About the Artists
Roberto Azaretto is a media artist and composer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He first studied music composition at the Catholic University of Argentina and went on to attain his PhD at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD in Emergent Technologies and Media Art Practices at the University of Colorado Boulder. He uses code to mediate sound, images, and words — deployed through ordering criteria that can veer from highly systematic to manifestly arbitrary.

Brad Gallagher's practice revolves around writing, coding, sound and new media with a focus on how computation intersects these different mediums. He has had a lifelong interest in how simple rules give rise to complex behavior, how order arises from chaos and how systems with many interacting parts exhibit self-organization. As an artist he draws inspiration from and directly leverages these principles to create interactive, dynamic and emergent content. He reflects these practices back into traditional writing, creating a feedback loop of influence amongst the mediums of his work. He graduated with a BFAW from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago in May 2019. CU Affiliation: B2 Creative Fellow
Virginia Mantinian was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1979. She holds a degree in composition from the Universidad Nacional de Rosario. Her production between 2007 and 2017 has been nourished by analogies between culinary and musical art. Recently, her interest has been redirected towards collaborative work and the sensitive dimension of the configuration of space in the imaginary using technologically mediated acoustic instruments. She is a member of the Red de Compositoras Latinoamericanas - redcLa. Her works have been premiered by Carolina Aguirre Anderson, Juliana Moreno, Valentín Garvie, Jean-Jacques Dünki, Andrea García-Martín Devoto Duo, New Mexico Contemporary Ensemble, Klexos Ensemble, Tsunami Sax Quartet, Ensemble Opera Nova of Zürich, String Quartet of the Universidad de Tres de Febrero, and Kaparilo Ensemble among others.
