We need to sort of keep moving. Um, I think that's integral to how we kind of preserve a good balance of optimism, uh, in the human consciousness.

I think what's interesting about this image is that it’s our reality today, and you can look at every detail in this image. It's very deliberate; it's not a fluke. There’s a bed in the corner, and it's about the proximity of work, sleep, and leisure. You see art in the corner, and a picture of the guy’s family in the background. He’s not wearing a

think Mars is actually an opportunity to reorient our economy around, uh, fluid and sort of ever-changing identity, and the removal of identity as a fixed construct. I actually think that that is a more abundant economy than the one we're in now because we have to think about how uh, how much creative um, restriction there is due to something not

When we think of the kind of modern crises that we're facing, is that with the internet as the sort of spawn point, the origin point, none of it is really big enough. It's a sort of terrible thing to think about, but like climate change as a story, the idea of solving climate change as a story arc is not it. Actually, it's a regression from

he image has to be larger than the origin, and I think because we have probably the largest image today, which is the internet, and globalization. What happens is any new work, any image that is smaller than that, it kind of just gets sucked up into that.
