Nora Bateson (Stockholm) is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and educator, as well as President and founder of the International Bateson Institute (Sweden). This research center aims at rethinking the fundamentals of science in the spirit of her father, anthropologist Gregory Bateson and her grandfather, geneticist William Bateson. Her work asks the question, “How we can improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?”
Eames Demetrios (Los Angeles) is the creator of Kcymaerxthaere, a parallel universe coexisting with our world. He is also the director of the Eames Office, which serves as the archives of legendary husband-and-wife design team Charles and Ray Eames, his grandparents.
