Mary Flanagan’s work pushes on the anxious and profound relationship between playful, ofttimes technological systems and human experience, exploring how our data, and rule systems, and context of play represent human desire. Her artwork ranges from game-based installations to computer viruses, embodied interfaces to interactive texts; these works are exhibited internationally at venues including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Guggenheim, Tate Britain, Postmasters and more. She founded the award winning design research laboratory Tiltfactor and the publishing company Resonym, and is currently the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor in Digital Humanities at Dartmouth College.

Daniel Temkin is the founder of esoteric.codes, which builds resources for esolangers, the hacker/hobbyists and artists who invent programming languages as an expressive medium. Temkin received a BA in Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin, and an MFA in Advanced Photographic Studies at the International Center of Photography/Bard College. He has presented on esolangs at SXSW, SIGGRAPH, and Media Art Histories, and published with MIT Press, Media-N, and the ICP. Esoteric.codes was awarded The 2014 Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant.
