Shift Work: A Conversation on Art and Life in the Third Millennium

FORTHCOMING Fall 2025

Art makes diverse ways of being within and seeing the world emerge.

Ontohackers: Radical Movement Philosophy in the Age of Extinctions and Algorithms, Part III: Metahistories of Movement: Philosophies in Becoming (An Appendix or Extension)

FORTHCOMING Summer 2025
