Yan Cheng is a British Hong Kongese Artist (b. 1981). He received an MA in Art & Science from Central Saint Martins.

Currently, he creates work at the intersection of art and science, with a particular interest in the relationship between humans and non-humans. Through researching the entomologies of the insect kingdom, he entangles social, natural and cultural environments; staging events for the performance of nature, using sound as a main artistic medium. His installations centre around performativity as space for transdisciplinary biologies, technologies, evolution and chance happenings. These enactments become a metaphor for collective communication and interspecies coexistence. He lives and works in London.

Laure Boer is a multi-instrumentalist based in Berlin. Her music is inspired by noise and traditional folk music. Her performances are hypnotic improvisations around traditional instruments, odd percussions and sometimes a voice, singing or reciting in her native French; a vibrant universe that is both vulnerable and brutal.

In Fall of 2019, she did a 2-month residency in Manila, Philippines, organized by CTM Festival, Goethe-Institut, Nusasonic and Musicboard Berlin. She performed at the WSK Festival in Manila. In January 2020 she was resident at Amplify Berlin, ACUD, with Rabih Beaini as mentor.
