Artists for this edition include:

John Jesurun, Nuntinee Tansrisakul and Yuguang Zhang, Volumetric Performance Toolbox (Valencia James with Glowbox and Sorob Louie), and Fleshmarket Theatre Company.

Video Art by Stefanie Batten Bland and Malena Dayen with Sangmin Chae, plus live music by John King!
