Guy Ben-Ary & Nathan Thompson are Perth based artists. Recognised internationally as major innovators working across science and media arts, they specialise in biotechnological artworks which aim to enrich our understanding of what it means to be alive. Their award-winning works have been shown across the globe at prestigious venues such as Mona, the Venice Biennale, Mori Museum, Ars Electronica and more. Interested in how art has the potential to initiate public debate on the challenges arising from the liminal lives they create, they develop artworks designed to problematise emergent bio-technologies’ influence on the shifting forces that govern and determine life, death and sentience.

Nathan Thompson is a 2024 Falling Walls winner in the Art & Science category.
