Loove Broms, interaction designer
Loove Broms is an interaction designer and PhD student. His major interest is in how old and new technologies can be used to create environments and objects that challenge our traditional conceptions of them. "Technology is not an end in itself for me, but when it melds together with space it can create completely new ways to interact, which is interesting." www.loove.org

 

Erik Krikortz, artist
The artist Erik Krikortz studied at Konstfack in Stockholm and often works with installations in the public space. He is interested in art as a forum for critical discussion. "The light installation at Telefonplan should function as an experience, but at the same time it's a contribution to the public debate."

 

Milo Lavén, architect
Milo Lavén has studied architecture in Stockholm and Barcelona. During recent years, he has worked with projects focusing on political and social issues in architecture. His work often reveals his interest in subversive architecture. "The interesting questions are why, when and where architecture arises. As an architect, you always have to be aware of whose goals you're working for and which ideas your architecture promotes."
