Rosalia Di Maggio (Sicily, 1984) is an artist and illustrator whose practice moves between painting, animation, illustration, and multimedia storytelling. Drawing on a background that spans Italy and Argentina, she combines traditional artistic languages with contemporary digital techniques.

In Where Light Is Born (2025), she uses rotoscope animation to breathe new life into an early twentieth-century image, transforming it into a seamless dreamlike loop. A retro-inspired female figure rests on a luminous crescent moon, generating stars from the darkness around her.

Suspended between nostalgia and digital innovation, the work reflects on light as a force that emerges from mystery. Through a poetic visual language, it invites contemplation, introspection, and the search for illumination within the unknown.

Konstantin von Sichart (Germany, 1989) is a visual artist working across animation, collage, painting and moving image. His practice explores perception, memory and psychological experience, blending handcrafted techniques with digital processes into layered visual ecosystems.

Planetary Nervous System (2026) is a seamless frame-by-frame animated loop composed of painted textures, collage and 2D animation. The work presents the human mind as both landscape and cosmos, where memories, fears and mental patterns are fragments of a much larger constellation.

Our nervous system insists that everything is urgent, yet beyond it stretches a silence where mountains, stars and bodies belong to the same continuous movement, inviting us to observe the mind with curiosity until its storms reveal the vastness from which they arise.

Tiziana Proietti is an artist, architect, researcher, and professor at the University of Oklahoma, where she directs the Sense|Base Laboratory. Her research investigates how people perceive proportion, form, and spatial relationships, bridging architecture, psychology, and visual perception through both scientific inquiry and artistic practice.

Constructed Perceptual Instability (2025) is a hand-drawn digital animation that explores the moment when geometric order opens to multiple possible interpretations.

Through gradual movement and layered architectural forms, the animation invites viewers to continuously rediscover space, revealing perception as an active and dynamic process rather than a fixed condition. The work highlights the subtle interplay between form, illusion, and observation, encouraging a deeper awareness of how we perceive the spaces around us.
