World-renowned artist Thijs Biersteker uses a unique fusion of science and art to help leading scientists and major institutions share critical data with heads of state and win the hearts of the public.
Through his Woven Foundation, Thijs and his team transform environmental data into immersive art installations that make complex environmental issues accessible, understandable, and relatable. At key conferences and world-class museums, they collaborate with UNESCO, WHO, LVMH, and many others to raise awareness of urgent global challenges and highlight projects offering hope for the future.
Their fluid blend of AI, sensors, and large datasets with kinetic engines, delicate mycelium, and ocean plastics creates a truly unique synergy in the art and scientific world. The Woven Foundation extends the impact of these installations beyond the gallery walls by fostering engagement opportunities for policymakers and the public alike. Through this unified “woven” approach, they are celebrated for heralding a new generation of science communication.
