Scott Wade
Wade's work does not distinguish between the "surreal" and the "everyday," but sees them as one and the same. When the surreal (questionable) that appears and disappears loosens and dissolves into the everyday, it activates our thoughts and arouses our curiosity. This sequence has the function of making the viewer feel pleasure. "Shareable content" and interactive online exchanges provide entertainment that is pregnant with the surreal and the everyday. However, the viewer's physical actions remain passive. So where is the physical pleasure? In the body, in the perception, or in the passive action itself? This idea is explored through the narrative of the video work "Soap & Mud." He continues to weave stories that question these mundane things.

He regards the media he uses for his artworks, such as paintings and videos, as bodies, and creates and researches them with the aim of capturing their aspects in his works. Therefore, his motif is the process of media creation itself, such as the transformation of paint into painting, and also what makes the body a body, that is, something that manifests its existence as an individual. And if the artwork is a body, then it will have a world just like an individual human being. He is conscious of the composition of his works and the exhibition method that will bring out the mutuality in the act of appreciation, that is, how the work can reach out into the exhibition room or into the viewer's body as the work, or how the viewer can become aware of that hand.

Martin Berteloodt
Berthelot is a French multimedia artist based in Tokyo. He is known for his unique dark and surreal style, which explores themes of sexuality and trauma. His work is a cross between beauty and filth, grotesqueness and fascination, and often evokes a sense of chaos, irrationality and anxiety. Drawing on his rich cultural experience and curiosity about human psychology, he creates fantastical and uncomfortable otherworldly worlds through a variety of media, and his works, which he has collaborated with artists such as Courtney Love and Rosalia, as well as various production companies, have been featured at the Cannes Film Festival and other events.
