The "Reporting from the Ghost Cities of the Metaverse" series explores empty and ineffective metaverse platforms using video, social media relational aesthetics, and live streaming performance/discussions. These artistic forms serve to critique techno-feudalist fantasies by examining the siloing of creative possibility in real time using glitch processing and dialectical argumentation in text and sound.

Created in fall of 2021, Sub Net is an anonymous new media art project that explores the mirror stage of online identity formation and challenges the promises, politics and power dynamics of technology & capitalism. They are a dream who thought it was a person. Their body of work intersects and tangles topics ranging from the amplification of the absurd within the metaverse; performative nostalgia baiting; and social media engagement as a site for relational aesthetics.

An accident setting serves as the scope for a cinematic metaphorical dialogue: two figurine subjects, that ultimately crash into each other in a slow motion car crash scene, act as the framework to the formal structure of the film. Mutual subjection and impression are allegorically exemplified - the momentum of the impact of the collision subserves as a generator to astonishing artificial bodily postures, that could be translated into something like an archive of embodiments. In transitory cut scenes between the decelerated sequence of this mishap, "biographical" flashbacks are inserted.

Yves Netzhammer, born in 1970. Since 1997, he has been working on a widely ramified, poetic imagery cosmos. His video installations, objects and drawings fascinate through their bodily charisma and their formal clarity. The playful recombination of elements which seemingly can not be combined leads to the threshold of our existence?s dark side: Dulcet aspects interlock with displeasing ones, the dead melts with the alive into creatures never seen before, and the depicted scenarios run from microscopic to giant scales. Solo exhibitions include Minsheng Art Museum Shanghai (2011), Kunstmuseum Bern (2010), Palazzo Strozzi (2009), SFMOMA, San Francisco (2008), Venice Biennale (2007), Karlskirche Kassel (supporting program documenta 12, 2007), Kunsthalle Bremen (2005). Yves Netzhammer lives and works in Zurich.

Yves Netzhammer a réalisé, pour le pavillon suisse de la Biennale de Venise, une installation dans une pièce où interagissent l'architecture, des dessins, des projections vidéos et de la musique. L'artiste a étendu la partie sud-est du pavillon, érigé en 1951 par Bruno Giacometti, avec une intervention architecturale/sculpturale qui perturbe la perception entre intérieur et extérieur. C'est une réflexion architecturale et politique. Le fait d'insérer dans le pavillon une ligne inclinée qui pénètre le pavillon en même temps qu'il l'ouvre met en perspective les frontières nationales et internationales et ce qu'elles rendent impossible. Dans son travail pictural et ses films pour Venise, Netzhammer confronte le stéréotype de l'"Autre" à sa lecture de l'histoire. L'"Autre" apparaît sous la forme d'un sujet psychologique refoulé, des corps qui ne sont que des ombres, des entrailles invisibles, des couleurs de peau différentes; autant de signes de l'altérité culturelle. Le fait d'associer ces motifs créée un rapport nouveau entre soi et autrui, entre les cas individuels et les problèmes universels, et permet une discussion sur les façons de se positionner dans l'espace et la relation aux autres. Netzhammer réfléchit aux manières de rendre le "soi" réceptif à l'"autre".

Yves Netzhammer est né en Suisse en 1970. Il vit et travaille à Zürich. Son travail a été présenté entre autres à La Neue Gesellschaft Für Bildende Kunst (NGBK) à Berlin, au Centre culturel Suisse à Paris, au ZKM de Karlsruhe, au Musée d?art du Texas à Austin, Texas, au centre international de sculpture de Duisburg, à VIPER à Bâle, à la Kunsthalle de Bâle, au Witte de With à Rotterdam, à la 11ème Biennale de l'Image en Mouvement à Genève, au Centre d'Art Contemporain de Fribourg, à la biennale d?art contemporain de Prague, à la Kunsthalle de Brême, à la Galleria d´Arte Moderna de Bologne. Son travail fait partie des collections du FRAC - Nord-Pas de Calais, Dunkerque et du FRAC - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Marseille Il est actuellement présenté à la 52ème Biennale de Venise

