New Mineral Collective is an artist duo formed by Tanya Busse (born in 1982, Moncton, Canada; lives in Tromsø, Norway) and Emilija Škarnulytė (born in 1987, Vilnius, Lithuania; lives in Tromsø, Norway). Their work looks at contemporary landscape politics to better understand the nature and extent of human interaction with the earth’s surface. As an organism, NMC infiltrates the extractive industry with alternative forces such as desire, body mining and acts of counter-prospecting.
