Based in Shoreditch, London, they have spoken internationally about the intrinsic value of experience and its relevance in a changing consumer-driven and progressively technology-orientated world - including, UnBox festival in New Delhi, Replayce The City in Zurich, SxSW Austin and TEDx Cities 2.0 in Hamburg.

They are both visiting tutors atGoldsmiths College, University of London.