« Furniture of Proportion » d?Yves Netzhammer révèle la fascination de l?artiste pour les paysages intérieurs et de l'esprit. Netzhammer présente un univers poétique de pure invention. Projeté pour la première fois au San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (USA), sa nouvelle installation vidéo à trois canaux « Furniture of Proportion » (2008) mêle des dessins de mur très stylisés, des animations et des objets sculpturaux afin de créer un espace narratif complexe. Sur invitation de Rudolf Frieling, le conservateur des arts médiatiques du San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Netzhammer a consciemment développé une ?uvre dans laquelle l'ordinateur, en tant qu?outil artistique et moyen d'expression, a la priorité. Netzhammer combine une variété de médias traditionnels à différentes techniques informatiques afin d?exprimer son profond intérêt pour l'histoire de la philosophie et del'art. L'artiste se penche également sur les processus de la pensée humaine et sur l'interaction entre les images extérieures du monde et les images intérieures de l'esprit. Entrepris comme une enquête sans fin, son art s?intéresse à l'éphémère et aux états de changement, et traite, avec des effets surréalistes, les associations d?idées, et de la multiplicité temporelle.

A consequential animation film which casts the medium of film back on its origin, the image. Beginning with divers on a platform in the sea, the viewer is simultaneously immersed in pictorial spaces in pictorial worlds, whose associative inner logic collides with the customs of conventional narration.

Yves Netzhammer, born in 1970, studied Visual Design at the Zurich College of Art and Design. Since 1997, he has been working on a widely ramified, poetic imagery cosmos. His video installations, objects, slide shows and drawings fascinate through their bodily charisma and their formal clarity. The playful recombination of elements which seemingly can not be combined leads to the threshold of our existence?s dark side: Dulcet aspects interlock with displeasing ones, the dead melts with the alive into creatures never seen before, and the depicted scenarios run from microscopic to giant scales.

First Fugue is an experiment to find a way of putting documentary images together as if in a fugue like state. A fugue is a dissociative disorder like amnesia, although it also compels the subject to drift both in space and in identity. A fugue is caused by extremely traumatic events.

Soot Breath / Corpus Infinitum is a film dedicated to tenderness. It reproduces a radical sensibility learned from listening to the blues, from listening to skin, to heat, and from listening to echoes, listening itself. Soot Breath // Corpus Infinitum is a newly commissioned film and installation by Arjuna Neuman and Denise Ferreira da Silva. Against and instead of apprehension, it fosters an image of existence in which attention twins the gentleness of touch as recalled by haptic and sonic expressions.

As a writer he has published essays in Relief Press, Into the Pines Press, The Journal for New Writing, VIA Magazine, Concord, Art Voices, Flaunt, LEAP, Hearings Journal, and e- flux. He studied at California Institute of the Arts. He works with the essay form with a multi-perspectival and mobile approach where ‘essay’ is an inherently future-oriented and experimental mode, becoming the guiding principle for research and production, which shifts between the bodily, haptic, and affective through to the geopolitical, planetary and cosmological. Denise Ferreira da Silva is a practicing artist and an academic - Director and Professor at the Social Justice Institute-GRSJ at the University of British Columbia. She is the author of Toward a Global Idea of Race (2007), A Dívida Impagavel (2019), and co-editor of Race, Empire, and the Crisis of the Subprime (2013).

Her work addresses the ethico- political challenges of the global present. She is a member of several boards including Haus de Kulturen de Welt (Berlin), International Consortium for Critical Theory Programs and the journals Postmodern Culture, Social Identities, and Dark Matter.

Syncopated Green calls on the history of outdoor free parties to re-describe the English Countryside. The film listens to rave music, past and present, to help forget the official portrayal of England as picturesque, nostalgic, white, and rural. These traditional images of a “proper” England not only prop up the walls of national museums still today, but they also feed a growing conservativism that sustains Imperial fantasies, slavery legacies and Brexit realities. Music, especially music inspired by nature and designed to be played in the outdoors, has a unique way of expressing the landscape. Syncopated Green aims to include rave music into the English landscape genre and tradition – turning imperial history inside out. Rave music and its wider culture, importantly, celebrates black and brown artists and audiences, and has done so since its inception. Somewhere between a music video, a memoir, and an essay, the film asks, how might the current socio-political situation and looming future be different if we had other histories to lean on and dance with?

A speculative and poetic exploration of the entanglements and overlaps of historical events in the Atacama Desert (Chile), the film, told from the perspective of the wind, takes us on a visual journey, floating freely through the many sites and histories of the Atacama. Exploring some of the largest lithium mines in the world; hovering above the remnants of colonial labour camps reactivated under the Pinochet regime, and slipping inside the international observatory of the ALMA large array facility; Ferreira da Silva and Neuman’s camera uncovers material trajectories whose planetary scope and historical depths remain invisible to the many. By pointing at how these trajectories mutated and expanded into aspects of modern geopolitical issues, Ancestral Clouds Ancestral Claims, exposes pillars of western thought that sustain colonial legacies of inequality, racial exclusion and human extractivism while simultaneously proposing another worldview, one that is carried and echoed by the wind.

