Michael Garfield
Artist and Philosopher Michael helps people 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 Future Fossils Podcast & The Santa Fe Institute's Complexity Podcast, he acts as interlocutor for a worldwide community of artists, scientists, philosophers, and industry professionals — a practice fed by and and feeding back into over fifteen years of synthetic and transdisciplinary mind-jazz performances in the form of essay, music, visual art, and public speaking.

Well, right now I am what my buddy calls ‘funemployed.’ But really, I don’t know. Basically what happened is I got preoccupied with very, very deep kind of profound cosmic questions and the very last year of undergrad, I realized I couldn’t ask those questions in any program that I could find. And after years of trying to find a way to continue as an academic, I basically gave up and moved to Boulder, Colorado, and started writing for a music blog and working as a sound engineer; playing concerts around town and painting at concerts. I didn’t know what else to do, and I was just sort of, like, scraping my income together. And that became a career touring as an artist and musician and public speaker at music festivals. And that led to me hosting the Future Fossils podcast.
