Keon Ju Maverick Lee is a techno-fluent artist-researcher, percussionist, and electronic music composer exploring the intersection of music and artificial intelligence. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. at SFU’s Metacreation Lab, he designs co-creative AI agents and interactive systems for dynamic human-machine improvisation. His custom AI percussion setup was featured in Echoes of Synthetic Forest, a finalist at the 2024 AI Music Song Contest. Lee has presented work at Ars Electronica, SIGGRAPH, and SAT’s ArtIA Symposium, and collaborates with CIRMMT, IRCAM, and C4DM. His research bridges academic rigor and performance, expanding the expressive potential of AI-driven music.

Pinyao Liu is an interdisciplinary artist-researcher working between Linz and Vancouver at the crossroads of dream science, generative AI, and immersive media. His practice spans interactive installations, computational art, and sensory performances that explore altered states of consciousness and the aesthetics of dreaming. Blending scientific inquiry with poetic intuition, Pinyao investigates how technology can mediate memory, transformation, and the subconscious. His work has been featured internationally at venues including Ars Electronica, the Shanghai Biennale, SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS Creative AI, and the CVPR AI Art Gallery, offering deeply immersive experiences that blur the boundaries between perception, emotion, and machine intelligence.
