Christopher Hanusa
Christopher R. H. Hanusa is a mathematician and mathematical artist who teaches at Queens College, City University of New York. His creative work grows out of his research in algebraic and enumerative combinatorics, where he explores structures such as flow polytopes, lattice points, and Coxeter groups. Hanusa’s artwork often emerges from generative processes, blending chance with intentional design. Using computational tools, he transforms mathematical ideas into vivid 2D and 3D forms, including a line of jewelry inspired by concepts such as geometry, knots, and fractals. His pieces are first modeled digitally, then produced through 3D printing and hand assembly. Hanusa’s artwork has been exhibited internationally, featured in venues such as the Bridges Fashion Show and his jewelry can be found in museums and galleries across the United States.

Jody “J.D.” Rasch
Jody “J.D.” Rasch is a writer, artist, social activist, and author whose work is fueled by a profound sense of awe at the hidden structures of the universe. He draws inspiration from quantum physics, relativity, biology and astronomy, which offer him a deeper framework for understanding existence. Rasch merges painting with scientific principles, working in three dimensions with aluminum mesh, armature wire, poured acrylic, and photographic techniques to evoke uncertainty, entanglement, and the dynamic randomness embedded in nature. His book The Silver Forestextends these interests into fiction, weaving scientific metaphors with mythic and psychological themes. Through this narrative work, he explores the same questions of interconnectedness and unseen forces that shape his visual art.
Dr. Barbara Mydlak
Barbara Mydlak is an artist-researcher based in Ghent, Belgium. She holds a PhD in the Arts from Magdalena Abakanowicz University of Fine Arts in Poznań, and a B.A. and M.A. in Visual Arts from the Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, after earlier studies in archaeology at the University of Warsaw. Her work combines traditional crafts, new technologies, and scientific research. Using cellulose from discarded plants, organic remnants, and paper or textile residue, she creates handmade paper installations exploring scent, pigment, healing, defense mechanisms, and decomposition, often incorporating film, photography, and interactive elements. Informed by autobiographical memories, rituals, and experiences of loss, she uses fragile, perishable materials to reflect on transformation and cultural perceptions of death. Drawing on her archaeology background, she studies the conservation and breakdown of these materials as installations evolve. She teaches workshops internationally, including at Tsinghua University, TNNUA, and IHECS Brussels. Since 2022, she has operated a studio in Ghent through Nucleo Kunstenaars Ateliers and is developing CHRONICA, an interactive project with Yann Deval connecting traditional papermaking and augmented reality. She has exhibited in Belgium, Poland, China, Taiwan, and Italy, receiving awards including a Flanders’ Department of Culture, Youth & Media research grant (2024) and was a finalist in the COAL Prize (2023).
Jonathon Rosen
Jonathon Rosen is an animator, painter, and educator whose multimedia practice explores the shifting boundaries between humans and machines, the metaphysical, and the unconscious. His studio brings together analogue and digital processes to create imagery that echoes ancient symbolism, carnivalesque spectacle, and obsolete technologies while reimagining them through contemporary motion and illustration. Based just outside New York City, Rosen collaborates across animation, projection performance, and installation. He teaches animation, narrative color and history of anatomy and medical illustration at the School of Visual Arts and is a Part-Time Associate Teaching Professor at Parsons. Select clients include Sotheby’s Hong Kong, Tim Burton, MTV, and Scientific American. His work resides in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, and the Getty Research Institute.

Langley Anderson
Langley Anderson is a multidisciplinary artist from New Orleans, Louisiana, whose work bridges biological science and visual art. She holds an M.F.A. in Photography from Radford University and a B.A. in Studio Art from Trinity University. Focusing on the structures and patterns of the natural world, Langley often works with microscopic and overlooked forms. Her series Mutualism uses high-resolution microscopy and digital editing to create archival pigment prints that highlight anatomical detail while reinterpreting scale and color. Working across photography, printmaking, and mixed media, Langley aims to make the complexity and beauty of natural systems accessible and engaging. Her artworks have been exhibited internationally, including at the Forum de l’Hôtel de Ville in Lausanne, Decagon Gallery in Brooklyn, and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

Yas’ artworks investigate and inform scientific ideas, exploring evolutionary change, biological systems, and human impact on the environment. Her geology background provides a visual 3D framework that supports the structure of her art. Yas works across a wide range of media, including film, digital and analogue photography, illustration, X-ray, MRI, microscopy, and camera-less methods. Her work has been recognised internationally with numerous awards, including the 2021 Art of Neuroscience Award for Cognition IX, now on permanent display at the Netherlands Institute of Neurosciences, and the Quasi Quadro Land Air 4.0 Award in Italy. Yas has exhibited globally, collaborated with institutions including Tehran University of Art, Nottingham University, and the Australian National University, led workshops and lectures, and published several handmade books. Yas is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society in support of the Arts, manufacture and commerce.
