Trisha Baga is an American artist working in various media, including video installations, sculpture, painting and audio installations. She is known for her experiments with technology and often uses voice and body in her work.
Her work is often interactive and a combination of different elements such as projections, sounds, objects and movement. She is also known for her use of private elements such as mobile phones to create unique and personal works of art.
Trisha Baga draws on the heritage of sculpture, painting, music, photography and literature in her practice. Among the subjects and themes she explores are contemporary events, the worship of heroes and celebrities, and collective history. Baga's installations often include film, consisting of montages and collages of found footage and photographs, stacked in such a way that some images obscure others; the films are projected directly onto the wall, over personal items and rubbish from her studio so that they cast shadows on the projection.
Her work has been exhibited in many museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in Los Angeles, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Venice Biennale.

Kerstin Brätsch is a German contemporary visual artist who often creates large-scale, highly abstract works that combine multiple media. She studied at the University of Art in Berlin and Columbia University in New York and received a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2007. She currently lives and works in New York.
Brecht creates large works that she exhibits in a particular manner. This is as far as possible from the standard form of exhibiting artwork. She hangs her works on magnets, inserts them in double glass frames and rests them against the wall, leaving them on the floor. Using this peculiar method of presentation, she combines a bit of performance art into her visual works.

Joe Goode is an American artist associated with the Pop Art and Light and Space movements. Goode's work often incorporates images of the American West, such as clouds, mountains, and sunsets, as well as everyday objects like milk bottles and newspapers.

In the 1960s, he became associated with the Pop Art movement and began incorporating images of everyday objects and popular culture into his work.
In the 1970s, Goode began exploring the potential of light and color as mediums, creating installations and sculptures that played with the ways in which light interacts with different materials and surfaces. He was also associated with the Light and Space movement, which sought to create immersive, sensory experiences through the use of light and space.

Gary Hill is an American artist who lives and works in Seattle, Washington.

Today he is best known for internationally exhibited installations and performance art, concerned as much with innovative language as with technology, and for continuing work in a broad range of media. His longtime work with intermedia explores an array of issues ranging from the physicality of language, synesthesia and perceptual conundrums to ontological space and viewer interactivity. The recipient of many awards, his influential work has been exhibited in most major contemporary art museums worldwide.

Dennis Oppenheim was an American conceptual artist, performance artist, earth artist, sculptor and photographer. Dennis Oppenheim's early artistic practice is an epistemological questioning about the nature of art, the making of art and the definition of art: a meta-art that arose when strategies of the Minimalists were expanded to focus on site and context. As well as an aesthetic agenda, the work progressed from perceptions of the physical properties of the gallery to the social and political context, largely taking the form of permanent public sculpture in the last two decades of a highly prolific career, whose diversity could exasperate his critics.

He has also experimented with printing techniques such as halftone and silkscreen, which further emphasize the mechanical and reproductive nature of the image.
Hugh Scott-Douglas has exhibited his work internationally, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Britain in London, and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. He currently lives and works in New York City.
Timur Si-Qin is a contemporary German artist. He is known for his multimedia installations, which often incorporate sculpture, video, and photography.

Si-Qin has also participated in numerous group shows and art fairs, including Art Basel, Frieze London, and the Berlin Biennale.
Si-Qin's work has been praised for its ability to question the role of images in our society and the way they are used to shape our understanding of the world. His installations often feature manufactured objects and materials, which are arranged in unexpected ways to create a sense of disorientation and destabilization. Si-Qin has stated that his work is inspired by the idea of "post-humanism," which involves rethinking our relationship to technology and the natural world in light of the rapid changes taking place in our society.

His works are examples of how the new media environment is influencing art and contemporary society in general.

Also in his work, Vierkant deals with the problem of intellectual property protection, reflecting on the limits of copyright distribution.
