Esme has recently graduated from the University of Bristol with a degree in Engineering Mathematics. While studying she has explored how one can build small scale non-commercial A.I. systems for ethical uses such as locating attacks in war zones. Esme is interested in confronting the notion that these systems are inaccessible and out of our control and wishes to align this technology with more socially conscious aims.

While studying Art and Design BA at the University of Leeds, Marcus has become interested in speculative design practice as a way to rethink relationships with the more-than-human world. These projects are materially driven by wood, aiming to investigate how its associated crafts may play a part in building a more ecologically conscious world.
