Before The Ear
Meet the participants
Atticus Gordon
I’m a Canadian artist based in Ottawa. My practice engages with painting in the present: asking how the painting medium shifts and exists under the current conditions of capital, technology, and culture. In my practice, painting is a site of discourse where conceptual thinking meets the bodily process of mark-making, spontaneity and feeling.I search for a meeting point between hand and mind, logos and pathos. I’m committed to experimentation and and an avant-garde sprit, pushing outside of medium specific boundaries, while also digging into the mechanics of meaning-making processes within the medium of painting. Overall my works are discursive, presenting a wide frame of ideas that resist easy categorization, seeking in their complexity an attempt, inevitably fallible, to reach towards the conditions and experience of the present.
Jiaqi Wang
A cosmologist who listens to the universe’s silent frequencies—then makes them sing in a different key. Between code and canvas, I trace the hidden beauty in a dark, expanding cosmos.” I’ve also attached a photo of myself standing beneath an open sky. I hope this works—though my face isn’t clearly visible, the image better captures the spirit of what I do.
Rencong Xiang
Using abstract painting as a language to express and present the theme of life development.
Sharon Anyaegbu
Sharon Anyaegbu is a Nigerian born artist based in Ottawa, studying Sociology and Communications at the University of Ottawa. Her work centres on photography and digital art that’s driven by the exploration of self and the life around her through art. Her works seek to visually translate dialogues that can’t be fully expressed through words alone.
Derrick Wu
Derrick is a PhD student in Electrical Engineering. I specialize in designing and executing process flows for the microfabrication of semiconductor devices.
Soegiarto Hartono (Markus)
I am an Indonesian researcher exploring how musical harmony can be experienced through movement, spatial structure, and the body—not sound alone. Drawing on Minahasan philosophy, especially principles of unity and balance, I developed Kalisarmonia (an embodied approach to learning harmony) and a directional notation system that maps harmonic relationships into spatial coordinates and tactile interaction. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and Ministry and am currently pursuing an MS in Information Technology.
Jocky (Qi Zhou)
With a passion for uncovering unknowns, I explore the fascinating world of photoelectron spectroscopy of liquids. My research delves into fundamental chemical principles, electron dynamics, and air-water interface phenomena, revealing the intrinsic beauty and significance of these processes. Through this science-art collaboration, I aim to convey the wonders of science to a broader audience, highlighting the intricate connections between molecular physics, humanity, and the universe.
Zane Hu
I am studying Spatial and Media Imaging at Musashino Art University in Japan, focusing on installation, moving image, and interactive systems. My work employs sensors, algorithms, and visual interfaces to create engaging environments that prompt reflection on everyday life and social behaviors. I explore how perception, decision-making, and belief are shaped by algorithmic processes, particularly in relation to our trust in technology. Ultimately, I aim to highlight the hidden structures in our interactions with technology, encouraging viewers to question their reality.
Jason Josephson
I am a Ph.D. student in There is, I think, a sort of topos where art and science and religion and philosophy coalesce. Traditional distinctions cannot be regarded as wholly irrational, but at least in part this is a result of their construction. The old institutions have proven increasingly unsuccessful, and a new philosophy is needed. Even now, of course, the boundaries are not perfectly sharp, but they need restructuring beyond what is presently imagined. Since we are at the forefront, it will be a lot of fun, albeit very lonely and often desperate. But we will get to seek out the pillar of fire guiding us in the corner of our eye.
Henry Grahn Hermunen
The topology of the universe could of course, be flat with zero curvature - acting like a finite/infinite flat sheet where straight lines stay straight and parallel lines stay parallel- layered in connection with other similar universes. But they/it could be transformative, from "zero curvature" to positive or negative curvature likewise in synergy with other similar or contrasting universes and dimensions. I work freely with several resonating topics; another example of interest is how physics, say entanglement and action at a distance connect - correlate to body, mind and soul -in extraordinary ways- and the outcome in normal life
Ekaterina Seromakha
As a Moscow-based science art practitioner specializing in ecological themes and marine biology, I fuse visual storytelling with scientific inquiry to explore human-nature interconnections. My work translates complex ecological data—such as whale migrations and ocean pollution—into evocative mixed-media pieces, like "Package Whale" (70x50 cm, 2021), crafted from recycled polyethylene bags to symbolize plastic's impact on highly intelligent cetaceans, echoing the spiritual depth of living systems.
Ling Lin
My practice explores memory, emotional landscapes, and cultural identity through painting, ceramics, and mixed media. Drawing from Taoist philosophy and personal narrative, I approach making as a slow, meditative process, allowing form to emerge through attentive negotiation with material. Through layered imagery and tactile surfaces, I aim to create spaces that invite viewers to reconnect with their inner memory, reflect on fragility and resilience, and inhabit moments of quiet contemplation.
