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.

Professor John-Dylan Haynes is the director of the Berlin Center for Advanced Neuroimaging (BCAN) and professor at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) at Charité Berlin. With his research, the psychologist and neuroscientist contributes, among other things, to our understanding of mental states such as consciousness and intuition.
