Robert Twomey is an MFA student at UCSD, where he is working on
projects with computers, painting, and sculpture. He is engaged
with issues of technology, biography, work and the body, and he is a
firm believer in multiplicity--keeping his practice open to multiple
kinds of work and multiple ways of getting at things. Prior to
UCSD, where he started in the fall of 2004, he spent his time drawing
and painting and working as a research assistant at a neuroimaging lab,
Georgetown's Center for the Study of Learning. He graduated from
Yale University in 2001, where he earned a BS, majoring in Visual Art
and Biomedical Engineering. His work is online at

Shannon Spanhake works at the intersection of
contemporary art, science, engineering, and urbanism. Her work takes
the form of public interventions, engineered organisms, and tangible
media installations. It investigates the transformative potential of
new technologies and reconfigured social ecologies to address issues
embedded within information politics, popular culture, and
geographic/cultural territory. An important part of Spanhake’s artistic
strategy is to enable public discourse by providing access to
information through the development of alternate modes of articulation
in the production of knowledge.
Spanhake has recently been nominated for the Emerging Designer Award
for 2005 through Rhode Island School of Design and is a recent
recipient of a funding grant through the Center for Humanities. She has
recently exhibited her work at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the MCA
in San Diego, in addition to galleries around the US and
internationally. She began her studies with a B.S. with honors in
Electrical Engineering at Drexel University, Philadelphia PA, and went
on to receive a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
She is currently working towards her M.F.A. at the University of
California, San Diego where she is a research assistant in both Milton
Saier’s molecular biology lab and in Ricardo Dominguez, B.A.N.G lab at
CalIT2. Spanhake also co-founded Lui Velazaquez, a research center in
Tijuana, Baja Mexico and is also the founder of the collective DoEAT,
Inc.

Davina Semo works between installation, film, drawing, and writing, to
explore the inner worlds and hearts of teenage girls, their friends,
and the changing and scary world they live in. Storytelling is used as
the organizing presence of the work. Story as opposed to
narrative, allowing for a queer, non-linear entry-point into how the
rational mind turns to the unconscious mind in moments of urgency or
panic. Davina’s work is assembled in such a way as to provide a
structured improvisation between the audience and the work, wherein the
audience is part viewer, part explorer, part voyeur, and part
accomplice.
Davina Semo is a writer, filmmaker, and mixed-media artist. Born
in Washington, DC, Davina is currently pursuing her MFA in Visual Arts
at the University of California, San Diego. She received a BA in
Visual Arts and Creative Writing at Brown University in 2003. She
has exhibited in Providence (RI), San Diego (CA), Los Angeles (CA), New
York City, and Tijuana (Mexico).
