Dr. Merritt Moore is a Oxford PhD in Atomic and Laser Physics, Adjunct Professor and Research Scientist at NYU Abu Dhabi. And a professional ballet dancer with Ballet de l’Opera de Nice.

During the pandemic, Moore brought her passions together to dance with robots she programmed. Her Robot/Human choreographies has been shown at Davos, Forbes Women's Summit, WORLD.MINDS in Belgrade, Switzerland, Germany, Mexico, France, Romania, USA and more.

This led to collaborations with Louis Vuitton and features in TIME, Financial Times Vogue, BBC and a coveted spot on Forbes 30 under 30. Merritt was one of the 12 candidates selected to undergo rigorous astronaut training on BBC Two "Astronauts: Do you have what it takes?", and she was down to the final 16 artists selected for the DearMoon project, which aimed to travel around the moon on SpaceX’s Starship. Her work explores human-machine interaction, quantum mechanics.

Frankie Boyle is an experiential artist and creative director whose primary medium is light. Connecting sensory design, neuroscience and human behaviour, she creates spaces that communicate through all senses, below consciousness awareness.

Frankie doesn’t just design for emotional impact, but for the whole gamut of human interaction: Her spaces shape how the people inside them connect, how they engage, how they remember. She believes that the wellbeing crisis of our time sits within a crisis of the physical environment: people are hungry for spaces that foster genuine presence, and designing for the nervous system is one of the most powerful things we can do to foster connection.

Growing up with Developmental Language Disorder, dyslexia and ADHD, Frankie's first language was light. This heightened sensitivity to how sensory environments shape human experience.

Clients include Samsung, Tiffany, Burberry and Magnum. Permanent works at Bristol Beacon and soon to be Canary Wharf and Ciro. Speaker at Google, Dubai International Lighting Summit and MK Illuminations Austria.

Francesca Hogi’s work is built on a single counterintuitive premise: true love is
about finding the right person, but becoming the right person. It’s not random, but emerges from a relationship of unconditional respect, emotional and physical intimacy, safety, adoration and joy. Love is an action, not a feeling.

A former corporate attorney, Hogi's transition to human connection work began with personal study in dating and partnership. After appearing twice on Survivor, an experience that confirmed she cannot help but be true to herself even at significant cost, she trained formally as a matchmaker.

Her methodology centres on the conviction that people are the blueprint for the relationships they co-create; True love is an inside job. She distilled this into her book How to Find True Love: Unlock Your Romantic Flow and Create Lasting Relationships (Hachette) and FRANNY, an app helping people map and develop their romantic energy. Her two TED talks on flirting and true love have garnered 2.2M+ combined views.

Angus Hervey is a solutions journalist and founder of Fix The News, one of the world's leading platforms for evidence-based reporting on global progress. For more than a decade, he has documented measurable gains in public health, energy, conservation and living standards that mainstream media consistently overlooks. Fix The News reaches over 80,000 readers across 195 countries and directs 30 percent of its revenue to small charities working directly on the problems it reports.

Reading hundreds of sources weekly for ten years builds a particular instinct for which ideas and projects are real and which are noise. It's why TED comes to him repeatedly: Hervey has appeared on their main stage four years running, both as speaker and curator, surfacing people and ideas before they break through. His argument is straightforward: the world is getting better in measurable ways, and almost no one is telling that story.

niceaunties is a Singapore-based artist who uses the figure of the "auntie" as a lens for social commentary. Across Asia, the auntie is a loaded archetype: simultaneously revered and dismissed, central to community life yet coded as outdated, opinionated. Auntieverse, her ongoing world-building project, takes that figure and places her at the centre of surreal settings, speculative cities and imagined ecologies to explore themes of body image, consumerism, community and environmental change, engaging through satire and speculative fiction.

niceaunties trained as an architect and deploys spatial thinking, systemic perspective and world-building as an argumentative mode.

Her work has been presented internationally at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, the V&A in London, and the AI Action Summit at the Grand Palais in Paris. In 2024, she presented Auntieverse in a TED Talk in Vancouver and her work has been featured in Forbes, The Guardian and The Straits Times.

David Sheldrick is an artist and filmmaker at the frontier of the emerging post-photographic movement with a background in fashion photography (London Fashion Week, Vogue, GQ, Burberry).

Sheldrick was an early pioneer in applying generative methods to high art, exploring the nascent medium's potential to reshape authorship, memory and visual culture. Prior to the mainstream advent of GenAI, he partnered with with leading curators The Fellowship and Alejandro Cartagena to launch Mongsangga, his 16-piece genesis collection of animated compositions. This was followed by Morning Calm, a 100-piece still collection featured in The Fellowship’s Post-Photographic Perspectives III exhibition, which sold out instantly during a private sale.

Sheldrick has an ongoing photomimetic exploration of the Anthropocene through Empire, a project created by sourcing over 35.000 vernacular photography slides from the 1940s to 2010 to train and finetune generative models. In parallel with his artistic work, Sheldrick consults brands at the aesthetic event horizon of generative visuals.
