Lilian C. Scheuer, (null)
(null) is an audiovisual exploration of existential anxiety and the fractured identity of the digital age. Composed entirely of digital material—including screenshots, screen recordings, QR codes, memes, and GIFs—the work navigates the tension between digital nihilism and post-ironic self-mythologisation, reflecting on the paradox of searching for meaning in an oversaturated online world.
Lilian C. Scheuer is a multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer based in Germany. Her work investigates the psychological conditions of human nature in relation to the post-digital age, spanning audiovisual works, printed matter, and installations. She employs digital aesthetics and internet iconography to explore the dual existence of modern society—simultaneously physical and virtual.
Marvin Hauck, States of Matter
Inspired by Oskar Fischinger’s 1920s wax experiments, States of Matter is an experimental strata-cut animation crafted from wax and paper. Solid sculptures are shaped from liquid wax, only to be systematically sliced apart and reanimated, creating mesmerising macro animations. The tactile soundscape accentuates the textures and movements of the materials, immersing the viewer in their transformation.
Marvin Hauck is an experimental animator. Influenced by his studies in creative media in Hong Kong, he later pursued a master’s degree in animation in the Netherlands, focusing on expanding the field of strata-cut animation. His practice builds on historical techniques while exploring new material possibilities in moving image.
Sophie Waller, QUEER TEARS
QUEER TEARS visualises the disconnect between internal queer experience and external societal perception. Through costume and abstraction, the film constructs a world where alienation and monstrosity take centre stage—transforming pain and exclusion into symbols of joy and self-acceptance.
Sophie Waller is a British-American interdisciplinary artist and performer based in the Netherlands. Working across performance, video, and digital media, she explores physical expression, queerness, and abstraction. Her practice embraces experimentation and non-traditional methodologies, using play and intuition to challenge normative structures and perceptions.
Miguel Teodoro, Chemical Affinities
Chemical Affinities traces the ecological and territorial impact of ammonia fertilisers in Portugal’s Alentejo region. The work juxtaposes high-resolution images of agricultural landscapes with granular Super 8 footage toned using ammonia-based processes, questioning the role of chemicals in shaping growth, industry, and visual culture.
Miguel Teodoro is a visual artist and researcher working between Portugal and the Netherlands. His practice examines materiality, geopolitics, and ecology through site-responsive and media-specific interventions. Holding an MA in Geo-Design from Design Academy Eindhoven, he investigates the techno-scientific transformation of landscapes and its historical entanglements with imaging technologies.
Nesie Junyi Wang (she/her), In the Trace of Tilled Stones, 2024, 20’
At a copper mine in China, decades of extraction have left the land infertile and toxic. Yet, despite these conditions, mine workers have created small gardens in the very soil altered by industrial processes. This film interweaves their stories, revealing the complex relationship between the workers and the landscape they both degrade and nurture.
Nesie Junyi Wang is an artist and researcher working across printmaking, photography, and film. Her practice explores human interactions with their environments, focusing on relational dynamics, paradoxical connections, and transformations within ecological and cultural contexts.
