DANIELLE BRATHWAITE-SHIRLEY

Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley (b. 1995, London) lives and works between Berlin and London. Working predominantly in animation, sound, performance and video game development, and with a background in DIY print media and activism, the artist’s practice focuses on intertwining lived experience with fiction to imaginatively retell and archive the stories of Black Trans people. Danielle utilizes interactive technologies to create participatory spaces that challenge traditional narratives and encourage active engagement. Their projects often take the form of immersive video games, where players navigate choices that confront their assumptions and biases, fostering deeper conversations about identity, privilege, and systemic oppression. Through their innovative use of digital media, Danielle not only preserves histories but also envisions inclusive futures where the voices of those that are ignored or erased are central. Their work is both ‘archive and insurgency’, a catalyst for dialogue, inviting audiences to reflect on their roles within broader societal structures.  
Danielle has presented recent solo exhibitions at institutions such as LAS Foundation, Halle am Berghain, Berlin (2024); Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona (2024); Studio Voltaire, London (2024); Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève (2024); SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah (2023); Villa Arson, Nice (2023); HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Berlin (2023); FACT, Liverpool (2022); Project Arts Centre, Dublin (2022); Skänes konstförening, Malmö (2022); Arebyte Gallery, London (2021); QUAD, Derby (2021); Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea (2020).

JOÃO PIMENTA GOMES

João Pimenta Gomes (Lisbon, 1989) is a visual artist and musician who lives and works in Lisbon. He studied Music Production, Photography and Drawing and is an invited lecturer in Sound and Image at the Escola das Artes da Universidade Católica do Porto. 
His practice draws on references from the musical field and explores the relationships between space and the body through the manipulation of modular synthesisers, images, videos and objects. His works create experiences which explore the proximity and tensions between the analogical and the digital, the sensorial and the conceptual. Through performances and live events, the artist expands these experiences to the audience who, by coming in contact with the works, observes the process of creation of the musical idea and sonic composition, making their body - its approximation, removal or modelling - a central element in the creation of the works.
His projects, performances and exhibition include the group show Esfíngico Frontal (curated by Germano Dushá), Galeria Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo, 2023; Poly-Free, MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia, Lisbon, 2022; Alto Mar / Metavox, Palácio Nacional de Belém, Lisbon and Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers, Aubervilliers, 2022; Doppelganger III, Sound & Future, Plataforma Revólver, Lisbon, 2022; and Doppelganger VII, Lux Frágil, Lisbon, 2022; Clouds, Kunstraum Botschaft, Berlin, 2021; Winter Work, Galeria Quadrado Azul, Lisbon, 2021, while a member of the group Matéria Simples with which he also created A Ilha de Calipso, Appleton Garagem, Lisbon, 2020; and Micro Resonances (Appleton Box, Lisbon, 2020).

cosmos - Libby Heaney

 

LIBBY HEANEY

Libby Heaney works with quantum materiality to unsettle the conditions through which meaning, time and perception are typically stabilised. Recognised as the first artist to use quantum computing as a fully functioning artistic medium since 2019, her practice spans glass, watercolour, performance, sound, video, print and computational systems, including AI and quantum technologies, treated as sites where coherence can fail rather than as representational tools.

Trained as a scientist, with a PhD in quantum information science, Heaney engages quantum processes such as superposition, entanglement and non-locality to undo linear causality, hierarchy and the bounded subject. Her work addresses grief, memory, ecological loss and intimacy without resolving them into fixed meanings, holding experience in states of indeterminacy that resist narrative closure. Through this approach, she has developed a distinctive visual and conceptual language she terms quantum feeling, where care, politics and magic shape how uncertainty is sustained. Her work has been exhibited internationally and awarded prizes including the Lumen Prize and the Falling Walls Art & Science Prize.

He also composes music for dance and film, and has produced radio programmes and podcasts dedicated to Brazilian music. He has released six albums and has toured with them in Portugal, Spain, France, and Macau, performing at venues and festivals such as Rock in Rio Lisbon, the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Sines World Music Festival, and RTP’s Festival da Canção, where he reached the semifinals with a song addressing xenophobia and prejudice against immigrants, an issue that has been growing worldwide.

cosmos - tabita rezaire

 

TABITA REZAIRE

Tabita Rezaire is infinity incarnated into an agent of healing, who uses art as a mean to unfold the soul.

Her cross-dimensional practices envision network sciences - organic, electronic and spiritual - as healing technologies to serve the shift towards heart consciousness.

Navigating digital, corporeal and ancestral memory as sites of struggles, she digs into scientific imaginaries to tackle the pervasive matrix of coloniality and the protocols of energetic misalignments that affect the songs of our body-mind-spirits. Inspired by quantum and cosmic mechanics, Tabita’s work is rooted in time-spaces where technology and spirituality intersect as fertile ground to nourish visions of connection and emancipation.

Through screen interfaces and collective offerings, her digital healing and energy streams remind us to access our own inner data center, to bypass western authority and download directly from source.

Tabita is based in Cayenne, French Guyana. She has a Bachelor in Economics (Fr) and a Master of Research in Artist Moving Image from Central Saint Martins (Uk). Tabita is a founding member of the artist group NTU, half of the duo Malaxa, and the mother of the energy house SENEB.
