Deaf Anthropologist is the project of Gaetano Rago, a Hamburg-based sound artist with a background in interdisciplinary anthropology. With a lifelong condition of sensorineural hearing loss, Rago explores how auditory perception shapes reality, and his work frequently centers on auditory pareidolia, the tension between familiarity and estrangement, and the dynamics of immersion and dispersion. He has collaborated with dancers, designers, and installation artists in a range of contexts.

Jerry Lim is a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and visual artist focused on guitar and kayagum. His practice spans experimental music performance and improvisation, often centered around custom-built microtonal instruments and altered tuning systems. In addition to his musical work, Lim is also active as a visual artist, primarily working in photography.
