Current research includes:

• a study of art-making and the rise of consciousness in Homo sapiens, and the transition of humans to Homo faber and Homo techne;

• continuing work on modes of knowledge transmission in indigenous/traditional cultures, with a focus on mapping, cartography, and visual and psychological models of the landscape;

• and a philosophy of science investigation on the role of empirical methods in studying the nature of time, the structure of spacetime, and temporality (our sense of time’s passage).

Current artistic projects include:

• a project that looks at digital mapping and way-finding as a commentary on human wanderings;

• an artistic investigation into the idea of parallel worlds or “alternate” worlds;

• the use of recycled materials to create specialized scenes and visual puns; and

• in music, a new, five-song EP that was released in the spring of 2023, and continued work in electronica.

Recent consulting has included:

• a presentation on the experience of overseas students in university settings in the U.S.; and

• a lecture on recent geopolitics and culture in East Asia.
