Deschenes has stated that she seeks to "enable the viewer to see the inconstancy of the conditions of display, which are always at play but sometimes hard to see." Her practice is not bound to a single technology, method, process, or subject, but to the fundamental elements of photography, such as light, paper, chemistry, and time.

Orchard was an artist-run exhibition and event space located at 47 Orchard Street in New York's Lower East Side from 2005-2008. The gallery was run as a for-profit limited liability corporation founded for the project. The partners included artists, filmmakers, critics, art historians, and curators. Orchard was among early contemporary art projects and galleries that moved onto Orchard and generally the Lower East Side below Delancey Street along with Miguel Abreu Gallery, Reena Spaulings, and Scorched Earth. Brandon Joseph noted, "the Orchard 'project' treaded a fine—and perhaps ultimately impossible—line between self-reflexivity and self-complicity, which could veer at times into self-promotion."

Jean-Luc Moulène is a French contemporary artist based in Paris, France. Spanning a wide variety of media, such as photography, drawings, and sculptures, Moulène's practice examines the relationship between systems and orders. Moulène has stated that he subscribes to the notion of a 'disjunction,' whereby he follows a principle of discrepancies as a way to "find new dialectical knowledge." His interests include the "symbolic position of the author" and authorship; processes of production, repetition, and accumulation; labor and social space; and the intersection of advanced technology and contemporary material culture, among others. Moulène identifies himself as a "technicien libertaire", who transforms "the process of perception as an aesthetic end in itself to one that incorporates everyday life" in his work.
Rochelle Goldberg is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Vancouver and Berlin. Goldberg is best known for her sculptural works that challenge the fixity of the art object. Composed of living, ephemeral, and synthetic materials, ranging from chia seeds, oil, to ceramic, Goldberg's works are structured by "the logic of intraction," the artist's phrase for "an unruly set of relations in which the boundary between one entity is another is continually undermined." In her practice, intraction unfolds on both levels of form and content, rendering her sculptures "ontologically unreliable" and questioning "the distinction between living form and inert matter" through contact and permeation. At the same time, vision as "the privileged mode of access to knowledge" is cast into crisis.
