Paige Emery is an artist exploring the ecological body and ritual interactions that weave worlds. Her work bridges poetics and praxis, mysticism and theory, healing rituals and critical ecology. This has taken shape recently through art installations for more-than-human divination systems at Biosphere 2 and Mt Wilson Observatory, and performances with gardens as places of nonlinear time in Germany and Italy.
Thomas O Haakenson is Associate Professor in the graduate Critical and Visual Studies Program, as well as in the undergraduate Critical Studies Program and the Visual Studies Program, at California College of the Arts. He is co-editor of the series German Visual Culture. He has been published widely, including in the anthologies Legacies of Modernism and Memorialization in Germany Since 1945.
Ravi Majeti is Professor of Medicine (Hematology) and Director of the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine. His laboratory focuses on the molecular characterization and therapeutic targeting of leukemia stem cells in human hematologic disorders, particularly AML. He is a recipient of several awards and a member of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Task Force on Hematologic Malignancies.
David Stork has held faculty positions in Physics, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, Computational Mathematical Engineering, Neuroscience, Psychology, and Art and Art History variously at several universities. He is a Fellow of seven international technical societies and his eighth book is "Pixels & paintings: Foundations of computer-assisted connoisseurship".
