Lena Schabus (*1990 in Hutthurm) studied Fine Arts and Aesthetic Education, Media Studies, and Art History at the University of Regensburg. She has received various awards and scholarships, including the Cultural Development Prize of the City of Regensburg, the Debut Grant of the Free State of Bavaria, and the Julius F.

International artist-in-residence stays have taken her to Virginia (USA), Linz (Austria), Budapest (Hungary), Pilsen (Czech Republic), and Pujols (France). Schabus lives and works in Regensburg and has had her studio at the Künstlerhaus Andreasstadel since 2017.

Oriane Pichuèque is a French artist based in Rouen, Normandy, working at the intersection of media archaeology, digital media and critical infrastructure. Drawing on methods of reverse engineering and technical investigation, her practice examines the infrastructures of emerging technologies by analysing their various uses, the imaginaries that surround them, and the power dynamics they produce. Her work aims to make visible the new visions and forms of control executed by the emergence of a technologised society.
