Jamie Ashforth
Jamie Ashforth is a Montreal based mixed media artist, working primarily in print media. Her current practice explores the interaction between identity formation and the body (whereby 'the body' refers to an environment or human anatomy, usually her own). She is most specifically concerned with animating the movement of this interaction and hopes to expand her practice by exploring audio and video applications at Faucet Media Arts Centre.

Bronwen Moen
Bronwen Moen explores themes of the body extending beyond its normal boundaries. She intends to construct a video piece integrating sculptural body extensions, found audio and relational gestures. She would also like to integrate the sculptural ‘relics’ within the installation and perhaps experiment with projecting video onto dimensional/alternative surfaces. She is currently finding inspiration in the relational aesthetics of Krzysztof Wodiczko and Pierre Huyghes.
