Humans since 1982 are a Stockholm, Sweden based artist studio established in 2009. Founding artists Bastian Bischoff (b. 1982, Germany) and Per Emanuelsson (b. 1982, Sweden) met as postgraduate students at HDK Göteborg in 2008[1]. The studio is recognised for their interdisciplinary practice that traverses art, design and technology and is co-owned with engineer David Cox (b. 1983, Australia)[2][3].

The ClockClock (2008-10) was the first collaborative project in which the studio started experimenting with using 24 analogue clock faces to create a digital typography, resulting in a kinetic sculpture that is also a functioning clock[4]. The ClockClock was exhibited at Phillip De Pury’s ‘Connectors’ at Saatchi Gallery, London in 2010[5].

The studio is most recognised for their ongoing series A million Times, which continues to build on the concept of The ClockClock through larger artworks with more clock faces. A million Times clock hands are programmed to move independently and in formation to create patterns between telling the time[6][7]. A million Times artworks have been exhibited internationally at institutions and art events including: ‘Now it the Time’ Art Wuzhen 2019, China; Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum[8], New York and Design Miami[9], both USA. Artworks from this series are also included in the permanent collections of Platform-L Contemporary Art Centre[10], Seoul, Korea; Mercedes-Benz Stadium[11], Atlanta, USA and Changi Airport, Singapore[12].

Their largest work to date A Million Times at Changi (2018) has 504 clock faces and is installed as part of the permanent public art collection at Changi Airport, Singapore in Terminal 2. At 7.5m wide x 3.4m tall, A Million Times at Changi is one of the biggest kinetic artworks in the world[13].

In June 2019 Humans since 1982 were announced as one of six international artists to collaborate with IKEA for the IKEA Art Event 2021[14].
