Introducing our next new media artist: Jacob van der Eynden who is presenting ‘Wisps’.

In “Wisps”, an interactive digital work built in TouchDesigner, cute ghosts playfully mimic viewers’ facial expressions and react to their movements, growing more animated as the viewer does. The experience aims to create a positive feedback loop, encouraging viewers to let go of their inhibitions, and have fun moving around and making faces.

━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━

Jacob van der Eynden is a digital designer based in Naarm/Melbourne. His creative practice spans interaction design, visual programming, videography and beyond. His work—often aesthetically inspired by retro video games and computer interfaces—explores the connections between people, society, and technology, and the ways in which the three continuously shape one another. He brings his perspective as a neurodivergent person to his work, inviting audiences to question the obvious and entertain the unexpected.

Introducing our next new media artist: Ali Choudhry who will be presenting ‘Circle Circle’.

Circle Circle is an interactive video work that transforms a live camera feed into a field of shifting circles, abstracting the body into a pixel-like surface. As viewers move within the space, the circles expand and contract in real time, responding to their presence and proximity. This continuous fluctuation disrupts fixed representation, rendering the figure unstable and relational. The work invites audiences to consider how visibility is constructed and mediated by way of seeing and being seen, as their own movements actively reshape the image, structuring the boundary between observer and subject.

━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━

Ali Choudhry is a Melbourne-based photographer whose practice explores identity, perception, and the relational dynamics between subject, artist, and viewer. Working across portraiture and conceptual image-making, his work is informed by his intersectional experience as a q***r, refugee artist, investigating how personal and socio-political narratives shape individual identity. Choudhry has exhibited widely in group and solo shows, and has been recognised in major photography prizes. His images are characterised by a minimalist, controlled aesthetic that invites quiet contemplation while interrogating the processes and power structures embedded within photographic practice.

Introducing our first new media artist for Hybrid 002, Discoartkid aka Andrei who is presenting ‘The Void of Colour’. This visual work is a colourful spectacle of chaos juxtaposed with a flowing calmness that evolves through time and interaction that invites interaction without demanding presence.

━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━

Andrei is a digital and visual artist who finds beauty in systems that behave like living things. His work simulates the hidden patterns of nature through slime mould networks, mycelial growth, cellular voids, Fibonacci sequences and through vast swarms of particles that move, sense, and self-organise across the screen. The result feels less like something made, and more like something found.

At the heart of this work is a fascination with impermanence, he often brings the trail that fades, the structure that blooms and then retreats into the observatory forefront. Technology becomes a way of holding these fleeting moments still, just long enough to witness them. Shaped by live sound and touch, each piece exists only in the present tense.
The screen becomes a living field. The simulation, a kind of memory.

Introducing our next Summer Daze artist: Kerry Liang

Kerry Liang’s vibrant paintings transform familiar landscapes through bold colour and expressive mark-making. Inspired by photographs she takes of nature, architecture and everyday scenes, Kerry reimagines these moments through layered patterns, shapes and colour combinations.

Her ‘Trees in the Sun’ series captures sun-drenched landscapes and local places, translating light, warmth and atmosphere into vivid compositions. The works reflect Kerry’s ongoing exploration of colour and her desire to create paintings that viewers don’t just see, but feel.

─── ⋆｡°☼°｡⋆ ───

Kerry completed a Diploma in Visual Art at NCAT Preston in 2025. Retiring from work and completing her studies became a catalyst for dedicating her time fully to her art practice. Working primarily in acrylic paint, Kerry has developed a distinct style that allows her to express her vision of colour.

She has successfully exhibited her work since emerging from NCAT and held her first solo exhibition Kaleidoscope Eyes in 2025 at Gallery Unbound in Northcote.
