Wesley Goatley is a Acting Programme Director of Interaction Design and Visual Communication at London College of Communication. Wesley is a critical artist and researcher based in London, UK. His work examines Artificial Intelligence technologies and their relations to society, geopolitics, and the climate crisis, and how art practice can intervene and explore these tools and topics.

Eva Verhoeven works at the intersection between design, art, research and teaching in interdisciplinary ways. She lives in London and works as a programme director for Creative Computing & Robotics (UG) at the Creative Computing Institute, UAL. Eva uses critical and creative practice to investigate contemporary issues at the interface of ecological, political and technical systems. Eva integrates theory and practice and her research outputs take the form of installations, publications, performances and curatorial projects. She is engaged in challenging the research/teaching/KE nexus and works in student centred ways and with posthuman approaches.

Murad Khan is Course Leader and Senior Lecturer on the Diploma and Graduate Diploma in Creative Computing at the CCI. His research explores the function and breakdown of predictive models in human cognition and machine learning systems, focusing particularly on contemporary research in cognitive neuroscience (predictive processing), studies of perception and adversarial machine learning to outline a philosophy of noise and uncertainty in the development of predictive systems. He has presented his research at Unsound Festival, Serpentine Galleries, and the Goethe-Institut as well as publishing in eflux and Stages Journal. His collaborative practice with artist and programmer Martin Disley explores states of speculation and incoherence in computational systems through audio signal processing, digital sculpture and machine learning models.

Shinji Toya (he/him) is a digital artist based in London. His practice is based on digital image-making and operates as critical generative art. Shinji’s practice often incorporates diverse methods such as video, image manipulation, web programming, artificial intelligence (computer vision), participation, and painting. His recent projects focus on mobilising the notion of decay to make visible the materiality of digital technology and the environmental degradation it induces.
He has presented his art projects at The V&A South Kensington, Ars Electronica, Tate Britain, Royal Academy of Arts (UK), arebyte Gallery, Watermans and Fotomuseum Winterthur. In 2023, he was awarded Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice grant. He is an Associate Lecturer on MA Art and Science, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and a Fellow of Advance HE.

Mariana Marangoni is a Brazilian artist, researcher, and educator based in London. Through a wide range of media such as installations, web-based experiments and visual poetry, Mariana critically explores the materiality of media and the aesthetics of decay. Recent work has been focused on multilingual programming languages and unconventional computational paradigms for an increasingly exhausted planet.
She is currently a PhD student at UAL Creative Computing Institute and works as a Lecturer and Year Leader for the BA FA Computational Arts program at Camberwell College of Arts. Amongst others, has been featured internationally at the Victoria and Albert Museum, National Poetry Gallery, Platform POST, Ars Electronica, MESH Festival, Transmediale and Rhizome.org.

I am a performance and process led artist exploring technology through participatory practices. My work frequently manifests as participatory, event based, performance led ‘scenarios’ that attempt to foster critical reflections towards digital materiality through situated and embodied acts. Informed by feminist techno-science, I am interested in how participatory practices can imagine a more equitable co-existence and how community based cultural practice can address the environmental impact of digital technology.
I am pathway leader for MA Fine Art Computational Arts at Camberwell College of Arts, University Arts London. My work has been shown internationally at Ars Electronica, Art Rotterdam and Neon Digital Arts Festival. I have collaborated with media arts organizations such as The Patching Zone (NL), V2 Lab for the Unstable Media (NL), Furtherfield (UK) and The Institute of Network Cultures (NL).

Nella Piatek is a critical designer, researcher and cyberwitch challenging the evolution of the human in conjunction with digital technology, along with the implications and values that this entanglement conjures. Their practice is a multimedia chronicle of a coven, materialised through performances, films and haunted operated systems. Through the lens of ecofeminism, cyberfeminism, and post-humanism, they meditate on contemporary myths around archives, impermanence and hauntology.
Nella is also an academic at Goldsmiths University and University of the Arts London, and artist exhibited internationally at various exhibitions, festivals, and conferences including The Photographers’ Gallery (UK), Ars Electronica (AT) and Oddstream Gallery (NL).

Melissa Schwarz is a German interdisciplinary artist, designer and researcher, based in London. Her research and practice is mainly concerned with topics around ecology, environments and speculative futures. As such she examines socio-political narratives, nature concepts and multiverse theories. She creates work which uses different media for her poetic storytelling, from more traditional mediums to 3D.
Melissa is an Associate Lecturer at The University of the Arts London, teaching on MA Interaction Design at LCC as well as in the Department of Critical and Historical Studies at LCF. She is also an Associate Lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London on MA Design Expanded Practice.
