Info on participants:

Adam Chodzko’s multidisciplinary practice explores the real interactions and imagined possibilities of human behaviour as they are played out at the edges of culture, memory, and visibility.  Between ourselves: what are our limits of attention and energy? And (between the two of us)… how can we sleep? www.adamchodzko.com/

Bea McMahon is an artist based in Amsterdam. She is trying to make a technology of gesture as an endlessly deformable thing that can deliver all its information in one go. For instance a recent work Aftermath 2018 (shown at Bologna.cc, Amsterdam and Cave Gallery, Tokyo), was a performance that enacted the construction of a gesture that could rotate the idea of an horse.

Rebecca Ross: My work is concerned with the agency of images, media and data in processes of urban change with a focus on outdoor media and design as a knowledge practice. My major projects include London is Changing and Urban Pamphleteer. I am currently working on a manuscript about postcodes and cultures of addressing. Tweets @handsinmachines

Samantha Taylor uses sound recordings and live performance to explore social and historic lineage of mysticism, ritual and its part within cultural change in society.
