Tobie Kerridge

Tobie is a PhD candidate in the Department of Design at Goldsmiths, University of London. He has worked as a researcher on projects supported by the EPSRC, France Telecom, Intel and Philips Design. His thesis reflects upon the novel contributions of speculative design as a method for public engagement with science and technology, in projects including Biojewellery and Material Beliefs. These projects have been exhibited internationally, including MoMA, New York and the Science Gallery, Dublin. Tobie graduated from Interaction Design MA at the Royal College of Art in 2003, and previously read English literature and Fine Art at Oxford Brookes University. He is a visiting lecturer at Goldsmiths and the Royal College of Art, and an honorary Research Fellow at Edinburgh College of Art.

Sarah Pennington

Prior to her involvement with the Legible Landscapes project at Goldsmiths, Sarah was a Research Fellow in the Interaction Design Studio at the Royal College of Art. She was a tutor on the MA Interaction Design course at the RCA, as well as lecturing and collaborating on research projects for other institutions such Glasgow School of Art, Imperial College London, Interaction Institute Ivrea as well as within the Interaction Design industry. Sarah studied Fine Art Photography and has also worked in exhibition curation.

Alex Wilkie

Alex is a Lecturer and Research Fellow in the Interaction Research Studio. He completed a sociological Ph.D. thesis in 2010 written as an ethnographic study of user-centered design practice and the figuring of multiple users therein. The thesis explores how users are figuratively and materially assembled through professional design practices and is a contribution to user studies in Science and Technology Studies (STS) as well as ethnographic studies of design. Presently, Alex’s research interests, played out through writing, studio activities and teaching, lie at the intersections of STS, most notably developments in Actor-Network Theory, and design practice where he is interested in inventive research methods, issue-related design as well as public engagement and energy practices related to the environment. Alex also holds a Masters Degree in Computer Related Design from the Royal College of Art.
