Their precise, formally beautiful art explores the networks of today\u2019s global society within a rigorous conceptual and aesthetic framework. They employ a wide range of media, including models displayed as sculpture, wall paintings, furniture and film. Through this diverse output runs a consistent engagement with ideas of space and place, with architecture and identity, with language and with the hidden connections of international politics. In the interview for this film, the artists reflect on their experiences travelling to the warzone of Afghanistan, where they made the controversial film Zardad\u2019s Dog and researched the digital animation The House of Osama Bin Laden. Other recent works have used the technologies of immersive games and presented the signs and symbols of contemporary networks. Alongside this exploration of virtual worlds, they have also created real-world urban architecture, most notably the spectacular Paddington Basin Bridge in London. Langlands & Bell are two artists who work collaboratively. Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell, beGan collaborating in 1978, while studying Fine Art at Middlesex Polytechnic in North London, from 1977 to 1980.
