Sanity
AI is evolving fast but its real power isn’t about replacing humans, it’s about amplifying us. The next wave of breakthroughs won’t come from machines that “do it all,” but from systems that help us express what we mean, uncover hidden gaps, and sharpen ideas until they’re crystal clear. Imagine AI as your most precise collaborator: one that makes your intent stronger, your work smoother, and your outcomes more trustworthy.

Bjørn Staal our artist in residence
Bjørn Staal is an artist and software developer based in Oslo, Norway.
His work explores the dynamic interactions between computational systems, human perception & behavior. With more than a decade of experience in multidisciplinary design and software development, Staal co-founded the experimental art and design studio Void in 2015. Focused mainly on the development of large-scale interactive installations, Void has gained international recognition for its work at the intersection of design, architecture, technology, and art.
Since leaving the studio in 2023, Bjørn has focused on his own artistic practice, exploring how algorithms can enrich our understanding of what it means to be human in an age where more and more of our agency is being outsourced. Staal’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, as part of online and physical exhibitions as well as installations in public spaces. In September 2024, Staal had his first solo exhibition at Wintercircus in Ghent, Belgium.
A soundtrack by iconic global DJs
We will have Mona Matsuoka as a main DJ at our party. As former international model, she brings her high-fashion pedigree to the decks. A winning mix of Japanese and American heritage, Mona appeals to a broad spectrum of cultures, weaving seamlessly through the arts of fashion and music.
Before becoming a sought-after DJ, Mona debuted by walking for the likes of Chanel, Miu Miu, Dior, and Gucci. She has graced the pages of POP, Vogue Japan, and Dazed, and has appeared in campaigns for leading fashion brands such as Kenzo, Diesel, Swarovski, Nike, Adidas by Stella McCartney, and most recently Vince and Gucci.
Her DJ career has proven as prolific as her modeling career. Since her debut four years ago, Mona has mastered an array of genres and venues. She has performed at Surf Lodge, Nebula, Elsewhere and for brands such as Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Paco Rabanne, Audemars Piguet, and Valentino around the world. In addition, Mona has played alongside prominent musical artists and DJs such as Blondish, Diplo, Chloe Caillet, and Honey Dijon, among others.
Difee is a long-time frontrunner in the Norwegian club scene and a key figure in the recent rise of Drum & Bass in Norway. Known for bringing the genre to new audiences across the country, he's helped establish D&B as a vital part of the Norwegian electronic music landscape.
With electrifying performances at major events like RFM Somnii in Portugal, multiple Palmesus festivals, and Vulkan Arena in Oslo, Difee's sound is a bold fusion of Drum & Bass, rock influences, and heavy electronic bass music. His style is energetic, creative, and melodic—driven by catchy hooks, powerful basslines, and high-octane drums.
Over the years, Difee's productions have ventured across various styles of bass music, showcasing his versatility. Having found his true home in Drum & Bass, he's since released music on international labels and earned recognition from top artists within the genre. Difee's journey is just beginning, and he's an artist to watch as he continues to shape the future of Drum & Bass in Norway and beyond.
