London Fieldworks, formed by Jo Joelson and Bruce Gilchrist, is a programme of creative research and collaboration at the intersection of art, science and technology and typically is engaged with the notion of ecology as a complex inter working of social, natural and technological worlds.
A recent project, Super Kingdom (an exhibition of animal/bird houses) commissioned by Stour Valley Arts was shortlisted for the Architects' Journal (AJ) Small Projects Awards for 2009.
Jo and Bruce have published in journal and conference papers, books and magazines. They have contributed to and participated in international symposia and workshops about their work. In addition to funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council they have received grants and awards from the Henry Moore Foundation, Scottish Arts Council, Lochaber Enterprise, Highland Council, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Arts Council England.

Susana Soares's work aims to develop collaborative relations between scientific research and design, with an outcome of creating systems and objects people can understand. She employs design as a tool to explore future technological implications for public engagement and awareness. Special areas of interest include biotechnology, genetics, nanotechnology and cybernetics and future implications on everyday life.
Susana has organised and participated in exhibitions, symposia and conferences on these subjects around Europe, including "Crossing over: exhibitions in art and biotechnologies" at the Royal Institution, London, in 2008. She has also won several design awards.
