Cheryl Hsu is a speculative researcher and artist, braiding the living root bridges that reconnect people, planet and cosmos.  
 
Cheryl is also a transition designer and host of Imaginal Transitions, a sanctuary for sourcing the patterns and morphologies of new life-worlds through the paths of deep desire. She is experimenting with post-dual research methods and sensing technologies for attunement with transpersonal and more-than-human sources of wisdom and intelligence. 

Erin Gee (TIO’TIA:KE – MONTREAL) is an artist and composer who explores emotional labor, emotional measurement, emotional performance, and emotional reproduction through music, new media, and performance. She often enacts this work through her own DIY biofeedback technologies, considering emotion and music as forms of unconscious sensory programming akin to algorithms. Her music is characterized by enigmatic whispered vocals and lushly textured electroacoustic music, whereas her performances adapt the gestures and triggers from Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response to experimental sound.
