Solimán López on using Data and Art to rethink our impact on Earth

The friction humans create on Earth: that’s one of the obsessions explored by Spanish artist Solimán López, whose groundbreaking projects connect diverse disciplines like physics, astronomy, biotechnology, and digital art. He is also the founder of the Harddiskmuseum, a repository for contemporary thinking. For him, collecting and analyzing data is the only way humankind can look back and learn from its mistakes—so that we do not repeat them in the future.
