‘Cyborg Scooter’ emerged from an encounter with an e-scooter that had been dredged from the river Tejo in Lisbon adorned with the vestiges of marine life.

Cátia Sá, a musician,singer producer, and poet based in Lisbon; Erica Jewell, a multidisciplinary artist also based in Lisbon; and So Kanno, a robot artist based in Berlin/Aichi were brought together by this artifact and their shared interest in its representation of the lifecycle of our technological companions, their unintended impact on natural environments, and their narratives beyond utility.

A futuristic expatriate American Space Ranger combines wearable computing, midi guitar, and live energy to wander the digi-range as a robotcowboy playing for dying astronauts. This is a lofi-guitar-compu-show with algorithmic balls from a DEVOspud, laptop-stomping idiot wearing exposed electronics.

Daniel's interests cover issues of governance, accountability and ethics in forms of science, technology and organisation. He draw on ideas from ethnomethodology, science and technology studies (in particular forms of radical and reflexive scepticism, constructivism, Actor-Network Theory and the recent STS turn to markets and other forms of organising). His research is ethnographic in orientation. In particular he is interested in the question of how entities (objects, values, relationships, processes and also people) become of the world.

Daniel Turing (not related to Alan), born 1976, lives and works in Weimar and wherever there's electricity. He ponders questions of

humans and computers. His output consists mostly of (open-source)
software, occasionally interspersed with interactive installations or
endeavours into more traditional media.

Dasha Ilina is a Russian techno-critical artist based in Paris, France. Through the employment of low-tech and DIY approaches her work highlights the nebulous relationship between our desire to incorporate modern technologies into our daily lives and proposed social imperatives for care of oneself and others. Her practice engages the public in order to facilitate a space for the development of critical thought regarding our modern day relationships, privacy in the digital age, and the reflexive contemporary desire to turn to technology for answers.
