Total Running Time explores temporalities of care, abstracting the halted rhythms of the day and strictly controlled
telecommunications for incarcerated people. Scrambled text, interrupted messages, light without the sun: Sales uses these gestures of disrupted social and sensorial experience to interrogate the material entanglements between incarceration, disabled life, labor, and the extraction of time. Josephine Sales works with systems of reliance and acts of contingency to consider how disability may expand our relational capacity. Engaging perceptual conditions of access, Sales creates site-specific installations based in cinema, sculpture, sound, and performance. The artist's work has been presented at Palais de Tokyo, The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Kai Matsumiya, New York and The Shed. Fellowships include CripTech Incubator at Leonardo/ISAST (2021-2023) and Black Box Projects at University of
California Irvine Beall Center for Art + Technology (2022-2023). Sales received an MFA in Photography from Milton Avery School of the Arts, Bard College and lives and works in New York City.

Tiare Ribeaux, is a Kanaka 'Ōiwi filmmaker, artist and creative producer based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. Her work involves a magical realist exploration of spirituality, labour, and the natural environment, drawing upon the structure of dreamworlds and Hawaiian cosmology to critique both social and ecological imbalances.

Her films use visual narrative storytelling and components of speculative fiction and fantasy to reimagine both our present realities and future trajectories of lineage, queerness, place and belonging. Her work often combines with installation elements to create immersive and expanded media experiences. As a curator and producer, she founded B4BEL4B Gallery in 2014 as a platform and community space to prioritize underrepresented + queer artists in media arts, where she was the artistic director for 8 years. She co-founded REFRESH Art, Science, and Technology in 2017, curated the Soundwave Biennial in San Francisco in 2016, and was artistic director for the CODAME Festival in 2015.
