Constanza Camelo Suarez's work is essentially based on territorial occupations through the body in performance art, video performance and installAction. The body — object and subject — explores interactions between different transdisciplinary postures during different ephemeral cohabitations of public and private spaces. In addition, C. Camelo is a cofounder of the artist collective We are not Speedy Gonzales, collective who creates situations around the dynamics of the transcultural identity. She is also a board member of the artist's run center DARE DARE. She lectures at the Université du Québec à Montréal.

She completed her degree, which involved a visiting student exchange program with Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Interested by the link created between the artist and the viewers in their daily life, she works with portable video devices and printed media. Her work has been exhibited in numerous cities in Europe and North America. She was part of the last edition of Conflux Festival, in New York City.

Patricia A. Duquette began exploring collaborative and process-centric works as a dancer and performance artist in the eighties. In the interim, she founded ensembles Virtual Insanity (1992), Red Spider Multi-Media Productions (1995), and IMPETUS Interdisciplinary Works (2001). Her diverse creative expertise has contributed to countless independent projects spanning the performing and media arts industries in cities across Canada. Patricia writes, directs, and produces personal works marked with a signature of disciplinary experimentation, multiple-narrative content, and social commentary.

Anna Friz is a sound and radio artist, and critical media studies scholar. Since 1998 she has predominantly created self-reflexive radio art/works for international broadcast, installation and performance, where radio is the source, subject, and medium of the work. She also creates dynamic, atmospheric sound works for theatre, dance and solo performance that are equally able to reflect upon public media culture or to reveal interior landscapes. Anna is a free103point9.org transmission artist.

Ximena Holuigue lives and works in Montreal. She has a bachelor in Film Production from Concordia University where she began as a documentarist and photographer. Her work has since been displayed in the media of photography, film, video, ceramics & screenprinting works through a joint process called « cineramics ».

In the last years, she took part of events organization such as Le Mois de la Photo, Les Rendez-Vous du cinéma québécois, Art Matters and lately to the Pop Montreal and Htmlles 8 festivals.

In her exhibitions or residencies in France (in the cities or in the country), in Europa, in Africa, in Turkey or in Japan, Séverine Hubard produces tridimentionnal constructions in diy. Taking account of a somewhat organized life, Séverine Hubard reroutes what she extracts from it, disposes it according to her desires, to disconcert, to carry away, to unbalance the spectator in offering him a cheerfull and subversive point of view.
