Agnes Cameron is a hardware and software developer, whose work explores complex systems using agent-based modelling. Her recent artistic work includes a weather- and market-simulation "The First 1000 Years", a digital artwork developed with Gary Zhexi Zhang commissioned by Arts Catalyst and Bloc Projects, and 'Future Gardens', a project developed collectively with the Mecklenburgh Square Garden in King's Cross, that uses climate projections, weather and ecological models to speculate on different possible futures. As a visiting artist at Sakiya, she also collaborated with Zhang on the digital ecology "Permaculture Network" (2019), since exhibited at Akademie Schloss Solitude.

Agnes works professionally with artists to conceive and develop technically ambitious work for installation, sculpture and performance. She is a co-director of the design and research studio Foreign Objects, where she has worked on projects exploring experimental chatbots, generative machine learning, and the decentralised web

At present, she is developing a new body of work exploring food ontologies, trade agreements British food policy and manufacturing history, and will be a UK Assiociate on Delfina Foundation's Politics of Food programme this Autumn.
