Zach Lieberman is an artist with a simple goal: he wants you surprised. His work uses technology in a playful way to break down the fragile boundary between the visible and the invisible. He has held residencies at Ars Electronica Futurelab, Eyebeam, Dance Theater Workshop, and the Hangar Center for the Arts in Barcelona, and his work has been exhibited around the world. In addition to making artistic projects, Lieberman is co-creator of openFrameworks, an open source C++ toolkit for creative coding. He is also co-founder of the School for Poetic Computation in New York.
Oscar Schwartz is a writer and researcher based in New York City. He is interested in how technology interacts with our social, cultural and emotional experience of the world. Previously, he was a doctoral researcher at Monash University, where he earned a PhD for a thesis unconvering the history of machines that write literature.
Currently, he is writing a book about what it feels like to be replaced by machines as workers, carers, companions, decision-makers, or as a species (forthcoming from Scribe, 2019).
