Kevin Abosch (b. 1969 in Los Angeles) is an Irish conceptual artist working across photography, film, installation, and machine-learning-based image-making. His work has consistently arrived ahead of cultural consensus — on identity, value, and the nature of the image. Among the earliest pioneers of AI-based image-making, Abosch has worked with machine learning and computer vision since 1992, a practice whose cultural moment has only recently caught up with him. He lives in Paris and holds a lectureship at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Richard Pleuger (b. 1960, Duisburg, Germany) is a Munich-based artist working in drawing, painting, and photography. He studied film and video art under Nam June Paik at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where Paik’s influence on his engagement with image-making and lens-based practice proved foundational. His current photographic work subverts the iPhone’s panoramic function to produce images that resist conventional framing.
