Thomas Bayrle (b. 1937 Berlin, lives and works in Frankfurt) is an artist who was trained as a weaver and currently works with drawings, collages, film and computer graphics. Bayrle focuses on ideas around the masses and further into ideas around generating superstructures through geometric patterns of images with a variety of techniques and materials. In doing so, his work reveals contradictions within the forms of organization upon society rests. Bayrle taught at the Academy of Fine Arts, Stadelschule in Frankfurt from 1975 to 2002. He has received several awards and prizes including the Prix Arts Electronica, Linz (1995) and the Cologne Art Prize (2000).

Lene Berg (b. 1965 Oslo, lives and works in Oslo and Stockholm) was educated as a film director at Dramatiska Institutet in Stockholm. Several of her projects have their point of departure in documentary material without that necessarily being a priority in the result. One of her themes is fictional thinking in relation to and confrontation with the physical world. In 2006 she presented the publication Gentlemen & Arseholes and the video The Man in the Background, two parts of a project about art and propaganda during the Cold War. Berg has participated in a number of group exhibitions and had many solo shows and projects, mainly in Spain and Germany.

Rosalind Nashashibi (b. 1973 Croydon, UK, lives and works in London) uses a 16 mm camera to produce films that capture collective rituals of closed communities. As described in a recent issue of Artforum, Nashashibi is "noted for her ability to portray the psychological atmosphere of locations and to address major questions about the power of political and cultural institutions through anthropomorphic images and through a recourse to the language of primitivism." The artist was educated at Sheffield Hallam University and Glasgow School of Art.
