- Ashley Bickerton: I made films all through art school, in fact the only time I ever didn't want to be an artist was in art school. I made films and wrote poetry. And it came down to when I got out of art school what exactly I wanted to be and I decided ultimately against film because I couldn't deal with people. It's that simple. So, I realized that- whereas art you can deal with people as much as you want. If you get lonely you can change your work a bit. That's the thing we have the option to do as artists. In a way we're very lucky. We get to change our work to deal with whatever the heck we want to deal with and however many people we want to deal with. If we want to make it expansive as far as the amount of humans we contact we can, or we can make it utterly hermetic and stay away so you just design it according to your needs.
- Tishan Hsu: I'm interested in trying to deal with the body, or sense of body, through the context of media, technology, information and what the quality of those things is.
- Nayland Blake: A lot of this work came out of an attempt to almost provoke a collision in the mind of the viewer between what you are told about a piece and what you actually see in front of you. So that you are told what a substance is and then sort of confronted with the visceral nature of that substance.
