00 Zhang is a Chinese-born London-based emerging artist who is gaining a reputation with her innovative explorations of a sensibility she terms ‘a double-sided exile’ – entwined feelings of dislocation and connection. Thematically, her practice investigates the potential of a new form of collective imagination to transcend the borders of national identity, gender, and religion. Her multifaceted practice, which includes numerous collaborators, spans sculpture, installation, CGI animation, and interactive digital game environments.

Zhang blends embodiment with complex cybernetic concepts, depicting the integration of agents and their environments through elaborate narratives. Exploring the integration of the real world and the virtual, she constructs imaginary worlds that occupy real space – immersive environments that engage viewers and transport them between corporeality and the virtual realm.

Zhang graduated in 2020 from Central Saint Martins, London, and has exhibited at SPLIT, London (2024); Zabludowicz Collection, London (2023); GIANT, Bournemouth (2023); Broadway Gallery, Nottingham (2022); 789 Nanjing West Road, Shanghai (2022); Thetis S.p.A. Castello, Venice (2022), and Shanghai Coutts Art Center, Shanghai (2021). She currently has a newly commissioned work in the exhibition X Virtual Gathering: Honey at the X Museum, Beijing (2024).

Shan Wong (Flyingpig) is an artist-researcher exploring human-urban dynamics within capitalist transformations across physical and digital spaces. Her latest initiative, Foreseen Property Agency, employs speculative fieldwork and co-creation to examine the property presale market. As director of SATA (Society Art Technology Asia), an artist-led platform, she investigates the intersection of art, technology, and society in Asia. Additionally, as part of the artist duo Foreseen Agency with Kachi Chan, she explores art-technology narratives. Their project Hello World Home, developed during a 2024 residency at the National Asia Culture Centre in Gwangju, examines digital capitalism in Korea and continues to explore the project during their artist residency at Diriyah Art Futures in Saudi Arabia. She is currently an assistant professor at Hong Kong Baptist University’s Academy of Visual Arts.

Line of Piers is an artist collective founded in 2023 by the media artist Sanghee and narrative designer Seonghun. They have collaborated on the interactive VR works Oneroom-Babel, Worlding···, and the conversational game Bugs of Nostalgia. All three works explored spaces that are inscribed with shared emotions and stories.

Line of Piers was formed to expand their research on the physical sensation of space and the spatialisation of the body. They also seek to actively reference subcultures that accelerate the imagination of interactivity. In addition to exhibiting interactive works, they keep questioning which parts of our bodies and senses are stimulated as exhibitions are created.

Jo Ho is a media artist working with digital installations and generative systems to examine how technologies shape and often distort our understanding of the body, memory, and meaning. Her practice centers on the concept of digital corporeality, treating the digital not as immaterial but as deeply embedded in systems of flesh, code, and material. Through speculative image-making, she works with fragmentation, reassembly, and visual ambiguity to reflect on how meaning is abstracted and reshaped in increasingly automated environments.

Jo Ho teaches creative coding at the University of the Arts Singapore and Nanyang Technological University, and has a background in Architecture and a Master’s degree in New Media Design.

Priyageetha Dia is a Singaporean artist working with time-based media and installation. Her practice braids Southeast Asian labour histories, speculations of the tropics, and ancestral memory meeting machine logics. Through archival and field research, she explores nonlinear forms and practices of refusal against dominant narratives. She is currently pursuing a Master’s at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, Netherlands. Her recent projects have been exhibited at the 4th Bangkok Art Biennale (2024); Manifesta 15, Barcelona (2024); 60th La Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2024) and Diriyah Biennale, Saudi Arabia (2024).
