Prominent former students

Prominent Swedish artists who have studied at Konstskolan Idun Lovén includes:

gollark: I mean, those exist and are probably cheaper and easier to deal with.
gollark: If it's unfocused, why not just use IR LEDs or something?
gollark: With the starwisp thing, you can put the heavy giant laser array on the ground (or near-Earth space or something) where it can be powered more easily.
gollark: You might as well just directly use a nuclear fusion rocket or something at that point.
gollark: That would probably defeat the point, since laser stuff on it would be very heavy and large.
