Read the essayAbout the practice
I keep moving between art, music, psychology, religious studies and technology because they offer different ways into the same questions: what is a mind, how does a world appear, and what happens when minds meet?
Monkadelic is where those questions become things to see, hear and enter. My writing and research provide another part of the conversation.
