-He was born in [[London]] and studied fine art and interactive design at [[Middlesex University]] (1988-1991), the [[Slade School of Fine Art]] (1991-1992) and the [[University of Westminster]] (1996-1997) during which time he also worked with the [[Turner Prize]] nominated artists [[Langlands and Bell]]. Before abandoning exhibiting in galleries to work out in the fields he exhibited his artworks in several galleries including a one person show called ''Infinity Focus'' at the [http://www.maxwigram.com Max Wigram] gallery in London which was curated by [[Gavin Turk]] one of the [[Young British Artists]] (YBAs) and in the group shows ''A Fete Worse than Death'' and ''The Hanging Picnic'' alongside [[Tracey Emin]], [[Gillian Wearing]], [[Gavin Turk]], [[Gilbert & George]], [[Sarah Lucas]] and [[Damien Hirst]] at [[Joshua Compston]]'s Hoxton gallery ''Factual Nonsense''. In 1993 after he had stopped exhibiting in galleries the art collector [[Charles Saatchi]] offered to buy one of his anonymously created crop circles and exhibit it at the Saatchi Gallery in London. His offer was declined on the basis that to function correctly as artworks the crop circles need to remain authorless.

-In 1995 Lundberg created the [http://circlemakers.org circlemakers.org] website to document his group's activities. The site which averages one million page views a month is the only site of its kind on the Internet, and consists of over 250 pages of information about crop circle making. The site has received several awards, including [[The Guardian]] Site of the Year and a Yell UK Web award, as well as numerous favorable reviews in the media.

-The circles he and his collaborators crafted anonymously gained him notoriety and created headlines around the world. Eventually Lundberg began to be approached by companies asking him if he could create crop circles to be used in TV shows, music videos, movies, adverts and PR stunts. Clients to date have included, [[Disney]], [[BP]], [[Scope (British charity) |Scope]], [[Royal Bank of Scotland]], [[Red Bull]], [[Microsoft]], [[Greenpeace]], [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]], [[AMD]], [[Shredded Wheat]], [[Hello Kitty]], [[Pepsi]], [[Weetabix]], [[BBC]], [[The Sun]], [[Mitsubishi]], [[O2]], [[Big Brother (TV series)|Big Brother]], [[NBC-TV]], [[Orange Mobile]], [[History Channel]] and the [[Discovery Channel]].
-He has been accused of being involved in the creation of the notorious [[alien autopsy]] video released in 1995 by businessman [[Ray Santilli]] which purported to show the autopsy of an alien creature that was recovered from a crashed flying saucer that landed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1948.
-There's a chapter about his crop circle making in [[Iain Aitch]]'s book ''A Fete Worse Than Death'' ISBN 0-7553-1191-4. 2006 saw the publication of his book ''The Field Guide: The Art, History and Philosophy of Crop Circle Making'' ISBN 0-9548054-2-9 which was co-written with circlemakers collaborator Rob Irving. Henry Hemming's book ''In Search of the English Eccentric'' ISBN 0719522129 was published in 2008 and  includes a chapter about Lundberg and his crop circle making collaborators.
-He graduated from the documentary directing MA at the prestigious [[National Film and Television School]] in 2004 and his award winning short film [http://www.mythologist.co.uk The Mythologist] about a latter-day [[Walter Mitty]] character was broadcast on the BBC the same year. He is currently making his first feature length documentary [http://www.miragemen.com Mirage Men], about US military disinformation with [[Warp Films]]. The film is scheduled for release in 2009 along with an accompanying book written by Mark Pilkington and published by Constable and Robinson. Lundberg was featured in the [[Discovery Channel]]'s series [[Monster Garage]] (hosted by [[Jesse G. James]]) as a part of a build team slated with the task of creating a mechanical crop-circle maker out of a tractor.
