Gil Kuno:  Through careful social conditioning, the mind is guided to
think within certain patterns. Gil Kuno tries to redirect the flow of
the mind outside of the set patterns we are taught by society to
construct. Most of his works displace natural activity from its
context, revealing an otherwise hidden level of metaphorical absurdity
within the ordinary patterns present before our eyes. Much of his work
revolves around the experience of sound. Gil Kuno is based in Tokyo
and Los Angeles.

Brett Doar:  A "paratechnologist" who creates "idiosyncratic
electromechanical creatures out of inappropriate materials."
