How can we restore pre-modern humanity in a post-modern world, without decelerating technologically?
That question runs through my work and thinking. How can fragile human capacities, taken far out of their elements, become hyper-resilient to the very forces that broke them? This entails exploring while zoomed out (e.g. American manufacturing) and zoomed in (epigenetics). To the end of building resilience, I enjoy thinking about, and experimenting with, aesthetics, which I see as inseparable from our ethics (how we choose to live).
