Aug 12th, 2007Currently residing in Porto, Portugal, Oscar is a 21 year old digital artist and graphic designer, who early started to get related to traditional forms of art and expression by influence of his grandfather, a traditional sculpturer. His further attachment to graffiti and street art open new horizons and helped him conceive new concepts and representations. Later, the fascination of posters and graphic design seen on the streets lead him to experiment modern ways of expression, such as digital art and design, and around March 2003, he was creating and experimenting abstract 3d art and conceptual digital art. Today, he is a member of the mega art collective, DepthCORE, for who great part of his digital art is produced for. Oscar is attending ESAD in Porto, studying graphic design and is also working freelance. Oscar gets inspiration by everything he sees on the streets. The urban influence is very present in his work. Apart from design and digital art, he also loves skateboarding, drawing, photography and cinema. Tools of trade: Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4d, Canon 400D

Jul 31st, 2007<strong>George A. Black</strong> is a creative, egocentric and perfectionist 19 years old boy born and raised in <strong>Milan, Italy</strong>. He completed his studies at the secondary school focusing on humanities, and he is going to attend a degree in graphic design. The rest of his life tilts-up in making art for both personal and commercial use and hanging with his friends. George has been developing his skills in digital-art for 4 years now, even if he loved to draw since he was a kid. He exhibited his first portfolio showcase <strong>DimacoDesign.com</strong> between 2003 and 2006, receiving many positive feedbacks and recognisments. Since 2001 George manages the online community <strong>OnePieceNet.com</strong>, reaching 3000+ subscribers to the services offered by the website. He worked closely to <strong>M122Arts</strong> during a summer-stage experience in 2005, and collaborated with them for some projects until 2006. In the mean time, he had the opportunity to meet well-known names in the advertising scene (<strong>Arnold World Wide Italy</strong>, <strong>MTV Nerwork</strong>, …) that contacted him for a brief interview, once seen his online portfolio. George believes <strong>art&design</strong> is the road he means to ride, and wishes to thank all the people that supported him during these years.

Jun 22nd, 2007Thanks for visiting my little page. I am a molecular biologist but sometimes I like to take pictures of seemingly arcane things that strike me as having something else to offer; a hidden nuance or pattern for example. My main passion is to find simple and reliable ways of identifying, weakening or preventing the return of cancer. In the age of cancer vaccines that I hope will be here soon, it will be possible to type and extract the essence of cancer directly at the lab bench. We will then give the stripped down material back to the patient so that malfunctioning proteins are quickly recognised by her immune system. The cancer cells that have resisted surgery or therapy will no longer be able to hide. We are fortunate that cancer cells may be making it easier for us by pinching off little bubbles of their cell surface that we call exosomes. Like the malfunctioning proteins that cancer cells have resurrected or corrupted, they have stolen the idea of exosome release from healthy cells. Normally the exosome system is used by our cells to communicate with one another. In contrast the cancer cells use the exosomes to confuse normal healthy processes, eject control proteins that might slow them down, and enlist surrounding normal cells as their helpers. But the exosomes also contain the cancer’s secrets and we can destroy them if we use this information properly. But we have a problem: how to collect them from the tiny amount of material collected by doctors? Currently methods are complex and time consuming; very little material is produced and it may have lost some of the malfunctioning proteins that we want the immune system to see. At the Atlantic Cancer Research Institute we have developed an approach to quickly collect exosome material that what we call XOSOMES or X0S0MES (XOs or X0s) directly from small amounts of cancer. The X0 approach is quick, easy and high yield: more material to test from smaller samples, and more vaccination opportunities. We can also decorate the X0s with additional parts of the cancer to control the patient’s immune response to the satisfaction of the doctor. Although their use as routine vaccine may be some way off, we are hoping that the X0 approach will soon help doctors in diagnosis and choice of treatment. The final application will be, of course, to use the cancer’s own evil to eradicate itself, creating its own nemesis. Because every cancer is different, the X0 approach will provide each patient with her own personal vaccine. That is why this is the X0S0ME page. I pray that we can make a difference. Thank you for all of your support, particularly my good mates Ben Felda, Phil Fensterer, Mike Braun, Matt Mills and BlaMo (Haralds) who have selflessly provided me with beautiful graphics as inspirational iconography and illustrations for my ideas during presentations.
