resonant ground

snake_case is a London-based composer and performer duo consisting of Imogen Davey and Callum Murray. Working across sound, installation and audiovisual performance, their practice explores human-machine interaction and its implications for authorship, perception and creativity in digital culture.

Their work combines generative sound, spatial audio and interactive systems to create immersive environments where audiences, algorithms and virtual worlds interact. They develop work that moves between live performance, installation and game sound design.

Their work has been presented at HOLON Berlin, Berlin Fashion Week, Helsinki Fashion Week, Sónar Festival and Ars Electronica. Commissioned work includes projects for SBLMTN Studio and the Virtual Beauty exhibition at Somerset House. They have also presented audiovisual performances at Candid Arts, New River Studios, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and Deptford X Festival.

Anais Öst is a London-based Peruvian-Swedish artist working across sculpture and installation. Her practice explores deep time, materiality, scale, and systems through elemental forces such as water, erosion, and weight. Drawing on interests in geography and sound, her work moves between the organic, urban, and industrial, exploring thresholds between human presence, landscape, and environment. Integrating natural and manufactured materials, Öst creates immersive and spatially responsive works that reflect on transformation, memory, and the shifting conditions that shape how we inhabit the world.

She holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Contemporary Music from The New School. Her work has been shown in the UK, USA, Peru, Spain, and South Korea.

Kanzer Xu is an artist based in Tokyo, working between China and Japan. He studied filmmaking at the Beijing Film Academy and began his contemporary art practice in 2021. Working across video, photography, and installation, his work examines the relationships between image technologies, political power, and historical narratives.

His research-driven practice often begins with specific technological systems or historical events, including computer vision, surveillance infrastructures, war archives, and monumental landscapes. Through the use of found footage, reconstructed documents, and staged interventions, Xu investigates how images participate in systems of governance, warfare, and ideological production.

His work has been presented in exhibitions and screenings in China and Japan, including solo and group exhibitions in Beijing, Tokyo, and Changsha. By reassembling visual materials and narrative structures, Xu’s practice reveals the power relations embedded within contemporary visual culture and reflects on how technological images shape our understanding of war, memory, and identity.

Harry Smithson is an artist living and working in London. His work explores sonic structure, ritual and storytelling through performance, sculpture and sound – often hybridising all three in the form of installation. He draws upon a mixture of contemporary and historical references, ranging from
the symbolism of Haley’s Comet, to Steven Spielberg’s movie ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’ Smithson uses these instances as touchstones within his work to consider wider themes of transformation, illusion, resonance and reoccurrence.

Recent exhibitions; lake gallery (solo), Bomb Factory, The Good Rice (duo) and Somers Gallery. He holds a MFA in Fine Art Media from the Slade school of Fine Art.

Samantha Jackson (b.1999) is a painter from Dundee, Scotland. She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2023 and the Royal College of Art in 2024. Her work is a gestural exploration of everyday life and the relationships that emerge between painting, material and site through making. She studies compositions that erode hierarchies of sight and result in fleeting, fragmented paintings that play with the modern nature of images in our habitual lived experiences. Recently drawing has begun to develop in her practice as a critical mode of making, using mixed charcoal methods (powder, wet and willow) to express large scale, gestural drawings. These are a bodily response to perceived barriers and systems of power/ access and often take the form of historic ironwork.

Her work maintains that painting is a shared, lived experience rather than a singular event, seeking to reward long looking as a way of fostering intimacy and connection with one another, particularly in the face of wider bureaucratic harm. All of her work understands itself as an object in a particular space, in drawings and paintings she incorporates ephemera that speaks to our current time through her own personal experiences. Samantha currently lives and works in London with the Conditions Studio
Programme.
