Ma Yongfeng

Ma Yongfeng was born in Shanxi, China in 1971 and is a new media artist currently based in Beijing. He has exhibited widely across Europe, the United States and China – most recently in Chinese Video Now at P.S.1, New York, Becoming Landscape at Platform China Contemporary Art Institute, Beijing, and The Cretaceous Period at ArtSway,UK. He was selected for the Production Residency Scheme by ArtSway and the Chinese Art Centre at Manchester from an exceptional shortlist of artists nominated by Chinese curators and professionals in 2007.
Ma came to international attention in 2002 with Swirl, a video depicting six Koi carp being subjected to a 15 minute wash cycle in an upright washing machine. The piece was exhibited at MOCA in Los Angeles and PS1 in New York. Ma has continued to explore the relationship between man and nature in many of his photographic, video and installations. Ma's pieces on exhibit at Yuanfen are continuing another thread of Ma's explorations – this one into the virtual realm of what Ma calls "harmonious non-realism".

Joe Diebes

Joe Diebes graduated from Yale University. With a background in philosophy and literature, Joe then studied at the Julliard School of Music – the bastion of traditional Western classic music training – while simultaneously working with La Monte Young, an iconoclast of traditional western music theory and one of America’s major minimalist composers. Joe Diebes, standing in between and fusing the classical and its antithesis, is a unique voice in the American digital arts field for his exploratory and incisive concepts and for integrating postmodernism with the urban spirit.

Joe Diebes的艺术实践及作品 发轫于哲学和文学研究的Joe Diebes毕业于耶鲁大学和朱利亚音乐学院(该学院以美国经典音乐教育著称于世),亦曾追随美国极简主义音响艺术家﹑反西方传统音乐理论的代表人物La Monte Young。在美国数字艺术领域,自由游弋在经典与前卫音乐之间的Joe Diebes以后现代主义结合大都会精神的探险性和犀利的观念著称。

HUNG Keung

HUNG Keung Artist HUNG Keung graduated from the School of Art and Design, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, began working in film and video while at the Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London and continued to expand his artistic and spiritual horizons while at the ZKM Center for Art and Design in Karlsruhe, Germany. In a decade of work in digital art, HUNG Keung has made the transition from two-dimensional film to interactive multidimensional space. Heavily influenced by Hong Kong pop culture and design, he uses a farcical and nonsensical cultural palette to reflect the richness that lies within social change and individual private perceptions.
