Megan Bates is a multi-disciplinary artist working in London.
She also works as a software developer in climate-focussed energy systems modelling at transition zero.
She uses her experience as a physicist and software developer to create works using scientific mediums such as programming, electronics, and 3D-modelling, alongside more traditional materials.
Her work primarily reflects on our relationship with technology, through feminism, environmentalism, and the philosophy of science.
