al11z (Alice Aterman) is a 3D generalist and digital artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal whose animations explore the tension between digital abstraction and physical texture. Influenced by urban grunge, surrealism, and the aesthetics of imperfection, her work spans VFX for major brands, stage visuals for musicians, and rave flyers. During a residency at World Creation Studio, she built immersive worlds in Unreal Engine for an audio-reactive VR experience around the theme of postreality, and continues to experiment with TouchDesigner in her independent practice.

Djeity is the sonic identity of Della Orrey, a Montréal-based composer and producer whose training in classical music and affinity for melodic techno inform a sound that is both emotional and dance-driven. Beyond her solo project—marked by the 2024 release Sibon on Public Deity Records—Djeity has contributed original compositions to VR soundtracks, produced remixes for local electronic artists, and developed tools using creative tech for immersive live performance.

Fili Gibbons (Fili 周 Gibbons) is an interdisciplinary sound artist whose work integrates cello performance, improvisation, and ancestral practices. Their compositions and performances weave together audio and embodied memory, often within collaborative contexts involving VR, spatial sound, or live performance. Through their studio, Apothicaire, founded in 2018, they explore sound as a human-centred medium—offering recordings, sound design, and community-based workshops.
