Daniel O'Donoghue
Daniel O'Donoghue is both a philosopher and a photographer. In both capacities Daniel's central concern is an investigation of aesthetics. The work on display speaks of a meticulous, if not obsessive, attention to the interaction of detail and proportion.

Ollie Hulme
Ollie Hulme is a post-doctorate student studying both neuroesthetics and the neuroscience of visual consciousness. His work is mainly acrylic on canvas which he then electronically manipulates with Photoshop software.
Brigitte Grawe
Brigitte Grawe is a German freelance digital artist and librarian at the RWTH Aachen University. She has had a keen interest in neuroesthetics over the past three years and, as a consequence, knowledge she has acquired in this field has greatly influenced her own visual work. Brigitte had her first exhibit of such images at the RWTH Aachen University to great success and has since exhibited across Europe. Brigitte also publishes texts to several internet forums on subjects like Science and Art, visual perception, 'op-art' (which she has re-named 'braintertainment-art'), digital art and neuroesthetics.
Aleksandra Nika Smolińska
Nika's interest in neuroesthetics stems from her aim to capture mental character in her visual work. She views her creative process as that of body (receiver/transmitter) - brain (operator) and mental thought (product). She is also fascinated by the process of drawing and interpreting drawings. In November 2010 Nika established MIoCR (Mind Institute of Cosmobiological Research) at the Chatham Islands, New Zealand. Its main focus is the study of drawing in relation to the celestial bodies.
