In 2024, he received the festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing his enduring impact on the field.

Boris Labbé is a French artist whose work merges hand-drawn animation with digital media to create intricate, immersive visual experiences. His films and installations often explore themes of transformation, repetition, and the interplay between the organic and the artificial. Labbé’s work has been showcased internationally, including at festivals such as Cannes, Annecy, and Ars Electronica, earning numerous awards like the Golden Nica for Animation and the Grand Prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival. 

Jacob Ciocci is an American artist whose work spans video, installation, performance, and digital media. A founding member of the influential art collective Paper Rad, Ciocci is known for his frenetic, lo-fi aesthetic that blends pop culture detritus with internet ephemera. His practice explores themes of technology, identity, and emotional vulnerability, often using humor and overload as critical tools. Ciocci’s work has been exhibited internationally and engages with the shifting texture of contemporary life in the digital age.

Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst are Berlin-based artists and technologists whose collaborative work explores the intersections of music, artificial intelligence, and digital rights. Herndon, an American composer with a Ph.D. in Computer Music from Stanford University, is known for integrating human vocals with machine learning in her compositions. Dryhurst, a British artist and researcher, focuses on decentralized internet technologies and artist autonomy.

Together, they explore new models for creative collaboration and digital rights, developing tools and frameworks that aim to empower artists in the age of machine learning and networked media. 

Peter Burr is an artist from Brooklyn, NY who transforms complex computational systems into emotional, sensory experiences through large-scale immersive environments. Drawing from early experiments with computational graphics in the mid-nineties, Burr’s practice has evolved to incorporate techniques that merge fundamental computing operations with modern real-time rendering systems. His work frequently explores the relationship between human-machine interfaces and the underlying systems that drive them.

Previously Burr worked under the alias Hooliganship and founded the video label Cartune Xprez through which he produced hundreds of live multimedia exhibitions and touring programs showcasing a multi-generational group of artists at the forefront of experimental animation. His practice has been recognized through grants and awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Creative Capital Grant, and a Sundance New Frontier Fellowship. His work has been presented at major cultural institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, The Barbican Centre, Documenta 14, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Centre Pompidou.

Throughout his career, Burr has maintained an active presence in the computational arts field, with exhibitions in over 25 countries. He regularly presents his research at institutions including past keynotes at Yale University and Ars Electronica. He is a current PhD candidate in video games at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Vince Mckelvie is a Los Angeles based digital artist. Vince’s palette combines the building blocks of online expression like emojis and memes, content and styles pulled from the endless scroll of social media, and 3D models liberated from their original contexts — Vince transmutes the mundane into the magical. Their work is a kaleidoscope of the internet consciousness and is a medium for exploration, commentary, and celebration.

Zzoon is a media artist who creates real-time audiovisual works centered around particles.

In the process of visually recreating the emotions and physical sensations evoked by sound, Zzoon explores where those emotions originated and transforms them into their own unique form of expression.

Tomasz Woźniakowski, a 3D animator, illustrator, musician and Szczecin native, he creates surreal and playful animations with original soundtracks that express the artist’s confusion and evoke a range of emotions (not only positive ones). He loves to refine his compositions and lighting and distort reality in every possible way.

Thomas Pons is a protean artist exploring the medium of animated image in all its forms: from its original state in exhibitions graphics, moving by the production of music videos, short films and series and interactive within augmented reality, virtual and live experiences like VJing. His graphic universe tinged with poetry and darkness, mostly black and white, questions Man and his habits through a recurring figure: a black silhouette, symbol of our deep psyches.

 

Splinter Frames presents anthropology-forward video collages into data-driven audiovisual interpretations. Combining several workflows into multimedia technical settings, the work incepts itself, drawing poetic connections between the tangible and intangible using interpretive music and high-tech visuals.
