Shape Language is a live performer, animator, and sound artist. He is inspired by erosion, the choreography of weather systems, and the frozen undulations of limestone. He is interested in nonverbal communication as a means to change the texture of time.
Sayoko Osada is an experiential artist who emphasizes genre-fluid approaches to worldbuilding to challenge and expand perception. Often collaborating with musical artists, her multimedia work combines architecture, video, and light to orchestrate the audience’s emotions through multisensory sequences of encounters to convey the essence and the ineffable.
Jalpari is a NC-born Indian-American producer, DJ, and organizer based in Brooklyn, NY. Their improvisational approach to DJing is aligned with their composition process: sculpting experimental atmosphere’s that unionize your mind and body with the source. By embracing a vision of queer underground culture through a DIY mindset, Jalpari enjoys co-hosting experimental performances and parties in NC and NYC.
San Huan is a Brooklyn-based producer and live performer who shapes dub, IDM, and acid into intimate yet uncanny compositions. Their process is rooted in physical gesture: piezo mics are dragged across stone and jolted into water, their signals amplified and woven through voice-like FOF synthesis and spectral processing. These fragments are continuously reworked, forming an evolving mythological language.
