Daniel Miller uses robotics, electronics, sound, video and light to investigate systems and ecologies in the contemporary land-scape. Currently he is an Associate Professor and Area Head of Sculpture & Intermedia in the School of Art and Art History, University of Iowa. In addition to many exhibitions in the USA, Miller’s artwork has been shown in Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, Korea, and Columbia. He has received numerous commissions, grants and awards to support his research.

John McCormick is a technology based artist with a major interest in movement. John has collaborated on works worldwide, including at International Symposium of Electronic Art (ISEA), ZERO1SJ, SIGGRAPH, Melbourne Festival, Venice Biennale, Siggraph Asia, Ars Electronica Futurelab, Tokyo International Forum and Art Science Museum Singapore. John’s current artistic work explores human robot interaction mediated by extended reality environments. John was an Australian Antarctic Arts Fellow in 2020 supported by the Australian Antarctic Division and Australian Network for Art and Technology. John was lucky enough to travel on the last Australian Antarctic voyage of the research vessel Aurora Australis to the Antarctic continent. John is currently acting director of the Centre for Transformative Media Technologies at Swinburne University of Technology where he investigates artis-tic practice in extended reality environments, robotics, artificial intelligence and human action. Recent Exhibitions include: Aurora Australis Ultimo Choro VR, Siggraph Asia Art Gallery, Tokyo In-ternational Forum (2021); Antarctica Breaking, Polar Patterns, Capitol Theatre Melbourne (2021); Eve of Dust, Powerhouse Museum Brisbane Australia, Tokyo International Forum Japan (2019); Neuron Conductor, RMIT Gallery Melbourne (2019); Child In The Wild, Art Science Museum Singapore (2017).

Dr. Stine Johansen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Australian Cobotics Centre, Queensland University of Technology. Her research focuses on designing interactions with complex technical, cyber-physical systems such as robots and sound zone systems. This includes designing for human-robot collaboration and supporting interaction with spatial sound through visualisations. Her research relies on principles from participatory design and physical prototyping methods. Stine has a PhD in Computer Science, focusing on Human-Computer Interaction. She has published in top venues in this field, including the CHI and DIS conferences and the Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction journal. Throughout her research career, Stine has maintained close collaborations with industry, including electronics and audio companies Bang & Olufsen and Soundfocus in Denmark. Personally, Stine has a strong interest in arts and music, painting digitally and playing music, and she actively uses these hobbies to support her research.

Marilia Bergamo has been a computer artist and lecturer of Design and Digital Art for the last fifteen years. She graduated in Design and Computer Science and worked with interface design during the beginning of her career. Her work as an educator also began in Interface Design and traditional printed graphics. As an artist, she sought to produce and research art related to interaction, digital images and the concept of evolution and interaction with digital systems. Now her research and production emphasize Art, Poetics and Computer Technology, Complex Systems, and Design for interactive media. She is working mainly on the following topics: art and digital systems, computer art, artificial life, interaction design, and the creation of multimodal interfaces.

Yamin Xu is an artist and electronics geek, working in the edge that blurs animation, artificial intelligence, and robotics with an emphasis on the exploration of computational perception as an inseparable part of art expression. Because of his interdisciplinary background, he strives to create and define new things, which have not been clearly perceived as art. This motivation is sustained by his rigorous art/engineering practice, which is informed by the convergence of divergent spheres of study: religion and science, privacy and surveillance, robotic and organic. The result is in innovation, feedback to affect and expand his understanding and definition of art. His artwork has been exhibited internationally, such as ACM SIGGRAPH, TEI and CAA. Currently, Yamin Xu is an Assistant Professor at Bowling Green State University Digital Arts program.
