Infinity
Living systems seem to manifest a different form of reality that describes a trajectory from simple organic lifeforms to more complex forms with greater capacities for self-consciousness, self-awareness, and self-organization.

Culture
Pandora’s Box
As if money had real value, as if laws were universal ethical principles, as if humans could actually own land and resources as property, and as if the leaders of corporations and governments had any real authority beyond the ability to direct and control the narrative.
Culture
World Building
The act of visioning and dreaming, and imagining, I think, is something that’s very important in terms of world building and in terms of building alternative structures that address some of the social, cultural, and economic and political issues that we’re facing.

Trimtab Space Camp
A trimtab is a point in a system where the minimum effort causes the maximum effect. Trimtab people and projects solve multiple challenges at once and dissolve the underlying circumstances that lead to those challenges, by taking into account a whole systems approach.
Culture
Synchronicity
Time, energy, and matter must exist in a constant flow that provides a medium for transformation. Evolution is change. Humans are witnesses to change and we are agents of change.
Science
Symbiotic Earth
The film reframed my relationship to my own body as a sort of god-like responsibility to the maintenance of a body that is composed of cells and microorganisms that depend on my thoughts, motivations, and behaviours for the health and well-being of the whole. I am a microcosm of the symbiotic Earth.
Science
Living Systems
To manifest the evolutionary benefits of the living systems that have created our species, we must remember where we came from and how we arrived at this stage in our growth and development.
Art
Fragile
Humans are awakening to the reality that there is more to this life than the game of survival. If we can transcend fear, we have the incredible opportunity to realize love.

Proposal
A proposal for the Living Systems Art + Design Collaboratory presented by Design Science Studio at the Buckminster Fuller Institute in partnership with habRitual + The Emergent Media DesignLab at the University of California, Irvine.

Community
The systems we design, as we are in the process of discovering, have unintended consequences on our biology and the global ecology when human population and activity are amplified through technology at a global scale.
Community
Hello World!
My goal for the project would be to document the emerging community as a means to better research and understand how a model for metaphysical gravity could replace the existing model of hierarchical dominance.
Culture
Gravity
The existential crises of this moment are revealing the gravity of our situation and our moral dilemma. While we have been busy building the modern world, we forgot to ask essential questions about truth, beauty, and good.
