Martin Howse is occupied with an investigation of the links between
the earth (geophysical phenomena), software and the human psyche
(psychogeophysics) through the construction of experimental situations
(performance, laboratories, walks, and workshops), material art works
and texts.
Jamie Allen is a Canadian-born artist and scholar, who investigates what technologies teach us
about who we are as individuals, cultures and societies. He has been an electronics engineer,
a polymer chemist and an exhibition designer with the American Museum of Natural History.
Allen works, learns and teaches all over the world, with NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications
Program, the Pratt Institute of Art and Design, Hanyang University in Seoul, and the Royal
College of Art in London, amongst others. He likes to make things with his head and hands –
experiments into the material systems of media, electricity, and information as artworks,
designs, events, and writing. He attempts to recompose the institutions he works with in ways
that assert the importance of generosity, friendship, passion and love in knowledge practices
like art and research.
