Today things get a little spooky. We meet Tobias Revell and Natalie Kane, who together form Haunted Machines.

Haunted Machines explores narratives of myth, magic and haunting around technology. They've recently participated in the Serpentine Galleries’ 24-hour event on artificial intelligence, machines and consciousness this year – called Guest, Host, Ghost – and most recently curated the Impakt festival 2017 in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

One the agenda: why we still haven’t shaken our industrial-era understanding of machines and technology, and the undeniable creepiness of Alexa.