Port 1 is the first chapter of Caesium Forest, an ongoing project that explores five different yet inter-connected relationships (ports) to technology. Each relation could be interpreted as a type of reverence?spiritual or scientific. The project starts with the atomic bomb in Wendover and traces out a space shuttle?s retirement, Christian techno-music as worship, TED Talks, and returns to the government nuclear facilities of Oakridge, TN. The goal is to bring these different yet inter-connected narratives together, to create a filmic ecosystem. In particular the project will draw its formal structure from the way radioactive tracers were used to identify the relationships across biota within a given ecosystem. In fact it was only through the radioactive contamination of the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge that provided the means for ecology to develop as we know it today. Port 1: Lost in the Caesium Forest begins this story in Wendover ? the former largest US airforce base and home to the Nagasaki and Hiroshima atomic missions. Port 1 assembles a dream like sequence in the ruined Utah/Nevada landscape, where World War 2 history becomes casino, becomes Hard Times Pawn Shop, becomes fireworks, becomes SWAT team forced entry, becomes a Christian rave ? all the while preparing us for the future.

Material em Bruto (Raw Material) was filmed over a year in the Interior Douro region. Through testimonies from local communities, Material em Bruto reflects on different, at times conflicting, notions of value in relation to the landscape and how practices of cultivation, preservation and extraction benefit and impact the people who live there. Material em Bruto (Raw Material) pays particular attention to past, present and possible future, mining activity in the region, using the mine as a metaphor to explore ideas of what is contained but not immediately visible within the landscape. Lithium represents a new ‘promise’ of wealth, the white gold that threatens to divide communities and impact the local environment. Material em Bruto (Raw Material) ties to read that which is codified or concealed by carefully listening to testimonies from the local community and by paying close attention to the marks, maps and traces that are etched into the land. The film follows an investigative process of translation, one that is informed by the knowledge (both inherited and specialised) of local community and specifically people who work with geography, topography, archeology, agriculture and geology. This situated knowledge is transformed as local memories and stories coalesce into poetic, filmic form.

HAVEN is a critical and poetic reworking of the bizarre story of Sealand, a tiny, unrecognized micronation on an abandoned World War II gun tower in the North Sea. The tower has been occupied since the 1960s by a British family, who claim the artificial territory as their own, independent from state power. Originally intending to use the tower to broadcast pirate radio, the family worked with two cyber-libertarians in the early 2000s to establish the world's first data haven—what they described as "pirate internet." The data haven promised to be a refuge for unregulated data - the only truly safe place in the world to keep information. HAVEN's experimental narrative approach speculates on the rift that occurred between the family and the data haven's founders. It also touches on other failed utopias and neoliberal ventures, such as the libertarian Seasteading project, which aims to build floating communities that they describe as 'start-up countries', and Microsoft's Project Natick, the world's first undersea data center. HAVEN incorporates these references to question the possibility the sea provides for extraterritorial places — spaces beyond the territory of the state — while also critically analyzing the often capitalist and colonialist ideologies behind such ventures.

Born 1981, Hobart. Lives and works Hobart and Lisbon, Portugal. James Newitt has created a body of work that consistently engages with specific social and cultural contexts through personal, observational and performative approaches.

What happens when two enterprising young artists abandon the sheltered sphere of art school decadence for life in the real word? A frank portrait of excess, indulgence, and dysfunction, "A Hand on the Doorknob of Greatness" follows its protagonists down a path toward inner enlightenment... and never emerges. As it turns out, the "real world" for this precocious pair of partners in their prime is one in which the most ordinary of gestures ? dressing, sitting, speaking, being ? adopt the most profoundly meaningless overtones. A veritable smorgasbord of meaninglessness ensues: Are they trapped, much like their captive audience, in a prison of their own making? Is there any escape? Who holds the keys? And does it matter? A thoroughly underachieving anti-video art art piece for the contemporary age, "A Hand on the Doorknob of Greatness" asks this and more, finally begging the question: What did I just watch?

She graduated from a combined degree program with Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, with a BA in Psychology and a BFA in Film & Video. Having recently completed a series of Rorschach paintings, Gigi is now squarely focused on a film about the Hindenburg and ongoing projects with her 'partners in prime' partner. Gigi works for The Mill, a world-leading visual effects company, with aspirations of becoming a special effects artist. David Thacker is a Boston-based artist and music critic for Boston?s Weekly Dig magazine. Having graduated from Tufts University and SMFA, Boston, with a BA in Women?s Studies and a BFA in Sculpture & Media Arts, he has since metamorphosed into an IT professional for the Massachusetts state government.

