Carsten Höller is a German-born artist currently living in Stockholm. He’s known for years of amazing and interactive installations, and most recently his Brutalist-themed restaurant Brutalisten. He’s an amazing scientific mind who we had a blast talking to. We chat about our arrival in Toronto, Chris injuring himself on the assault bike, writing a book about playing games, why Americans talk too loudly, taking drugs to stimulate lucid dreaming, sometimes there is no egg to crack, his personal brutalist manifesto, the consumption of breastmilk, removing and restricting to create new ideas, we pick an outfit for his upcoming trip to Ibiza, how to make brutalism fun, reducing the amount of noise you experience, his disdain for mayonnaise, and we make him explain why he has dozens of birds in his apartment, and we question whether or not it smells crazy in there.
