Thought Starters

​​Today things get a little spooky. We meet Tobias Revell and Natalie Kane, who together form Haunted Machines. ​Haunted Machines explores narratives of myth, magic and haunting around technology. They've recently participated in the Serpentine Galleries’ 24-hour event on artificial intelligence, machines and consciousness this year – called Guest, Host, Ghost – and most recently curated the Impakt festival 2017 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. ​​One the agenda: why we still haven’t shaken our industrial-era understanding of machines and technology, and the undeniable creepiness of Alexa.