Et si chaque journée était juste une répétition pour la suivante? Seriez-vous satisfait de l'état des choses? Vous remettez en cause un système, mais fonctionne-t-il pour vous? Les routines et leur valeur. Nous combattons cela chaque jour.

Over fifty years ago in the United States, thirteen female pilots were tested to see if they were capable of going into space as astronauts. The program was cancelled prematurely, but this medical experiment became a call for two of them, Jerrie Cobb and Janey Hart, to petition for a Congressional Hearing in an attempt to change the requirements so that women could become astronauts alongside their male counterparts. Huong Ngo and Or Zubalsky took this act of resistance as a departure point for their album and film, "Shadows Making Shadows." These videos, which combine appropriated period footage with newly shot 8mm film, serve as a love letter to these thirteen women and a contemporary reflection on systems that exclude specific bodies from representing our future.

Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi's film Into the Violet Belly is a striking work blending family lore, mythology, science fiction, and digital abstraction. The film captures the experimental collaboration between the artist and her mother, Thuyen Hoa, who survived a perilous sea journey while fleeing Vietnam after the end of the American War. The film oscillates seamlessly between multiple voices, visual registers, and timescales,—was it seven months or seven thousand years?—creating an image of multitudes: migrating bodies swimming in an infinite blue, depicted as both a massive digital swarm and tiny avatars.

Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi is a Milky Way-based artist whose practice mutates in and out of film, sculpture, installation, performance, and interdisciplinary research. Her work explores the epistemological, aesthetic, and political possibilities of the moving image at the intersections of art and science, documentary and fiction, personal/prosthetic memory and individual/collective histories. Having studied Fine Arts at the Städelschule and Film at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she is currently pursuing PhD research in Film at the University of Westminster. Thuy-Han’s work has been presented in both the art and cinema context, including Akademie der Künste, Berlin; Atletika, Vilnius; Belvedere 21, Vienna; Centro di Musica Contemporanea di Milano, Milan; De Appel, Amsterdam; Gene Siskel Film Center, Chicago; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; Kunsthall Trondheim, Trondheim; Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, Manila; Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham; Sàn Art, Saigon; Villa Medici, Rome; Whitechapel Gallery, London; the 12th Berlin Biennale, Berlin; the 12th BlackStar Film Festival, Philadelphia; the 20th Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, Copenhagen; the 19th 25FPS International Experimental Film and Video Festival, Zagreb; the 60th New York Film Festival, New York; Rencontres Internationales, Paris; the 20th Reykjavík International Film Festival, Reykjavík; the 33rd Singapore International Film Festival, Singapore; among other spaces.

Nhà Sàn Collective presents a new moving image work filmed at the residence of Mr. Manh Duc, a home in close proximity to the collective and their community of artist friends for many years. In this playground, a mystical world emerges; a cinema is reenacted. As the film unfolds, a river, a garden, spirits, wooden structures, people and objects appear, dissolve and reappear, as if they were characters morphing into one another. The film draws attention to cinematic transformation of physical and immaterial beings as a process of experiencing diverse forms of archives.

Nhà Sàn Collective (NSC) began operating as an independent artist collective in Hanoi in 2013, when a group of friends set up their publicly accessible space. With or without a physical base, NSC has worked with fellow companions and collaborators to organise exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, talks and other activities as a supporting platform for artists in the community. An initiative for exchanges, expansions and connections. A place that’s also open toward works-in- progress and the unexpected, a just-do-it attitude which doesn’t always yield answers. Some of the Collective's main projects, which have been held on numerous occasions, are Skylines With Flying People, IN:ACT Performance Art Festival, Queer Forever!, Emerging Artists programme, amongst others. The collective board consists of Tr??ng Qu? Chi, Nguy?n Ph??ng Linh, Nguy?n Qu?c Thành, V? ??c Toàn, and Tu?n Mami. In 2022, they participated in Documenta 15 curated by Ruangrupa with their invited artist friends. The name ‘Nhà Sàn’ signifies the Collective’s foundation which is rooted in the spirit of Nhà Sàn Studio, an artist-run space founded in 1998 in Hanoi. The original Nhà Sàn, a house on stilts, was taken apart in 2020. In the Ng?c Th?y area by the bank of the Red River, the artists imagine this house to become the new Nhà Sàn Collective space, rebuilt, and transformed.
