Force Majeure
Force Majeure is a collaborative choral art platform initiated in 2012 by curator/artist Mary Cork. The platform takes its structure from that of a community choir, working with singers from various professional and creative backgrounds on a project-by-project basis. Members of the choir, though not fixed, are often artists or singers working with the medium of sound in alternative ways. Force Majeure produces new projects through collaborative workshops and rehearsals which include people from a variety of creative backgrounds, including artists, composers, curators, choreographers, costume designers, architects. The sounds produced by Force Majeure are abstract and onomatopoeic and at times sourced from traditional music, with a focus on interpreting natural and mechanical sounds through the human voice. Force Majeure is interested in the way that these sounds, when layered, build a unique soundscape that captures the essence of the topic being explored, creating shape, or the sense of something tangible with layered and textured

Rosa Ainley
Rosa Ainley is a writer and text-based artist with a background in architecture and photography.

With degrees in literature and photographic studies, her practice has extended in the last few years into digital writing, using image and sound as well as words. Her specialism is space, buildings and architecture – she is passionate about the stories that buildings tell us and how the social, political and personal narratives are inscribed on to architecture and spaces: the stories of our lives. She is currently studying for a Phd in the Architecture Department at the Royal College of Art. Other current projects include a project for Guy’s Hospital Arts Programme, continuing investigations into digital writing; and ‘audio-architecture’, and researching a new book. She is also a professional editor of contemporary art and architecture books and worked with leading schools, practices, publishers and individual artists and architects in the UK and internationally. Pieces of her work have been selected as highlights in Architecture Week and she received a commendation for her work on Leysdown Rose-tinted in the Royal Society of Public Health Arts and Health awards.
S. Mark Gubb
S Mark Gubb (b.1974) lives and works in Cardiff. Born and raised near Margate, Kent, he works across a range of media incorporating sculpture, video, sound, installation and performance. The subjects for his work are drawn from the social and political culture he grew up in; an equal fascination with things he finds so great and so terrible about the world. This often takes the form of a re-evaluation and re-interpretation of contemporary culture and history, provoking us to consider our contribution to the world we live in. His work has been widely exhibited in solo and group exhibitions including Turner Contemporary (Margate), Dublin Contemporary, Aspex Gallery (Portsmouth), Postmasters Gallery (NYC), Matthew Bown Gallery (Berlin), Mostyn (Llandudno), Ceri Hand Gallery (Liverpool/London), Castlefield Gallery (Manchester), ICA (London) and PS1 MoMA (NYC). Permanent public works include commissions for Grizedale Arts, Nottingham Contemporary, Aspex Gallery (Portsmouth) and The Welsh Assembly Government.
The ARKA Group
The ARKA Group is a collaboration between Ben Jeans Houghton & Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau, producing films, sculptures and sound works about the stranger fringes of scientific and philosophical thought. The ARKA Group collaborates with emphatic individuals from various disciplines and institutions relevant to the subject of each new work. ARKA films often subsume and manipulate the subject specific language of the ideas they investigate through the use of fictive protagonists and narrative voiceover. Recently, The ARKA Group have been making interactive installations that dismantle cinematic ideas and methodologies; replacing moving image with audio narratives that play out in darkness, employing the viewer's imagination as the producer of the visual element of the work.
