With Richard Garet, Yucef Merhi and Adriana Herrera Tellez.
Richard Garet
works with sound and visual arts. His materials emerge from ontological investigations of background noise and the decadence and decay of technological utilities. He finds inspiration in observing isolated situations of everyday life and from interactions with found materials that explore further possibilities of automation, discarded utility, function and defunctionalization, commodity and environment.
Yucef Merhi is an artist, poet, and programmer, and pioneer of Digital Art. He studied Philosophy at the Universidad Central de Venezuela; the New School University in New York, and obtained a master's degree in the Interactive Telecommunications Program from New York University, NYC.
His artistic career began in the mid-1980s and includes solo and group exhibitions in museums in Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, Cuba, Mexico, United States, Canada, Spain, Italy, Holland, United Kingdom, Slovenia, Turkey, Croatia and Norway, among other countries.
