Kolbeinn Hugi (Animal Internet) is an artist, musician, and thinker born in Reykjavík and based in Berlin. His work explores possible futures through digital culture, ecology, and science fiction, using speculative world-building to question human-centered systems of power and technology. Kolbeinn's work has been exhibited across four continents, from capitalist trailer parks at MoMA PS1 to communist-built Lenin museums on the Siberian plains.

A central body of his recent work is Animal Internet, an eco-futurist visual arts project envisioning a zoocratic future in which animals are active users and builders of the internet. Through neural interfaces and interpretive AI systems, animals construct new network frontiers that reshape technology, culture, economics, medicine, communication, architecture, and philosophy.

Kolbeinn Hugi has owned an autographed copy of The Trials of Life by David Attenborough since he was thirteen.
