Annalise’s current work is centred around a bodily irritant and its external, physical manifestation while playing on the gambling chip and the latter’s connection to the word 'calculus' (Latin for "small stone"); a term which, in addition to mathematics, is still used in medicine to describe stone-like structures produced by the body.

Ana works with interactivity and the distortion of the familiar by using connected household objects with programming and sensors. In different dysfunctional ways the objects react to the presence and closeness of the viewer.

Ana Marques Engh (b. 1993) has for the last few years been working with finding solutions to difficult emotional problems, with alternating success. By trying to solve problems that perhaps cannot be solved by using objects and technology, she has ended up in a place between hope and hopelessness. This takes the form of dysfunctional technological solutions.

Annalise Wimmer (b. 1986) is interested in how optimism can be fed to substances and processes that are inherently inhibiting. This is usually expressed via fictional and factual approaches where she stages interactions between the familiar and the foreign through materials and objects. Annalise has a master from the Oslo Academy of Fine Arts and a bachelor in animation from Edinburgh College of Art.
