Pioneer Artists Group
/ Pioneers
ARTEO is working with an initial group of interdisciplinary artists whose work engages with environmental themes and scientific concepts. Through a hybrid residency with ARTEO these Pioneers are discovering and exploring the role of satellite Earth observation and related imagery and data in their work, At the same time, they are providing valuable feedback to help refine ARTEO's approach to providing artists with specialist support, tools and expertise. The group is participating in structured workshops as well as conducting their own open-ended artistic inquiry, and their emerging work with eventually be shared via ARTEO and its partners.

Luis Clara Gomes
Luis is a Lisbon-based DJ, musician, producer and visual artist, performing and recording under the name Moullinex. He thrives in intersections: science and art, spontaneity and formalism, organic and artificial, isolation and community. For him, this idea crystallized in music that can perfectly live within the boundaries of the dancefloor and still allow for deep introspection on headphones, from melancholic electronic textures to exuberant house and disco.
Luis has also worked as a researcher and data scientist in astronomy, and has an MSc in Brain Computer Interfaces. His obsession with science was the stepping stone into electronic music, and his previous explorations of art-science collaboration have also traversed themes across ocean, climate and neuroscience.

Eva Petrič
Eva is a transmedia artist who was first known for her creative use of photography, with which she explored the language of shadows and our existence on an ephemeral level. Her motivation to create spaces on different levels determined by atmosphere leads her to use a transmedia approach in her artistic practice.
She has created more than 30 large-scale site-specific installations based on assemblages of found and recycled lace interwoven with video, sound, smell, performance and choreographic movements. They were exhibited in various, mostly public spaces around the world. From February 2022 to January 2023, her Earthling Tattoo Seal was exhibited at the International Space Station as part of the MoonGallery art collection, where it was also part of scientific testing conducted by Nanoracks.
Eva especially has a keen interest on communicating science topics through art. In 2015 she invited to be the artist of the 2015 EGU conference in Vienna, Austria. And in the same year she took part at the lunar simulation mission at ESA ESTEC where she focused on the problem of combating feelings of isolation during space missions – out of this experience she developed concrete art projects and products.
She lives between New York, Vienna and Ljubljana and works with photography, video, sound, performance, scents and installations, which she interweaves on different levels.

Sock Baeus Redding
Sock Redding is a generative artist, interactive systems programmer, musician and multimedia creator who explores the line between artist, performer and curator.
Their work often combines photography, video and data as input, and produces non-representational, psychedelic visuals as output: information synthesis at its least useful.
They have collaborated with cutting-edge visual artists across Europe, created works for award-winning musicians, and exhibited their work at the Tate Modern in London.
