David Moy will be discussing their image making practice. David’s images are born from the same tools that built the system. He uses them not just to negate adverts that pervade our minds and hold control over our wants and needs, but to implicate the very same tools that are constructing our reality.

Karyn Nakamura will present various fun experiments in sensing, computer vision, optics, imaging, spatial calibration.
