Jakob Kudsk Steensen is an artist working with environmental storytelling through 3D animation, spatial sound and enveloping installations. He creates poetic interpretations about overlooked natural phenomena through collaborations with field biologists, composers, scientists, and writers, constructed through extensive fieldwork. Jakob has exhibited with Liminal Lands at Luma Arles, as well as with Berl-Berl at Halle am Berghain in Berlin, and at ARoS museum of Art in Aarhus, among other projects. 

Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley is an artist who works predominantly with animation, sound, performance, and video games to communicate the experiences of being a Black Trans person. Her practice focuses on intertwining lived experience with fiction to record Black Trans stories. Spurred on by a desire to record a “history of Trans people both living and past”, her work can often be seen as a Trans archive where Black Trans stories are stored for the future. Braithwaite-Shirley says: “throughout history, Black queer and Trans people have been erased from our archives. Because of this it is necessary not only to archive our existence, but also the many creative narratives we have used and continue to use to share our experiences.”

Jake Elwes is a media artist living and working in London. They studied at The Slade School of Fine Art, UCL (2013-17). Searching for poetry and narrative in the success and failures of AI systems, Jake Elwes investigates the aesthetics and ethics inherent to AI. Elwes’ practice makes use of the sophistication of machine learning, while finding illuminating qualities in its limitations. Across projects that encompass moving-image installation, sound and performance, Elwes seeks to queer datasets, demystifying and subverting predominantly cisgender and straight AI systems. While it may seem like the AI is a creative collaborator, Elwes is careful to point out that the AI has neither intentionality or agency; it is a neutral agent existing within a human framework.
