Jon Thomson and Alison Craighead are artists living and working in London. They make artworks and installations for galleries, online and
sometimes outdoors. Much of their recent work looks at live networks like the web and how they are changing the way we all understand the world around us.  Having both studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, Jon now lectures part time at The Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, while Alison is a senior researcher at University of Westminster and lectures in Fine Art at Goldsmiths University.
