BIOGRAPHIES
Mark Fell is a Rotherham based electronic musician, multidisciplinary artist and producer whose work challenges the boundaries between dance music and academic computer music practices. Having studied experimental film and video at Sheffield’s Psalter Lane art school at the onset of the city’s techno era (circa 1990), Fell’s approach is equally grounded in the theory and practice of experimental film, radical philosophy and the electronic music subcultures surrounding house and techno. Since his early genre-defining explorations of minimal techno with Mat Steel as SND in the late 1990s, Fell’s practice moved into a period of complex dynamic works such as Multistability (Raster-Noton, 2011) and more recently into explorations of the interplay between algorithmic systems and acoustic performance, typically including choreographic and text-based elements. Widely acknowledged for his unique contributions to electronic music and sound art, Fell’s distinctive work has been presented at a vast array of institutions around the world.

Rebecca Salvadori is an Italo-Australian, London-based video artist. Her film work, including ambiguous short documentaries, artists’ portraits, music videos and non-synced live visuals, is both highly personal and wilfully elusive. Rather than following a classic, linear narrative, these take the form of visual compositions built through chance, association and repetition. Throughout the years, Salvadori has accumulated an extensive video archive from which she creates assemblages. This acts as the basis for filmic portraits of moments, people and environments. Salvadori has exhibited her audiovisual work at venues and festivals such as НИИ NII Moscow Science & Art; Macro Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome; Barbican, London; Festival of Film and Animation Olomouc; Festival IMAGES, Vevey; Crosstalk Videoart Festival, Budapest; David Lynch’s Silencio, Paris; SCHNUCK Glaspalais, Heerlen; Sophiensaele Theatre, Berlin; Future Everything Festival Manchester; III Point Festival Miami; No Bounds Festival x Warp Records, Sheffield and Cafe Oto, London.
