Eugene Ostashevsky is a Russian-American poet and translator residing in New York City. His translations of Leonid Lipavsky and Osip Mandelstam appear in Infinite Instances.

He is the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to String Theory and is now working on a new book about quantum gravity.

Gadadhara Pandit Dasa is a monk, lecturer and the first-ever Hindu chaplain for Columbia University and New York University. He speaks at the nation’s leading universities, yoga studios, and retreat centers, inspiring audiences with India’s spiritual wisdom. His unique approach combines teachings of the ancient classic, Bhagavad-Gita, with popular Hollywood movies such as “The Matrix.” Pandit spoke at a recent TEDx conference at Columbia University and was featured in the NPR piece "Long Days and Short Nights of a Hindu Monk." He appeared in the PBS Documentary on the Bhagavad-Gita, as well as The New York Times. He is also a regular contributor for the Huffington Post. Pandit was born in Kanpur, India and moved to Los Angeles in 1980 as a child. After the collapse of his parents’ multi-million dollar family business, Pandit began to introspect on the deeper meaning and purpose of life which led him to join a monastery in India, in 1999. Today, he is an urban monk living in New York City and uses his life experiences, teachings of the Gita, mantra meditation, and vegetarian cooking to guide and encourage people to live more balanced and wholesome lives.

Camilla Torna graduated in History of Art at the University of Florence, Italy, with a paper on Pushpin Studios. Design Area Head at SACI Studio Art Centers International, she currently teaches Illustration, Graphic and Advertising Design. In 2006 she founded Icastic, a graphic design studio specialized in visualizing concept for presentations and merging infographics with an appropriate visual metaphor. The name icastic was inspired by the distinction drawn by Plato between the art of making likenesses of actual things (icastic mimesis) or of fantastic objects or beings (fantastic mimesis). Icastic hosts the collection of drawings (currently 325) answering the question: how do you SEE the passage of time?
