Lukas Truniger is a visual artist, electronic musician and creative technologist, working with generative media in the broadest sense. He creates singular experiences challenging the modalities of perception, taking advantage of the mimetic nature of technology to reveal the materiality of our digital societies. His work pinpoints at unseen connections of natural, cultural and artificial system, further blurring their supposed division. He explores latent realities through emergent choreographies and systemic narratives, which can take the form of multimedia installations, speculative infrastructures, and audiovisual performances.
Born in Zürich (CH), he lives and works in Paris. His work has been shown internationally since 2016 at institutions such as the LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial (Gijón), HeK – House of Electronic Arts (Basel), West Kowloon Cultural District (Hong Kong), V2_ (Rotterdam), Ludwig Museum (Budapest), Pearl Art Museum (Shanghai), Fondation Vasarely (Aix-en-Provence), Harvestworks (New York City) and La Villette (Paris) as well as at various festivals: Days of Art&Science (Leiden), Lost Art (Berlin), Sónar+D (Barcelona), Nuit Blanche (Paris), MMMAD Festival (Madrid), Athens Digital Arts Festival, Ars Electronica (Linz), Mapping Festival (Geneva), Burning Man (Nevada), Variation Media Art Fair (Paris), Sonica (Glasgow), International Digital Arts Biennial / BIAN (Montreal) and International Symposium for Electronic Arts / ISEA (Paris and Hong Kong).
He was awarded with the Pax Art Award 2025 (Basel), Lumen Price 2024 (London) and was shortlisted for the Prix Cube 2016 (Paris).
Bruce Yoder is a senior research scientist at the ETH Zürich in the field of physical chemistry. His focus on the spectroscopy of aerosol particles and fundamental studies of light-matter interactions to bring a deeper understanding of our world. He is involved in multiple projects with the aerosol and nanoparticle group at the ETH Zürich, as well as collaborations at synchrotrons and free-electron lasers around Europe.
Born and raised in the Midwest of the USA, he first moved to Switzerland in 2006 for doctoral studies at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. He then went to the University of British Columbia in Canada for a postdoctoral fellowship awarded by the Fonds National Suisse, before returning to Swiss academia.
Since 2018, he has collaborated on the art project ‘ethereal fleeting’ with the goal of generating moments and provoking thoughts through the extrapolation of delicate balances found in nature by synthetic means. With special interest in the transitory nature of all existence and an affinity to juxtaposition, he aims to challenge ideas that are too often held as self-evident. In 2024, the collaboration continued with ‘implausible rainbows’.
