and poverty. Her fascination with the history of Kowloon Walled City and her hometown fuels her artistic vision. Bianca's style is rooted in storytelling, weaving together Hong Kong's collective memories with the limitless possibilities of AI as a creative medium. By blending authentic history with imagination, she creates a captivating juxtaposition between the familiar and the extraordinary, breathing life into forgotten narratives and presenting them in a unique light.

Goh Chun Aik (b. 1992) is a Singaporean artist whose practice situates itself within the convergence of individual and shared realities. Drawing from personal experiences, the immediate environment, and overlooked moments, he examines how we process reality as a way to reconsider our relationship with existing systems and structures. Through his works, he strives to craft encounters that translate individual perceptions into tangible forms – typically existing as images and texts, and at times realised through collaborations and exhibition-making. In doing so, he hopes to manifest the vast possibilities that emerge when different worlds overlap. Chun Aik also initiated an instructional art project Process: Roving Ideas (2023) during the Singapore Art Week 2023, and co-runs Queensway Television, an independent video art space.

Jin Jin Xu (b.1994) is a Shanghai born, Macau and New York based artist whose "docu-poetics" practice interrogates mis/remembrance and self/erasure, bearing a poetics of witness to buried soundscapes, censored memories, and the hauntings within our most intimate relationships.

Samantha Lee (b. 1993) is a new media artist and creative technologist, working across video, sculpture, installation, and computational systems. Her work explores how technologies shape perception, memory, and the construction of the self. Her works intentionally resist easy documentation. Dimly lit and slow to unfold, they invite viewers to stay with what can’t be easily shared or replayed.

Seahee Chang (b. 1989) is a South Korean media artist whose practice investigates the intersection of movement, bodily perception, nature, climate, technology and the human inner world. Her early experience in dance fostered an embodied understanding of movement, which has since evolved into a central expressive language across video, hardware-based media, and installation. Her work spans a wide range of formats including art films, interdisciplinary performances, and brand collaborations, characterised by a fluid approach that traverses the boundaries of genre and media. Notably, "The Air House" - a music festival set in nature, conceived through her sensitivity to climate change and ecological thought- functions as an extension of her artistic practice beyond the conventional exhibition space, offering a collective platform where culture, art, sensory experience, and emotion coexist.
