I’ve long been preoccupied with the co-development of information technology and consciousness over the course of human evolution, and so my work explores the relationship between mythology, technology, memory and the self and how it has changed over the span of our species. How our innate pattern-seeking impulses impose order on the restless flux and chaos of world in order to aid our survival, and also how modern communications technologies have short-circuited these evolved instincts and disrupted human society and the biosphere in ways we can not predict. We are now at a turning point in the history of not just our own evolutionary development but of the biosphere itself, and so our ability to again find signal in the noise, and find a means to navigate this strange new aeon is essential to our survival.
