Permaculture is a more natural form of agriculture that respects the natural intelligence of ecosystems and organisms with mindful harvesting. I recently took advantage of how easy this is to do with some mushrooms I purchased from Trader Joe’s that still had the mycelium on the base intact. Before lightly sauteeing the brown beech mushrooms,Continue reading “Everyday Environmentalism: Permaculture Begins At Home”

Studio Shangri-La Lab Notes: The “Black Pearl” Explores Earth Science & Photochemistry
Now dubbed “The Black Pearl” during testing, the galvanized steel trunk I am using to create to the ‘trash can of the future’ is housing an experimental photocatalytic process — using light(s) to break down plastics in particular, to harmless and useful byproduct. The set-up is inspired by the sun and the organism earth’s atmosphere.Continue reading “Studio Shangri-La Lab Notes: The “Black Pearl” Explores Earth Science & Photochemistry”
Upcoming On OCTAVES Music: Electric Echoes — We Are The Tech Of The Tech Of The Tech
The next and fifth movement of my cosmic tech opera Electric Echoes is “We Are The Tech Of The Tech Of The Tech” which is quite simply an expression of cosmic heritage and interconnectedness. The characters are as follows: Stellaris – Embodiment of Stars and Planetary Bodies Micros – Embodiment of Microbes and Life atContinue reading “Upcoming On OCTAVES Music: Electric Echoes — We Are The Tech Of The Tech Of The Tech”
Space Biology + Cosmogony: Minerals, Microbes & Radiotrophs
Around 3.7 billion years ago, microbes appeared on Earth (1) and they arose from the interaction between minerals and the surrounding environmental turbulence and temperature fluctuations. From this view, elements and minerals can be considered life forms. “Inorganic” minerals are not generally acknowledged as life forms, however they comprise the technology of human biology. CarlContinue reading “Space Biology + Cosmogony: Minerals, Microbes & Radiotrophs”

Eco + Design: Proposal For Draw 7 Park Urban Forest
In recently pitching the urban forest idea to the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, I’m inspired by 70’s environmental and landscape art pioneer Agnes Denes and current green architect Vincent Callebaut, whose works are absolutely amazing. Their visions are both practical, harmonious and beautiful. And it seems the time has come for ideas likeContinue reading “Eco + Design: Proposal For Draw 7 Park Urban Forest”
Eco + Tech: Flash Biodegradability Pt. 1 — Concept Adaptation & Development
The concept of Flash Biodegradability is directly inspired by the above achievement of James Tour and team at Rice University, making “flash graphene” out of trash, a carbon byproduct. Flash Biodegradability would ideally leave no tangible byproduct, such as trace elements or light — or create a useful byproduct such as water. Its successful realizationContinue reading “Eco + Tech: Flash Biodegradability Pt. 1 — Concept Adaptation & Development”
Sound + Genetics: Activating & Limiting Genetic Expression Using The Harmonic Series
Bodies are affected on multiple levels by the forces of nature, and one of those forces is sound. Sound waves are considered mechanical because they require a medium like air or water through which to travel. Sounds results from vibration in matter. When you speak, that’s moving air through the vocal cords. The decision toContinue reading “Sound + Genetics: Activating & Limiting Genetic Expression Using The Harmonic Series”

Activating The Ageless Algorithm Part 3
03. Food The next instruction of the Ageless Algorithm is to eat and supplement intentionally. Supplements should be regarded as augmentations and not dependencies. There is a plant for every ailment and attribute. I have a growing collection of botanical extracts on my shelf. For maximum benefit, shelve any illogical skepticism about the fruits ofContinue reading “Activating The Ageless Algorithm Part 3”
Activating The Ageless Algorithm
The famous phrase “live fast die young” comes from the 1940s novel Knock On Any Door by Willard Motley, made into a movie starring Humphrey Bogart. The entire phrase was: “I wanna live fast, die young and leave a beautiful corpse.” A horrid picture to paint, in my opinion. Fortunately though, that notion is fastContinue reading “Activating The Ageless Algorithm”
