Simon Weckert (*1989) is an artist and designer with his home base at the University of Art, Berlin. He likes to share knowledge on a wide range of fields from generative design to physical computing and implementation of media projects. His focus is the digital world – including everything related to code and electronics. With his love to new technologies he combines an understanding of visual, physical and interaction design with algorithmic, electronic and mechatronic knowledge. The reflection on current social aspects, ranging from technology oriented examinations to the discussion of current social issues, are always part of his work.

Lilian Nejatpour (*1994) has recently graduated with a BA in Fine Art and History of Art at Goldsmiths College in London. She is a British, Iranian artist concerned with technology as a mode of evolution that operates through our physical gestures and dialogue.

“It is becoming increasingly visible through overheard conservations that circle around technological invasiveness and sentimentality. I therefore questions how these two very distinct modes operate alongside each other and what problems arise when they are captured and re-situated in romantic conversation. I am delighted to be working with TADAEX & NODE in collaboration with Simon Weckert, to combine and uncover these technological methodologies further in the surroundings of both Iran and Germany.”
