James George is a media artist and software developer using code to create images and interactions in physical space. His work seeks to create illusory and playful experiences by taking the form of permanent installations, experimental film and mobile applications. Inspired by emerging technology, he hacks cameras, screens and sensors to discover their unintended expressive potential. Through sharing his software and teaching workshops, he enables others to express themselves using the tools he develops. His projects have been exhibited at The Conflux Festival (New York 2009), Beall Center for Art and Technology (USA 2010), Enter5 (Czech Republic 2011) Interaction IOI (Spain 2011), and The Creators Project (New York 2011). He directed software development to create permanent installations for the University of Central Florida and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England in 2011.

James is currently a fellow at the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University where he is conducting ongoing interviews with the leading minds in art and technology; capturing them with a novel form of 3d scanning combining depth sensing cameras and DSLR video. He is also an adjunct faculty at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunication Program where he instructs on the appropriation of game engines towards interactive installations.

Ramsey Nasser is a New York based computer scientist investigating programming languages as mediums of self expression. By looking at code as a vehicle of thought, he develops new languages to explore the relationship between human imagination and machine instruction. Zajal, his first language in this inquiry, is an attempt to reduce the friction between an artist's creative vision and functioning software.

His other work includes software and game design. Recently, he collaborated with IGF-nominated game designer Kurt Bieg on Twirdie, a Twitter powered golf game that uses the world's conversations as its core mechanic.

Ramsey's work has been featured on NPR, in ACM publications, at Babycastles, and at the Game Developers Conference.

Daniel Neumann is a Brooklyn-based sound artist and audio engineer, originally from Leipzig, Germany. In Leipzig, besides getting his degree in media art at the Academy of Visual Art, he co-organized ‘AlulaTonSerien’, a platform for sound art and electro-acoustic music that featured concerts, workshops, soundwalks, CD releases and a radio show. He also studied electronic music composition under Emanuelle Casale in Catania, Sicily.

In his artistic practice he is using conceptual and mostly collaborative strategies to explore sound and sound material and it's modulation through space and media. Pieces are developed in different formats and variations as ongoing processes, which can result in performances, installations, or radio shows amongst others. The leitmotif for these processes is the development of a poetry of the fragile, and a skepticism towards demonstrations of power. Impermanence is understood as temporal fragility. For his collaborative practice Daniel coined the term ‘modular collaboration’, which describes a non-hierarchical and decentralized form of organization, where collaborators interact as equals. Context and site are important parameters and often used as a starting point.

Caroline Woolard is a Brooklyn based, post-media artist exploring civic engagement and communitarianism. Her work is collaborative and often takes the form of sculptures, websites, and workshops. Woolard is a co-founder of OurGoods.org and Trade School, two barter economies for cultural producers, and a coordinating member of SolidarityNYC, an organization that promotes grassroots economic justice.
