Blane De St Croix
My work utilizes sculptural object, installation and drawing. Employing a combination of natural and industrial materials. I am interested in articulating humankind’s desire to take command over the earth --alluding to conflicts with ecology, politics, ourselves and the level of human absence and/or presence in industry. I often borrow from man-made elements and architectural environments and adjoin them with natural habitats, asking us to reflect on our precarious relationship with our surroundings.

Michel de Broin
Born in 1970 in Montreal, Michel de Broin lives and works in Montreal and in Berlin. Through a collection of objects and actions, his works seek to escape the constraining nature of modern utopian aspirations whilst attempting to reenact them in playful, jesting objects that glorify the referent on the one hand while upstaging it on the other.

Jacob Ter Veldhuis
Jacob TV is preoccupied with American media and world events and draws raw material from those sources. His work possesses an explosive strength and raw energy combined with extraordinarily intricate architectural design. In his so called boombox works, he makes superb use of electronics, incorporating sound bytes from political speeches, commercials, interviews, talk shows, TVangelists, and what have you - 'urban songs' with a colorful mix of high and low culture.
Prisoners' Inventions - Temporary Services
This project was a collaboration with Angelo, an incarcerated artist. He illustrated many incredible inventions made by prisoners to fill needs that the restrictive environment of the prison tries to supress. The inventions cover everything from homemade sex dolls, condoms, salt and peper shakers to chess sets. We collaborated on this project with Angelo for over two years. We had many additional collaborators who made a book, exhibition of re-created inventions and a prison cell possible.

Sophie Krier
Sophie Krier was born in 1976 in Halle, Belgium and has the Luxemburgish nationality . She lives and works in Rotterdam since her graduation from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1999. Her work field is situated in the periphery of the design profession and includes activities such as teaching, writing, collecting, editing, experimenting. Her work is process-oriented and always attempts to investigate the space (for innovation, playfulness, reflection) within a given assignment. The work is therefore often described as editorial. At the core of each concept is the wish to generate meaningful relationships between message, context, and receivers.
Raqs media collective
Raqs Media Collective has been variously described as artists, media practitioners, curators, researchers, editors and catalysts of cultural processes. Their work, which has been exhibited widely in major international spaces and events, locates them squarely along the intersections of contemporary art, historical enquiry, philosophical speculation, research and theory - often taking the form of installations, online and offline media objects, performances and encounters. They live and work in Delhi, based at Sarai, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, an initiative they co-founded in 2000. They are members of the editorial collective of the Sarai Reader series.

My work is an investigation of identity. For two years I have maintained that: There is no identity, there is only history. Meanings are not fixed, but are arrived at in relation to, or as a product of context.
iwishicoulddescribeittoyoubetter
iwishicoulddescribeittoyoubetter is an archive of possibilities. Less a collective, design studio or fixed group, but the place of perchance running into one another, where encounters are created and some relationships last, others to which we wave warmly in retrospect. The projects, blog entries and works presented at left have become what may be an idealistic cloud of tags and labels that have in previous manifestations been difficult to categorise, name and place. The ambivalence as such is noted and taken, yet please take that as possibility -yes, possibility- to wander, link through, come back and find threads between the works, ideas and people... as we have.
Trevor Paglen
Trevor Paglen is an artist, writer, and experimental geographer working out of the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley. His work involves deliberately blurring the lines between social science, contemporary art, and a host of even more obscure disciplines to construct unfamiliar, yet meticulously researched ways to interpret the world around us.
Julia Meltzer and David Thorne
Los Angeles-based artists Julia Meltzer and David Thorne produce videos, photographs, installations, and published texts. From 1999 to 2003, their projects centered on state secrecy and the production of the past. Current works focus on the ways in which visions of the future are imagined, claimed and realized, specifically in relation to faith and global politics.
