They are founders of the “ecosex movement”, where they aim to make the environmental movement more sexy, fun and diverse through film, art, performance and writing. They were official documenta 14 artists (2016-17) where they premièred their film Water Makes Us Wet, had a visual art exhibit, and performed several Ecosex Walking Tours. They were named 2019 Eureka Fellows. You can watch their collaborative work on loveartlab.org, sexecology.org and their solo works in elizabethstephens.org and anniesprinkle.org.
