DIEGO BEHNCKE



Diego Behncke is a Berlin-based artist whose work is realized through the frameworks of fictional systems, abstraction, and synthesis. Taking form through obfuscation operations involving installations, synthetic sound, film, and performances, his works appear as an abuse of conceptual and technical byproducts, a foregrounding of epistemic faults, and a strategic misdirection of ambiguity. He is especially interested in working through makeshift and diagonal approaches, skeptically examining standardized forms of aesthetic cognizance.

In live performances, he employs non-linear sound synthesis techniques by means of feedback and hybrid arrangements of machine listening, coupling analog electronic circuits with computational analysis arrangements in recursive manners; responding to the results, he acts as a regulator of the adaptive system and influences formal changes based on salient features of the process itself.

As part of his practice, he runs the experimental music label Prensa Manual.

He studied Composition and Aesthetics at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and is currently completing a Master’s degree at the Universität der Künste Berlin. His work has been presented in Germany, The Netherlands, Portugal, Chile, and is scheduled to appear in South Korea (August 2025). Recent activities include a residency at Spectral’s S.P.A.C.E. program for expanded cinema (Berlin), and a publication of his most recent electroacoustic works in the Japanese label Tokinogake. His work has been featured in publications including Neural, Tone Glow, and The Wire. 


ALLAN GARDNER



Allan Gardner (b.1992, Glasgow) is a Scottish artist based in London, UK, he studied at Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including projects exhibited with the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), SCIENCE Museum (London), Tate St. Ives (Cornwall), No Gallery (NYC), Hannah Barry Gallery (London), Annka Kultys Gallery (London), Cite Des Arts Internationale (Paris), The Art House (Wakefield) and many more. His writing has been published by Kaleidoscope, Dazed, Sleek, Mousse, CLOT, The Quietus and many more. In 2021, he founded SCREW Gallery in Leeds, with a curatorial focus on the intersection of art and subculture. 

Gardner’s work takes shape in a variety of mediums including text, sound, performance, video, collage, publishing and most dominantly, painting. His practice is concerned broadly with the transience of meaning and its function in contemporary popular culture. His work has been known to meld pop and youth culture with religious imagery, including pre-abrahamic spiritual practice in his native Scotland. 



JUNG HSU & SARA WU


Jung Hsu is an emerging media artist based in Berlin. Her artistic approach mainly combines her scientific/social investigation /research with poetic and political objects. 

Her work formats in installation, technical medium, and performance. She is the Golden Nica winner of Ars Electronica 2022, Art & Science winner of Falling Walls 2023, and nominated by Tagesspiegel for “Die 100 wichtigsten Köpfe der Berliner Wissenschaft”

Sara Wu (b. 1994 in Taiwan) works in Taipei and London.  

Her artistic practices encompass photography, sculpture, and installation. In her art,  she often suspends the surfaces of overlooked, mundane events which are inspired by  observations on and identifications of existing daily experiences, and the annotation of  its re-experience.  

Her works have received awards from Parallel Photo Platform and Taipei Art Awards,  and have been exhibited in the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Centre in  Budapest, the Royal Society of Sculptors in London, and the National Taiwan Museum  of Fine Arts. She has recently founded an artist-led experimental space ss space  space with artist Sean Tseng.  

Wu received an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art, London, the United Kingdom  and her BA in Journalism from National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan.  



SOLLEE KIM



Kim Sollee creates sculptures by moving her body, and plays music without physical movement. She explores the connections between tangible mediums such as sculpture, installation, and production, and intangible practices like websites, sound, and event planning. Her goal is to design flexible intersections between different media, continuously pushing boundaries between the material and immaterial.

With a multidisciplinary approach spanning sculpture, sound, video, and production, Kim Sollee believes in the notion that "meaning cannot transcend its creator." She questions this belief through active engagement, constantly seeking answers by immersing herself in various contexts.





NICK KLEIN



Nick Klein is an artist working in sound and art and sometimes (begrudgingly) sound art with a lean towards the social potential in those modalities as they interact. 

Klein has recorded a large amount of music for tape, CD, digital file, and vinyl editions for music labels around the world, as well as running his own amorphous label project PL (primitive languages, Psychic Liberation, etc). Concurrently, to the best of his ability, he has shown work in visual art contexts. Klein is uninterested in the prohibitive ideological tropes and circumstances that both contexts offer, and focuses the intent of his work on trying to see what productive energy comes from the friction between the two. Klein likes loud volume, cooking, offline community building, records, bars, synthesizers, and comedy.

Klein is currently located in Berlin. Klein has operated a monthly radio show on Montez Press Radio since its inception and is spending 2023-2024 developing a monthly invitational program at the Volksbühne Roter Salon. Klein has collaborated in various capacities and medial materializations with Wilted Woman, Audrey Chen, Das Ding, Hugo Esquinca, Jean-Louis Huhta, Erik Nystrand, Scant, Philip Maier, Makoto Oshiro and many more.

Klein has performed and shown works in contexts and festivals like The Amant Foundation (USA), SARA’S (USA), MOMA PS1 (USA), De La Cruz Collection (USA), Volksbühne (DE),  Empty Gallery (HK),  Berghain (DE), Tresor (DE), Seendosi (SK), Cafe Sismo (CDMX), Cafe Oto (UK), Folkteatern (SE), Burning Fleshtival (USA), Herrensauna (DE), and Summer Scum (USA).    


MAKOTO OSHIRO



Makoto Oshiro is a Tokyo-Berlin-based performer and artist. His primary medium is sound, but also combines other elements, including light, electricity, and the movement of objects. In live performances, he uses self-made tools and instruments that are based on electronic devices, everyday materials, and junk. 

His installation work handles sound as a physical and auditory phenomenon and focuses on characteristics such as vibration and interference. He is also a member of the live installation / performance group The Great △(夏の大△) with Takahiro Kawaguchi and Satoshi Yashiro and runs the label Basic Function.        



OOLONGRADIO



oolongradio is an art project based on web radio, run by Hyungjoong Kim and Sunkyu Lee. With backgrounds in film, philosophy, and media art (Kim), and visual communication design and fine arts (Lee), the two artists began collaborating through the process of building a web radio station, after years of exploring various artistic media in their own practices.

Started from a pure curiosity about radio, the project initially began by sharing music they each wanted to listen to. Since then, they have gone on to curate and broadcast a variety of radio programs, including experimental music, field recordings, live concerts, and interviews with artists.

In the participatory exhibitions and performance events listen listening (2023) and 8WAVES (2024), they exhibited various instruments and DIY objects that visitors could play themselves, while streaming the sounds generated in the space live via radio throughout the duration of the exhibitions. They also hosted a workshop where participants built their own FM radio transmitters.

For the project Radio Practice – Object (2025), they created and exhibited objects together with passersby on the streets of Berlin over the course of a month, streaming the sounds that emerged during these collaborative processes in real time.

More recently, they have been producing Dual Mono, a public radio broadcast program inviting artists who work with sound as a medium to talk about their lives and practices. They are also working in collaboration with Berlin-based experimental music concert series Psychic Liberation Night and Experimentik to live stream performances each month.

oolongradio sees radio not simply as a medium for transmitting sound, but as an open space where continuous acts of creation take place. Their work brings together distinct artistic practices in an ongoing attempt to connect, mix, and build something new.
