Author, digital artist, performer.
With her dual philosophical and artistic training, Sandrine Deumier constructed a multifaceted poetry focused on the issue of technological change and the performative place of poetry conceived through new technologies. Using material from the word as image and the image as a word vector, she also works at the junction of video and sound poetry considering them as sensitive devices to express a form of unconscious material itself. The process of writing and the mobile material of the image function as underlying meanings of reflux which refer to the real flickering and to their reality transfers via unconscious thought structures. Her work consists mainly of texts, digital poetry, multimedia installations and audiovisual performances in collaboration with composers.

ALKYONI BOUCHALAKI
As a performance artist, I am interested in inviting an instant inner awakening, creating hypnotic actions, based on a question. I pose the question whose search for an answer is carried out through my art.
As a visual artist, I work mainly with photography. I take photographs of myself while performing poetic acts pretending to search for a timeless aspect of the image.
My conceptual and aesthetic references are influenced by the archetypes and symbols of Greek and Cretan mythology. Also, I usually use different objects in an unconventional way. The conceptual part of my work is related to texts with philosophical, anthropological or psychoanalytical approaches, especially those by G. Bataille, J. Campell, A.Blay and C.Jung.

PAULA VICENTE PUIGGRÒS
I have always thought of my artistic practice as a means to rethink things through that which is material, tactile. I am interested in investigating, above all, established themes from my environment, of which we have already been given a pre-determined idea to be able to influence from another angle.
Many projects begin with a thought, a conversation that unfolds into an interest or concern that generates, in turn, an investigation. Finding the subversive aspect of thinking collectively, of doing things from everyday life with materials that are close to us, in order to generate a work that, more than closing, aims to open up the question, to leave room for doubt.
