Born and raised in Italy, Iole Alessandrini has lived in Seattle since 1994. She received her diploma in Fine Arts from the First State School of Fine Arts in Rome and earned two master’s degrees in Architecture: one from the University of La Sapienza in Rome and the other from the University of Washington in Seattle. It is the intersection between these two creative expressions – art and architecture – through which her work moves. Alessandrini’s work has been supported through grants, resources, and ideas from: 911 Media Arts Center, Seattle Arts Museum, the Bellevue Art Museum, the Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs (formerly Seattle Arts Commission), the Cultural Development Authority of King County (formerly King County Arts Commission), the Tacoma Arts Commission and others. She is the recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2002), the Betty Bowen Award (2000), the Artists Trust Fellowship (2000), the NIAUSI Fellowship (1996) and a New Media Artist in Residence at Jack Straw Production (2004). |

Randy Moss is an artist and designer working in Seattle, Washington. His work includes human-scale installations that explore new ways for visualizing nature and human presence. Several past works have been interactive, using motion tracking sensors to create work that both reacts to and incorporates the presence of visitors. His work has been shown in Seattle at the Center on Contemporary Art, 911 Media Arts Center, and the Jack Straw New Media Gallery. He recently collaborated with composer Byron Au Yong to create a computer-controlled light installation for Au Yong’s set of 64 micro-operas entitled Kidnapping Water: Bottled Operas. |

John D. Pai has been creating experimental and documentary film for the past twelve years. He holds a Master of Fine Arts from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and started as a visual artist/photographer. His work reflects his interest in visuals, sound, music and poetry. He is a winner of the International Examiner’s Community Voice Award, and his work has been seen in Inter*Im’s Bruce Lee Exhibition, the Wing Luke Asian Museum, the Jack Straw New Media Gallery, and festivals around the world. As a media installation artist, John mixes images in non-conventional and non-linear ways at venues that include On the Boards, the Northwest Asian American Theatre, and RiverGrass Dance Theatre in Malaysia. From 1998-2000, John was a collaborative artist in the Ford Foundation’s International Artists Program. |
