Vivian Charlesworth's objects and immersive environments create a space for physical interplay between the viewer and the artwork. Each piece fosters a sensation of stepping into the middle of a story. In order to make the viewer aware of their own gaze, Charlesworth immerses them within fragmented narratives that ask to be reassembled. Each viewer creates their own story based on the information they choose to process and engage with. She inserts the viewer into the position of explorer, bystander or spy, challenging them to interrogate and confront their own presumptions about narrative.

During her residency at Elsewhere, Charlesworth created Repository.

Edek Sher earned an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2016 and a BA from Kenyon College in 2013. Sher's work focuses on the individual's creative role when confronted with faceless corporations and abstractions like climate change and mass surveillance. Blending his interest in literature, electronic media, and internet subcultures, Sher creates experimental music and multi-channel video installations that seek to overwhelm the viewer.

During his residency at Elsewhere, Sher created Repository.
