Mats Brodén
Mats Olof Brodén (16 February 1961, Gothenburg) is a Swedish researcher and entrepreneur in the field of material research.
In the beginning of the 1990s, Mats Brodén initiated a number of art projects and events. One was the alternative art fair "The Stockholm Smart Show". The Smart Show presented new art from around the world to the Swedish public.
Another project was Art Node (1994-2001), the purpose of which was to provide support for artistic projects that sought to find expression in new media, above all on the Internet. A number of Internet-based art projects and philosophic and aesthetic seminars were produced by Art Node and broadcast live on the Internet starting in 1997. During this period, Brodén also participated in the Swedish Department of Culture's examination of what new technology might mean for the cultural sphere. Art Node also published 4 issues of the online art magazine Artorbit. During Art Node's last two years (1999–2001), Art Node also organized a large media art exhibition, iART.
In connection with this, Brodén was engaged in the Foundation Skapande Människa [Creative Human] as Committee President. The Foundation supported young artists and researchers, and organised seminars on art and science. (Source).
