Tulika Ahuja
Tulika Ahuja, also known as Mama Magnet, is a curator based in Amsterdam working across cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary artistic exchange. Her practice investigates entanglements between technology, nature, desire, and contemporary conditioning. Through curation, she seeks to deprogramme notions of “normal” and create space for self-reflexivity, with a current focus on animals in captivity, consumer culture, and human–animal relations.

Naomi van Dijck
Naomi van Dijck works across learning spaces, platforms, publications, exhibitions, and stories, with an interest in how forms of communication take shape. Her current project explores the history and future of interface culture, from skeuomorphic visual languages to machine-oriented systems that shape experience invisibly and individually. Her practice reflects on how interfaces organise what contemporary culture sees.

Jade Poolen
Jade Poolen is a curator whose practice focuses on contemporary art, online art, and post-internet aesthetics. She has worked as a curator in training at Museum Cobra and as junior curator at Museum Krona. Her research has moved from Sad Girl Theory, post-feminism, and Tumblr culture towards questions of spirituality and the internet, exploring how spiritual practices and imaginaries can exist online.

Mohamed Abdelkarim
Mohamed Abdelkarim is an artist and curator whose practice engages with media, technology, performativity, discursivity, and pedagogy. His work was recently presented at IMPAKT Festival 2026: Techno-Ancestrality, where he performed Blue Gaze at The Future. His current project, Mythostechnos, explores mythologies as spaces of mysticism, poetic friction, and alternative ways of being. Drawing on thinkers such as Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh, Federico Campagna, and Yuk Hui, he questions technological systems of control, instrumentality, and platformised existence.

Louisa Teichmann
Louisa Teichmann is a Rotterdam-based media artist, educator, and programme maker. Her practice is inspired by interactive fiction, geocaching, LARP, game mechanics, and DIY technology. She is interested in how interactive systems can question wider social dynamics. For Full Spectrum, she develops Who’s Sitting on the Remote Control?, a project that turns digital infrastructure in public space into exhibition space and medium.

Helin Özdemir
Helin Özdemir is a curator and visual artist based in the Netherlands. Her practice is grounded in collective memory, public space, and questions of belonging, with attention to how landscapes, bodies, and borders are framed as rooted or alien. Moving between fieldwork, material experimentation, and critical writing, she approaches research as a sensory act and form as a mode of argument.

Guus Voorham
Guus Voorham is developing a curatorial project on over-consumption, shame, and the body. Rather than approaching consumption as a moralistic theme, he turns to the digestive system as a site through which eating habits, social codes, and discomfort can be explored. His research is inspired in part by Aline de Bouvy’s work with anthropomorphised excrement and social shame.

Tom Jansen Klomp
Tom Jansen Klomp is completing his research master’s in Art and Performance Studies at the University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on video games and their social, political, and technological implications, including artistic interventions, game modifications, machinima, and art games. His current project examines the figure of the non-playable animal in relation to NPCs and histories of nonhuman subjugation.

Stella Tabachnikoff
Stella Tabachnikoff has a background in literature, postcolonial theory, and feminist art history. Her curatorial research explores agriculture as a site where humans, more-than-human ecologies, and technologies meet, while also being shaped by colonial histories and climate change. Her project asks how artistic and scientific practices might enter into dialogue around agricultural knowledge, ownership, and possible futures.

Anna Bouali
Anna Bouali is a curator and researcher of new media whose work explores shared experience, collective agency, and platform capitalism. Drawing on questions of imposed temporalities, predictive targeting, and algorithmic synchronisation, she proposes synchronicity as an alternative mode of relation. Her research engages with acausal connection, temporal misalignment, horizontal agency, and the possibilities of moving outside systematised rhythms.

Jasmijn T.E. Mol
Jasmijn T.E. Mol is a curator and writer working at the intersection of spirituality, critical theory, and contemporary art. Her research explores faith, religion, technology, and the digital environment. Inspired by thinkers and artists who approach technology as spiritual or alchemical rather than opposed to nature, her project investigates tech-mortality, asking how we might die, mourn, and remember in the digital future.

Ada Harpole
Ada Harpole is developing a project on platform media, cultural exchange, and the moderation and censorship of queer, femme, and sexual bodies. Her research grows from work in community archiving and performance, where she encountered counter-strategies of encryption, archiving, and embodied knowledge beyond platform custody. She asks who controls visibility in digitally mediated culture, and what this means for creative work.
