Humans since 1982 are a Stockholm 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 multiple analogue clock faces to display digital typography to create 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 seriesA million Times'. A million Times artworks are larger, with more clock faces and the clock hands are programmed to move independently and in formation to create patterns in 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; Design Miami[9] and is 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 and 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].
