Andy Graydon
Andy Graydon was born and raised in Maui, Hawaii and originally trained as a filmmaker. Both experiences have been influential on his current work, which is focused on the interaction of media and environment in the forming of personal and social subjectivities. Taking the form of projected light and video installations, photographs, sound works, and architectural interventions that are attuned to site and context, Graydon’s work explores the interplay of phenomenal, ecological, and social constructions that make up our composite notion of place.
Much of this work uses cinema and pseudo-cinematic forms (including sound) to address concerns familiar to environmental art, while extending concepts of the environment to encompass the role of mediation in constructing and modulating natural and built environments, as well as "the environment", or the ground of our existence.
Graydon describes many of his projects as “science fiction ecologies,” suggesting that what is most important are the speculative potentials that circulate through an environment ? the what-ifs and the parallel dimensions; real and potential traumas and erasures; reversals of scale and time course; conflations of fictional and factual existence. Graydon’s work tries to engage the future dynamic latent within the present material existence, inviting transformations of both the environment and the perceiving subject.
Giuseppe la Spada
Giuseppe was born in Palermo in 1974. In 2002 he graduated with honors in Digital Design at the European Institute for Design in Rome, where he remained as a professor until 2004.
In 2002 he was invited to “Opera Totale 7” as one of the five best emergent Italian web designers.
In 2006 the European Institute for Design in Rome conferred him the prize for best carrier in Visual Arts.
In 2007 he won the prestigious Webby Awards, thanks to an ecological web project: the website “Mono No Aware” in support of the project “Stop Rokkasho” founded by Oscar winner Ryuichi Sakamoto. That same evening also David Bowie, Beastie Boys and YouTube founders received an award. In 2008 he worked with Sakamoto and Fennesz during the tournèe “Cendre”, which ended with the unforgettable show at Ground Zero in New York.
In 2009, together with the musician Con_cetta, he gave life to “Afleur”, a live show which in 2010 he also declined in a very particular object-book, featuring high artistic and ecological value.
In 2011, with the participation of more than 600 people, he staged an impressive human tree in Piazza Duomo, Milan, in order to raise public awareness on the problem of pollution.
The exclusive use of natural elements (water in the first place) positions him as one of the artists most sensitive to environmental issues. One of his peculiar characteristics is the ability to translate communication needs and raw ideas into 360° creative projects, making skillful use of all the different media available today. He lives and works in Milan.

Jacob Kirkegaard
Jacob Kirkegaard is a Danish artist who focuses on the scientific and aesthetic aspects of resonance, time, sound and hearing. His installations, compositions and performances deal with acoustic spaces and phenomena that usually remain imperceptible. Using unorthodox recording tools, including accelerometers, hydrophones and home-built electromagnetic receivers, Kirkegaard captures and contextualizes hitherto unheard sounds from within a variety of environments : a geyser, a sand dune, a nuclear power plant, an empty room, a TV tower, and even sounds from the human inner ear itself.
Based in Berlin, Kirkegaard is a graduate of the Academy for Media Arts in Cologne, Germany. Over the last fifteen years, Kirkegaard has presented his works at exhibitions and at festivals and conferences throughout the world such as Club Transmediale in Berlin, James Cohan Gallery and Diapason in New York as well as Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles and Museum of Contemorary Art in Denmark. He has released five albums (mostly on the British label Touch). Jacob is also a member of the sound art collective freq_out.

overtone 2 - 美術の地上戦
2002年に神奈川県民ホールギャラリーで、アメリカから４人、日本から３人が参加した展覧会「OVER TONE」を開催した。この展覧会の目的は、単に外国の作家と交流するだけでなく、これからの美術はどうあるべきか、どう提示すべきかを問うことにあった。前回の「OVER TONE」 のカタログに美術評論家の西村智弘は、「新しさとはつねに出会いのなかから生まれる。しかも異質なものとの出会いにおいて生まれるのだ。社会とのあいだ に、他者とのあいだに、あるいは自分自身とのあいだに、従来とは異なった関係を構築することが新しさを生みだすのである」と書いている。「OVER TONE」は、展覧会自体が「異質なものとの出会い」の場となり、それぞれの参加者にとって「新しさ」を生みだすきっかけとなったのだった。
今回、新たに開催される「OVER TONE」 は、前回の理念を引き継ぎつつ、さらなる展開を目指している。参加国はアメリカ、ドイツ、タイ、日本と増えており、音楽やパフォーマンスなどの他ジャンル の表現者が集まっている。また、カタログに美術評論を寄稿した７人の書き手もいわばひとりの作家として展覧会に参加している。日本の作家は海外で作品発表 の機会があると、美術を通して日本と外国の違いを痛切に感じる。外国の作家も日本の文化に出会うことで、異質なものを発見し、お互いに新しい可能性を切り 開くであろう。「OVER TONE」は、美術、音楽、身体表現などがこれからどうあるべきかを模索している者たちによってつくられる総合プロジェクトである。それは、展覧会に関わるひとりひとりと共に生まれ、また共に成長していくものとなるだろう。

Pe Lang realizes performances and creates sound installations by ingeniously assembling magnetic, electrical and mechanical devices and even inventing new devices and prototypes. The resulting works are both visually appealing, because of their elegant and minimal kinetic qualities, but also fascinating for their acoustic features.
If chance plays an important role in his works, the artist playfully manages to balance between order and chaos by controlling the forces involved in his compositions: the precision of the mechanical devices and the confusion resulted from the collision of the various elements.
Pe Lang, born in 1974 in Switzerland, lives and works in Zurich and Berlin. He has exhibited and performed in several important museums, galleries and festivals, including Transmediale, Berlin; AV Festival, Newcastle; Elektra, Montreal; Sonic Acts XII, Amsterdam; Great North Museum, Newcastle; Växjö Kunsthalle, Sweden; Dissonanze, Rome; bitforms gallery, New York; ISEA 2008, Singapore; Netherlands Media Art Institute, Amsterdam; and Cybersonica, London. Selected awards and residencies include the Swiss Art Award (2009 & 2010)
