I was privileged to work at different stages of the development of the ideas for the Peeps with artist/architect Dan Wrightson, Professor of Artificial Intelligence Noel Sharkey and artists Mary Wardle, David Ralston and Michael Ellison. They each brought a different creative perspective to the debate and challenged and shaped the artwork as it unfolded.
