In this live conversation, Finleigh discusses founding her bicoastal dance company and implementing an artistic direction that prioritizes the emotional well-being of her dancers.

Rui Yang’s work lives in the fascinating friction between razor-sharp engineering logic and fluid artistic critique. As a New York-based multidisciplinary artist and full-time commercial CG generalist, Yang utilizes everything from high-end CGI and animation to custom AI workflows to dismantle how technology reshapes our modern world. In this text-based conversation, we trace the roots of his practice and his double life balancing corporate CG production with gallery fine art

Jerry White Jr. is a filmmaker, musician, writer, and founder of the Vidlings & Tapeheads Film Festival. He began making films as a teenager through home movies and public access television in Metro Detroit, later studied at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and has continued to move across film, writing, music, and collaborative creative communities. He has also described himself, quite rightly, as someone drawn to niche creative subcultures, outsider artists, and passionate

Heehyun Chun composes original soundtracks for film, live performance, and immersive installations, integrating modular, Eurorack, and electronic instrumentation to expand the boundaries of auditory experience. In this live conversation, Chun takes us behind the complex architecture of her machinery to trace the quiet turning points of her displacement, revealing how personal memory and institutional friction slowly reshaped her creative path.

Yijun Yang’s work moves between domesticity and visual fiction, creating constructed scenes that examine the fragility of memory and cultural identity. Yang utilizes everyday objects manipulated at unexpected scales to present images of tangible stillness that hold deep feeling beyond mere narrative or explanation. In this conversation, she invites us to her profound collaborative philosophy on how empty spaces continue to carry emotional resonance long after a character has

As an Art Lead working across multiplatform game development and an independent artist, Malakhov pairs his rigorous classical art education with a deep reflection on how emerging digital spaces reshape our perception of presence and memory. In this text-based interview, he opens up about his belief that visual art operates as a nonverbal "bionic code" capable of conveying raw human emotion where words fail.

Đurđija’s multidisciplinary practice transforms field recordings and overheard voices into profound cultural inquiries. From wartime Yugoslavia’s radio static to New York subway arias, this conversation explores how the act of listening maps the hidden hierarchies of our world.

Yasmine Laraqui’s multidisciplinary work transforms the image into a live sociological experiment, exploring the fluid mechanics of human belonging under platform capitalism.

Jiaqi Liu’s work begins with a deceptively simple proposition: construct a condition precisely enough that something larger than the artist can begin to unfold. Across technology, imaging, performance, writing, and public-facing works, she is less interested in medium as identity than in the subtle point where structure becomes experience.

Gordon Fung works across performance, media installation, experimental video, sound, participatory theater, writing, and curatorial practice. His work moves between playful and esoteric registers, but the underlying concern is consistent: how art might help people ask better questions, become more attentive to interdependence, and remain human amid historical repetition, technological acceleration, and social fragmentation.

Chen-Yi Wu works across image and text, moving between documentary filmmaking, photography, illustration, writing, teaching, programming, and collaboration as interconnected forms of inquiry.

In this episode of Inside Out, ELSEHERE sits down with Li Ning for a long, unhurried conversation on the body, performance, memory, migration, loss, and the strange ways art returns us to ourselves. Moving between rural childhood, breakdance culture in 1980s China, sculpture training, grief, contemporary dance, nudity, censorship, and the body’s own knowledge, Li Ning reflects on how movement first gave him back his body, then gave him a place to belong.

Enrico Dedin works at the intersection of digital culture, image-making, and critical reflection on the present. In his practice, the smartphone, the archive, found footage, symbolic collage, and AI are not simply subjects or tools. They are symptoms, infrastructures, and mirrors through which contemporary life reveals its rituals, dependencies, and cognitive transformations. What follows is an edited text-based conversation drawn from his written responses, focusing on techn

Pam Patterson’s responses resist neat framing. She moves through legacy, embodiment, humor, pain, pedagogy, contradiction, performance, and what remains when the body can no longer be taken for granted. What follows is an edited text-based conversation drawn from her written responses. We have preserved the shape, vulnerability, wit, and force of her voice, while lightly revising for clarity and publication.

Noa Covelo is a dancer, theater-maker, and choreographer whose practice moves across performance, pedagogy, and research. Rooted in embodiment, community, and the inner-outer tensions of contemporary life, her work explores how the body holds memory, risk, and the possibility of transformation.

Inside-Out is ELSEHERE’s long-form interview series: slow conversations that stay close to practice, process, and what usually goes unspoken in public artist narratives. In this episode, Fatima Logan-Alston speaks about the internal structures that shape artistic life over time, memory, choice, discipline, and the quiet work of returning to oneself.
