Dr. Stuart Candy is a pioneer of experiential futures, a family of practices for supporting collective foresight through media, the arts, and design. With a background spanning law, the history and philosophy of science, and musical theatre, for two decades he has seeded and grown approaches to rigorous imagining and co-creation that are now used worldwide.

A frequent advisor and collaborator on cultural, educational, governance, and organizational initiatives, Dr. Candy has worked with Fortune 100 companies, UN agencies, the International Red Cross, World Energy Council, Smithsonian Institution, Dubai Museum of the Future, Oxford University, the BBC, The New York Times, the Obama Foundation, U.S. Conference of Mayors, and cities from Melbourne to Mexico.

He has held academic appointments at leading universities and design schools including the inaugural professorship in Social Foresight at Parsons School of Design in New York, and fellowships at the East-West Center (Hawaii), Museum of Tomorrow (Brazil), INK (India), Berggruen Institute, World Economic Forum, and The Long Now Foundation.

Dr. Candy is a member of the OECD’s Expert Group on Strategic Foresight, chair of the Center for PostNatural History, and founding director of the creative research unit and award-winning publisher Situation Lab. He recently served as curatorial advisor for NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Getty-backed exhibition in Los Angeles, “Blended Worlds: Experiments in Interplanetary Imagination”.

Dr. Sigfredo Fuentes is an associate professor in Digital Agriculture, Food and Wine Sciences (DAFW) at the School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences (SAFES) in the Faculty of Science at The University of Melbourne, Australia. In addition, Sigfredo Fuentes is the international coordinator of the Vineyard of The Future initiative (VoF), which is an international collaboration that strives to establish a fully instrumented vineyard that uses the Internet of Things (IoT) for data capture and meaningful analysis of climate change in viticulture and enology in Australia, to transfer these technologies to all agricultural sectors.

He has over 30 projects and 216 scholarly works, both active and completed. He is working on two major projects: “Deep learning modeling for hyperspectral imagery” funded by the Australian Government Department of Defence and the Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space (P4S), which has the goal to develop plants to support long-term space missions to the Moon (2030) and Mars (2040) with the NASA.

His research efforts focus on the application of technology to plant physiology and viticulture, as well as in the areas of irrigation science, irrigation scheduling, remote sensing, and climate change. His work also focuses on the development of computer programs for agricultural research and applications, the creation of new methodologies to assess plant physiology and growth using image analysis and technology, and the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in agricultural, food, animal, and wine sciences.
