Lithuanian artist Agnė Matulevičiūtė is a sound artist and composer, with a particular focus on conceptual and performative music, theatre, and cinema. Since 2014, she has been actively participating in group exhibitions, art and contemporary music festivals, as well as artist residencies in Lithuania and abroad. Her music written for cinema has been recognized with a national award, and she has also composed music for more than 30 productions in the biggest theatres of her home country. Under her pseudonym Agnès M., she has released 5 albums which explore the genres of synthwave and experimental electronic music. In her compositions, she often uses the sounds of modular and analogue synthesizers from her 1980s collection.

MONOCOLOR alias Marian Essl is a Vienna based audiovisual artist. He explores the interrelations between sound and image in both performance-based and installation-based works. His fully generative, algorithmically created imagery oscillates between fluid, organic textures and rigid structures. He focuses on the relation between sound, image, light and space, aiming to create highly immersive audiovisual universes. His work has been shown in various contexts around the world. In 2020, he was awarded the Japan Media Arts Festival New Face Award for his audiovisual fulldome performance Latent Space that was created during a residency at the Société des arts technologiques (SAT) in Montréal. In 2024, he opened his large-scale solo exhibition SCREEN—SPACE in Krems, Austria.
