<span class="not-set">(not set)</span>

Chloe Alexandra Thompson is a Cree, Canadian, interdisciplinary artist and sound designer. Thompson approaches sound as a mode of connection—embracing the kinesthetic agency of sound to compose abstract feats of spatialized audio recording and synthesis. Her work engages tactics of material minimalism to create site-specific installations that sculpt droning, maximalist experiences out of space and sound.

Matthew Edwards aka aesthetic.stalemate is a multidisciplinary artist who blends installation art, music production, film, performance and virtual reality. In 2010, he created a Portland performance venue and artist space called Xhurch, which remains a staple of the Portland underground. In 2014, he fell in love with virtual reality as a confluence of digital art and creative practices, which led him to co-found Portland Immersive Media Group, a collective of digital artists and game designers interested in exploring virtual reality as an experiential medium. Currently, he is an instructor in virtual and augmented reality at Portland Community College.
