Ivan Murit
Born in 1990 in Strasbourg.
My fascination with natural forms and my interest in life sciences led me to use algorithms that model natural phenomena or at least to draw inspiration from them these observations and this knowledge. I am therefore looking for a certain degree of naturalness in my creations. By putting in place systems that will form the images rather than making them directly, the latter acquire a form of autonomy. This generative moment can be described as morphogenesis, term used in biology to designate the autonomous establishment of the forms that the organisms during their development.
I focus on the physical execution of images by integrating the material question of printing. In this context, I am particularly interested in the different printing processes digital which allows me greater plastic control of the result.
In this same logic, and through my studies straddling art and design, I looked on the notion of image production tool. My work regularly questions the limits. A large part of my works take the form of tools, whether software, printing tools or diversions of existing tools. This practice of setting up process comes to question the ways in which we manipulate images in the era of computing and automation. The evocation of the living and the natural provides a counter-balance, allowing me a critical approach to technologies and sciences, without however, oppose them. I would like to clarify that what pushed me here is not only a mental attraction but also experiences lived in the wilderness. A particular state of immersed observer. A state that I easily found once surrounded by plants and insects. Perhaps this is why my achievements are often in the service of an immersive visual result and a certain experience sensory.

Kia Sciarrone
Born in 1989 in Iran.
Kia Sciarrone is a visual artist based in Vienna. He began his artistic journey focusing on self-portraiture as a means of exploring personal and queer identity. In his conceptual art, Sciarrone explores the nuanced facets of queer identity, drawing inspiration from his personal experiences and spontaneous impressions of his surroundings. Through evocative images and carefully constructed compositions, he invites the viewer to engage with the complexities of gender, sexuality, and cultural heritage. His art is not only a form of introspection but also a gentle call for diversity and inclusion.
Sciarrone received the 2022 Merit Scholarship from the University of Applied Arts Vienna and the 2021 State Scholarship for Photography from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Arts and Culture. His work has been exhibited internationally, including in Vienna, Brussels, Norwich, Amsterdam, Bratislava, Rotterdam, Milan, Denver, Montpellier, Berlin, and London.

Maxim Zmeyev
Born in 1987 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Maxim Zmeyev, born in 1987 in Saint Petersburg (USSR), is an artist and photographer. He began as a photojournalist in Russia and Eastern Europe for Reuters and AFP, covering major political events. A graduate of the Rodchenko School in Moscow in 2021, he initiated a more experimental practice. After the invasion of Ukraine, he left Russia in 2022 and settled in Marseille, where he pursues research focused on virtual images and photographic materiality and post-digital narratives.
His practice questions the links between video game environments and photographic processes. former. He uses video games as an aesthetic and critical medium, capturing in-game that he transposes into manual prints (kallitype, heliography, etc.). This passage from pixel to matter slows down the digital flow, reveals invisible details, and gives a new tangibility
to simulated universes. Through these gestures, he questions the logic of legitimization of the gaze, visual norms and forms of control in immersive worlds. Video game spaces become fields of study of contemporary subjectivities, oscillating between standardization and resistance.
His approach is part of a post-digital way of thinking, where photography becomes hybrid — between simulation and imprint. By materializing these fragments of virtual universes, it offers a sensitive reading of our digital imaginations: like a forgotten travel diary or the mapping of an invented world. His works are part of the collections of the Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow (MAMM) and private collections.

Dora Tishmann
Born in former Yugoslavia (Serbia).
Born in the former Yugoslavia (Serbia), I have lived in France since 2005. I graduated from the University of Fine Arts of Bucharest. In my creative work, I use several techniques – painting, photography and performance within the framework of multiple artistic collectives. These latter years, I have devoted myself mainly to photography. I found my inspiration in the myths of Creation and the origins of the universe. Transforming, metamorphosing, animating are things that I have experimented with in my various photographic series, to approach themes around the body, writing, matter, the invisible. My work has been exhibited at the
Circulation(s) Festival, at the Bratislava OFF Festival, at the Museum of the History of Medicine in Paris, at the Biennale d'Issy, at the Galerie Immix (Paris), at the Hôtel de Gallifet (Aix en Provence), at the Galerie Roger-Tator (Lyon) as part of the Superflux…

Since 2018, it has combined scuba divingmarine to his photographic practice in order to reflect on what is visible or not in the landscape underwater. His explorations take place in underwater areas of the Mediterranean coast unsightly: mouths of deltas or rivers, ponds, industrial zones and ports. His photographs question the collective imagination of the seabed and offer a reconfiguration across our local seas.

Alice Pallot (FR, 1995) lives and works between Paris and Brussels (FR/BE). His work questions the impact of human activities on the environment.
Imprinted with a science-fictional imagination, his photographs reveal issues made invisible. Alice Pallot conducts anticipation surveys on the territories she invests in alongside scientists and activists: she questions the near future by translating data scientific data that she collects during her investigations. Alice Pallot holds a Master's degree in photography at ENSAV La Cambre (BE) in 2018. She exhibits in institutions, festivals Europeans including the Rencontres d'Arles during the Night of the Year, the Climate Photo Biennale as well than the European House of Photography.
