Di Lu is a visual designer working between Los Angeles and Beijing. Her practice sits at the intersection of design, culture, and storytelling, spanning typography, books, installations, and digital experiences.

Her practice often reflects on the ways power structures shape perception, memory, and the unconscious, using both handcrafted and algorithm-inspired approaches to explore the blurred boundary between self and system.
The Mirror and the Map: Joe Karlovec on Buildings, Belonging, and the Metaphysics of Place

Over the past decade, he has built a nomadic studio practice while moving through Ohio, Florida, South Carolina, and now North Carolina, letting each place shape the way he observes, archives, and interprets the built environment. He currently works as the Facilities Coordinator for a museum, where he oversees the preservation of three historic buildings, a role that deepens his relationship with the structures that occupy his artistic imagination.

Joseph Farbrook is an American artist working across electronic installations, interactive video, augmented and virtual reality, video sculpture, live performance, and experimental projection. Known for inventing customized media platforms that merge physical and virtual art-making practices, he explores how cultural mythologies evolve and how mediated perception shapes the way we understand the world.

“Drawing My Way Out”: Christopher Reusch on Demons, Depression, and the Art That Saved Him
Christopher Reusch studied environmental protection before completing a Master’s degree in South Africa, where he learned the value of Observation. Afterward, unsure of his path, he began hiking barefoot in 2012 and eventually drew himself out of a depression a decade later, in 2022. Those early drawings felt almost demonic — frightening, intense, and strangely instructive. His first book, The Book of Fear, made that connection unmistakable, as if the work itself was guiding him to understand fear on a deeper level.
Neither Here nor There: Chaeyeon Kang on Digital-Physical Hybridity and the Fluidity of Being
Chaeyeon Kang explores the fragile intersection of body, memory, and digital-physical hybridity. Working across printmaking and experimental media, she investigates cycles of vulnerability and resilience through her own female bodily experiences and virtual female bodies. Through collage and layering, she pursues sensations that can’t be captured through traditional methods alone, gravitating toward materials and images that exist in liminal spaces — never fully one thing or the other.
A Fossil Record of Early Human Thought: Joe Banks on Where Language Becomes Technology
Joe Banks is an installation artist, researcher, and electronic musician behind the long-running project Disinformation. His work centers on electricity, communication, and language — often taking the form of electromagnetic sound pieces and audio-visual illusions. His latest piece, Language [as] Meta-Technology, pushes this inquiry further by challenging narrow definitions of what “counts” as language. Rather than limiting language to human syntax or computer code, the work proposes that language is everything we use to communicate — across species, histories, and technologies.
