About the Curators

ELI JOTEVA is a Bulgarian media artist and researcher based in Los Angeles. With a practice rooted in photography and digital media, her work traces the translations between material and virtual planes in an effort to re-imagine the experiences of both human and other-than-human bodies. Influenced by contemporary research in the fields of quantum mechanics, neurophysics, and machine vision, she is currently investigating organic and computational memory systems in relationship to imaging technologies of the past and future. She holds an MFA from UCLA Design | Media Arts, a BA in Fine Arts from USC Roski, and most recently completed The New Normal post-graduate research program at Strelka. She has exhibited internationally, been a resident artist at Vermont Studio Center (2019), ACRE (2018), Photo+Sphere (2018) , and an active member of UCLA Art Sci Center | Lab since 2016. She is currently an artist in residence at Fraunhofer MEVIS, a curator for SUPERCOLLIDER Gallery in Los Angeles, a freelance procedural animation artist and a director of virtual galleries for multiple online exhibitions and projects including Current.cam
KHANG NGUYEN is a visual artist, independent curator and Ph.D. student in Eastern and Western philosophies at Claremont Graduate University. To be more specific, Nguyen studies the nondual tradition in the East as well as the dialectical tradition and postmodern philosophy in the West. He bridges these distinct traditions by showing their commonality, while at the same time respecting their irreducible differences. The philosophical and spiritual insights attained from his investigations are integrated into his visual art and curatorial projects.

He has exhibited internationally in the U.K., Japan, Germany, Croatia, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Turkey, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and the U.S. Most notably are the 2016 Aichi Triennale in Nagoya, Japan, the 2017 Emerging Curator Awards at LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions), and exhibiting artist at Tokyo Arts And Space, Open Site 2018. His current projects include co-founder at OOTE 41221 project space, co-founder of Transit Republic, an art and socio-anthropological publication, Genzō, an intercultural photographic journal, and contributing editor for Fabrik, Artscape, and Art Bridge Institute.
