Vito Lucarelli

Vito Lucarelli is an electronics, sound and music enthusiast. Most of their electronics work to date has been largely around analogue synthesis. Generally, with the intention of creating analogue circuits that either produce or manipulate sound, but has recently begun applying this knowledge to video synthesis.

Vito is self-taught in this discipline and is firmly of the belief that the secrets of the world are hidden inside YouTube videos and online forums.

Vito also produces music under the name V.N. Lucarelli. This music is in the realm of ambient/experimental/melodic-noise and it utilises analogue and digital modular synthesisers to create emotive and dynamic soundscapes.

Mary Barton

I'm a painter and drawer, I use oil and gouache. I love the feeling colour brings to a space and the emotion it makes us feel. My work is an intuitive response to my surroundings. I play with composition, texture, surface and shape. I'm interested in abstraction and am continually trying to solve technical and compositional problems within the picture.

Eremaya_Albrecht.jpg

Eremaya Albrecht

Eremaya Albrecht is a photographer and artist who responds to people, places and the spaces between. Using the substructure of conceptual art, alongside a personal and political viewpoint, she seeks to express the world around her. Constantly in a state of experimentation, her practice embraces the ambiguity of passing moments caught in a still frame. Moments captured as a form of poetry. She approaches photography with intuition and emotion, utilising analogue photographic techniques and the moving image.
