About the Authors
Mats Bigert (b. 1965) and Lars Bergström (b. 1962) have formed an artistic collective in Stockholm since 1986. Their oeuvre exists at the intersection of art, technology, and climatology. They are known for their ability to make large-scale societal themes—such as climate change and human attempts to control nature—tangible through conceptual installations. Their work often balances between scientific experiment and artistic poetry.
