Lily Reeves's work looks at the epistemology of the sacred throughout history and into postmodernity. She incorporates spiritual ideologies alongside existential philosophy in her work to ratify ideas and interactions between the mind, body, and spirit.

Craig Smith is an American media artist whose art and research focuses on the process, aesthetics, and ethics of human‐to‐human interactivity in contemporary art, especially photography, sound, and socially engaged performances. Smith’s research – based practice can be produced in innumerable locations because of its effort to combine the history of a particular site with its everyday use, its population, and the context of how such a population occupies a named ‘site.’ Site and its inherent operations become inclusive formal elements in that they make specific and incredible encounters possible for the viewer.

During his residency at Elsewhere, Smith created #NCTRIAD.

My name is the gentleman with itchy legs, and I am Tim Fite's former roommate. Tim asked me to write this artist statement, because he is too chicken shit to write his own statement, and he thinks we are friends. We are not friends. He was counting on me to write nice things about his art and music, and talk about how he makes work that can be angry and funny at the same time - maybe even invite you to check out timfite.com - I'm not going to do that. I am just going to make believe that I am doing that, and submit this half-assed statement as is. Joke's on you, Tim Fite. Get a job!
