Combining elements of computer science, anthropology, visual art and storytelling, Jonathan Harris designs systems to explore and explain the human world. He has made projects about human emotion, human desire, modern mythology, science, news, anonymity, and language, built a time capsule, and recently documented an Alaskan Eskimo whale hunt. He studied computer science at Princeton University, and was awarded a Fabrica fellowship in 2004. His work has been exhibited at Le Centre Pompidou and New York's Museum of Modern Art. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, and in the name of research, occasionally uses online dating.

Sep Kamvar is a consulting professor of Computational Mathematics at Stanford University. His research focuses on data mining in large-scale adaptive networks such as the web, peer-to-peer and social networks, and markets. He also is interested in using large amounts of data in the study of human nature through art. From 2003 to 2007, Sep was the engineering lead for personalization at Google. Prior to Google, he was the founder and CEO of Kaltix, a personalized search company that was acquired by Google in 2003. Sep is the founder of Distilled, a premium men's fashion line and art collective, and has created a number of web-based art works, including We Feel Fine and Lovelines. He has not tried online dating himself, but has served as an online dating coach to his collaborator on this project.
