research phase II

Believing in the stories that come from inside the body, and the whole body as a landscape of feeling in a recurring and wider philosophical exploration, glo presents a research and processed-through living installation with choreographer lauri stallings () and glo moving artist Ashley Ianna Daye. The piece explores dissolving boundaries between interbeing and other biology, with movement language stallings’ calls “total feeling,” rooted in choreographic practice pushing at the edges of physical presence, thinking through and investigating the human body, with the body.

This durational activation invites artists and the public to experience stallings’ visceral layering, mapping, and movement composition in real time. This new overarching body of work investigates the interplay between spiritual transcendence (angels), social positions, and live art.

Experience the interactive installation Vulnerable Value at the soft opening of LOOP (.atl) this Saturday, June 6th.

Created by Noura Howell, Xingyu Li, Adamya Sharma and Marie Munk, Vulnerable Value presents a collaborative, research-based installation between Georgia Tech’s Future Feelings Lab and Wolfgang Gallery ().

Visitors are invited to explore an encounter in which expressions enter an unfamiliar kind of exchange. Moving between recognition and ambiguity, the installation suggests a more intimate, bodily transaction—one that invites reflection on what is given, what is taken, and how personal experience is translated within computational systems.

Vulnerable Value opens alongside WORMHOLE by Ishaan Jagyasi, Kyle Smith, Devon Green, and Ryan Baker, an installation investigating the relationship between planetary motion, spatial sound, and human interaction through responsive audio and light environments. The work features spherical loudspeakers, interactive audio/visuals, and an LED Wormhole.

Nunes’s work focuses on the intimacies of alternative relational structures and expands on stories of q***rness and neurodivergence where retellings of history are at risk for erasure. They hold a BFA from The School of Visual Arts and are an MFA candidate at the Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design at Georgia State University. Their piece “Excerpt from a Structure Found Whole When Subverted” melds urban environments and the Southeastern landscape to give visual weight to the experiences of a Southern Q***r diaspora.

▪️Annabelle Myo (slides 2 + 5) is an analog collage artist from Atlanta, Georgia. Primarily acquiring her source material secondhand, her work consists of found photography manipulated through hand cutting and tearing fragile papers. Inspired by the panopticon, their piece “untitled decollage” reflects on the modern surveillance state, exploring the unwavering feeling of being watched and its effects on behavior.

▪️clem (slides 3 + 6) is an Iranian-American portrait artist whose work emphasizes and brings awareness to contemporary social issues. Their main goal is to invoke emotion and remind others that we have the power to make change through our skills with community. Their piece “Muted Cries” reflects on the experience of using social media in the year 2025, with the ability to scroll through endless information and content, including reminders of what is happening to innocent humans caught in violent zones. clem believes we should not be able to mute these cries and continue our lives scrolling business as usual.

Introducing Gabi Madrid (.madrid.art), Texas Guinevere Norman (), and Constance Thalken (), 3 of the 33 artists featured in This is Now: a group show of art and resistance, opening May 29th at Goat Farm.

▪️Gabi Madrid (slides 1 + 3) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work reflects upon the human experience, focusing on themes of self-development, identity formation, and the unconscious. Madrid received their BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2019 and they are an MFA candidate at Georgia State University. Moving between installation and sculpture, Madrid invites the viewers to delve into the connections that bind us as individuals and as a society. Their sculpture “Two-Faced Serpent” is inspired by visions that emerge from the dream space. The creatures are forms to contemplate our own imaginations and projections. Madrid’s work also serves as a metaphor for one’s lived experience and encounters with the mystical, mythological, and monstrous.

▪️Texas Guinevere Norman (slides 2 + 5) is a q***r artist who strives to represent the challenges of being a q***r artist in their work. They show parts of themself and how they feel through the creatures they create. “Gaze” represents a change of body. It exists in-between. Not quite human, not quite animal, this new creature is neither and both.

▪️Constance Thalken (slides 3 + 6) is primarily a photographer who uses sound and video to explore her interest in the human experience within the natural world. She exhibits both nationally and internationally with photographs in the permanent collections of the High Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Birmingham Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, Yale University Library, and the Zuckerman Museum of Art. Thalken received her MFA from Yale University and is represented by Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta. In 2026 her monograph Heart of a Bird will be published by Stanley/Barker, London. Her piece “Exit Wounds #2” is in the show.
