Hyphen-Labs is an international team of women of color working at the intersection of technology, art, and science. Its focus is on engaging with current societal discourses and scientific issues as well as technological developments. Founded in 2014 by the Mexican-American engineer Carmen Aguilar y Wedge and the Turkish architect Ece Tankal, the studio has collaborated with psychologists, programmers, artists, and scientists ever since. For PushMi PullYu, the artists collaborated with Dr. Mary Katherine Heinrich, swarm researcher and expert on artificial intelligence systems, who was responsible for the programming, and the IT studio Kai Lab, which hacked the Roombas using their own homemade hardware that sits on the machines like a crown.
