Carsten Höller creates what he calls Influential Environments, intended to create particular states of mind, like excitement and alteration, doubt and confusion, joy and fear. He has a Ph.D. habil. in the field of phytopathology from researching insects’ olfactory communication before becoming an artist. His installations are often reminiscent of scientific experiments, but without a scientist or data-collecting apparatus present. Instead of the artist’s vision being embodied in the artwork, as is traditionally the case, his artworks allow for self-experimentation, producing particular experiences in the users. He has referred to the visitors of his exhibitions as “his real working material”.

Höller’s works have been shown in major art institutions worldwide, including Fondazione Prada, Milan (2000), Tate Modern, London (2006), Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2010), New Museum, New York (2011), Hayward Gallery, London (2015), Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan (2016), Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (2019) and MAAT, Lisbon (2021). In 2022, Höller opened the restaurant Brutalisten in Stockholm.

We are the first generation who won’t die.

Amy and Ben Wright are the founders of Bitty & Beau’s Coffee—a for-profit company created to confront a quiet but pervasive injustice: people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are systemically excluded from the workforce and underestimated by society. The Wrights didn’t set out to sell coffee—they set out to redefine human value. Named after their two youngest children, Bitty and Beau, who have Down syndrome, the company has grown into a nationally recognized brand with locations across the U.S., employing hundreds of individuals with I/DD. Their daughter Lillie, who is on the autism spectrum, serves on their leadership team—turning lived experience into strategy. At Bitty & Beau’s, kindness isn’t branding—it’s infrastructure. It powers decisions, drives culture, and shapes every customer encounter. It’s not sentimental—it’s systemic. In a world that measures people by output and efficiency, the Wrights are offering a counter-model: one that proves empathy can scale, purpose can drive profit, and inclusion can be the foundation—not the afterthought—of success.
