Marco Poggio
Marco Poggio is a New York City-based journalist trained in crime and social justice reporting. His presentation “I Can’t Sleep” is a video essay based on explorations he made during a cross country journey. In the video installation, Marco proposes a type of inquiry that it’s amorphous, ever-changing, but at the same time final. It’s a journey into a pre-societal existence. “This is not about who polices the police, or who lawyers the lawyers. This about who mans the man,” Marco said of his medium. Sound design by Matteo Poggio.

Acid Maria
Angelika Lepper aka DJ ACID MARIA has pursued danceable-experimental electronic sounds since the 1990s, playing international clubs, festivals and cultural events. Beyond her long-term residency at Munich’s Ultraschall club, she has also graced venues in Mexico City, Chicago, Tokyo, Nairobi, Istanbul, Warsaw, Vienna, Amsterdam, Offenbach, Zurich (and many more) with her DJing skills. For her own music, she sounds out the links, intersections and areas of friction between different styles and eras; always with an open eye and ear for subcultures and their aesthetic concepts as well as intriguing overlaps with other media arts, their codes and modes of expression. Author Thomas Meinecke mentions her in his novel »Musik«. She is a founding member of the female pressure platform, established in the late 1990s to improve the networking and visibility of women in electronic art and music. After finishing her diploma in Media Art and Philosophy and Aesthetics in Karlsruhe, she moved to Berlin (2004-2014) where she worked as a DJ, artist and lecturer – the latter at a range of colleges and universities (incl. the Film University Potsdam Babelsberg Konrad Wolf, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and UCC Beijing). Angelika also researches and writes about appropriations in Fine Arts – currently with a focus on hacking, modding, circuit bending and artistic strategy. Together with her daughter, she lives beside lake Ammersee, near Munich.

SAMAN GENSHIN
Celestial Bodies: A Hokkaido Hadiograph
Hokkaido Japan is a place where the land and sky are animated. Volcanoes, geysers, avalanches, snowstorms and earthquakes make the earth a participant in a drama. The ground isn’t something we just walk on, there to absorb our steps. The sky also isn't a canopy that simply suspends itself over us. Both push back against each other and yield to one another, with us as bystanders to this drama.
These are Hadiographs of Hokkaido. Hadiographs are a work-on-paper process created by Saman Genshin, incorporating gelatin silver darkroom photography, graphite and paper constructions. They incorporate traditional photochemical photography, 19th and early 20th century darkroom based photo manipulation, painting and graphite. The works shown here are based on original photographs of Hokkaido landscapes by Saman.
