A.A. Dowd
The Film Editor of the A.V. Club, and former Head Film Writer for
Time Out Chicago, this unrepentant film junkie has had many stops along the way. Before Time Out Chicago, he was the Chief Staff Critic at
In Review Online, and has also maintained his personal blog
Wild Lines since 2007. Few critics offer such insightful and mind opening reviews while still having a firm grasp on what makes movies a truly enjoyable experience. In his own words "Movies and language are my passions. I encourage feedback and relish debate. I will write for food or best offer."
Mike Nudelman
Artist driven by impulse to draw and quest to better understand how he relates to the natural and digital environments he inhabits. His process is twofold, combining disciplined and labor-intensive techniques with a conceptual engagement rooted in romantic notions of technological advancement, mediation and popular culture. His bodies of work are a series of related meditations on artificiality and its potential to be beautiful and life-affirming.
