"Paleontologist-Futurist" Michael Garfield helps navigate our age of accelerating weirdness and cultivate the curiosity and play we'll need to thrive in it. As host and producer of both #FutureFossils & The Santa Fe Institute's #ComplexityPodcast, Michael acts as interlocutor for a worldwide community of artists, scientists, and philosophers — a practice that feeds his synthetic and transdisciplinary "mind-jazz" performances in the form of essay, electroacoustic music, and live illustration.
