An upcoming game featuring the deep history of humanity released gameplay footage this past week. 

Presenting “1624”, a new work of art commissioned by Anthony Tumbiolo, founder of JAKT. This work remixes timeless values enshrined in the planetary archetypes of Saturn (structure), Uranus (innovation) and Jupiter (growth) with the living spirit of one of NYC’s most dynamic technology studios…

I am thrilled to share that I recently had the honor of wrapping up a major art commission for a technology company in Silicon Valley. This work was developed over the course of 5 months, going from conceptualization, through multiple phases of prototyping, on to the final piece. This was also by far the largest piece I have worked on… comprising a total of 8ft by 2ft across multiple segments. ⠀

Nonviolence is a political action theory that advocates for creating political change without the use of physical violence. Nonviolence has been successfully deployed in several movements around the world as part of a portfolio of activism. Proponents of nonviolence frequently emphasize the spiritual benefits of this method. However, nonviolence also holds powerful material benefits as a program of action.

The past few months have certainly been highly tumultuous for the United Kingdom. After the Brexit vote, which resulted in the UK choosing to cede from the European Union, a lot of stakeholders and commenters around the world were quick to proclaim the foolishness of the British population and the imminent doom they would face.

My view is that the UK has taken a big risk, but failure is not inevitable. Nor is the vote purely based on hatred and xenophobia.

Universal basic income (UBI) is the idea that every human being should receive material support just for being alive. This is a different approach to distribution of wealth compared to current capitalism which generally provides material support in exchange for labor or ownership. 

When it comes to debates on how great or terrible capitalism is, I find myself trying to interpret what a meaningful middle path forward would be. Such a path would dutifully acknowledge some of the most egregious facets of capitalism, while also ensuring that some of the great benefits we get out of this system are not thrown out as well. Here I will take a look at some negative aspects of capitalism.
