Tony Lee is a 3D designer and artist. His influences include movies, video games, virtual and augmented reality, motion-graphics and visual effects. Tony Lee’s work focuses on producing works that embody the connected energy and movement between humans and their sense of place. He sets up systems of creating musically-generated visuals from fragments and patterns in his imagination and his memory. Tony currently lives and works in his hometown of Township of Washington, in Bergen County, New Jerse.

Edwin Blanco is an architect based in Pentagon City in Arlington, Virginia. Former classmate and roommate of Tony Lee, he and Tony have shared their passions of movies, music and architectural design, often theorizing on concepts of human reflection and existentialism. He has named his work, “Fairytales”, a series of compositions that blend his polished illustrating techniques, with vibrant and colorful digital painting. Edwin is a devoted husband and father.

The Wabi Sabi Society is an evolving collection of passionate creatives that organizes pop up performances, movement experiments, and interactive dance experiences around the Washington D.C. area, founded by Jamie Garcia at the beginning of 2018. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese way of life focusing on the acknowledgement and appreciation of the “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.” Thus the Wabi-Sabi Society produces artistic experiences rooted in this philosophy. Their performances and compositions are brief moments that captivate the senses, trigger one’s curiosity, and help discover/develop one’s creative identity. Each is never without flaws and impossible to repeat, embodying the essence of wabi-sabi.
