Michael Garfield - "Paleontologist-Futurist" and transmedia artist Michael Garfield's work helps people navigate our age of "global weirding" — and inspires the curiosity and playfulness we'll need to thrive in it. As a painter and digital artist, Michael draws inspiration from his background as a psychonaut and scientific illustrator to make everything from murals to apparel, body art to book and album covers. As a multi-instrumentalist musician, Michael’s songs and fully-improvised performances have opened hearts and minds across four continents. His music has been featured everywhere from PBS to COSM, Burning Man to Meow Wolf, peer-reviewed archaeology research papers to the Phase II & III MDMA human trials. As an author, essayist and internationally-charting podcast host, Michael remixes science, art, philosophy, and myth to foster vital conversations at the frothy edges of the known and knowable.
He left his tech job in 2024 to launch Humans On The Loop, a multimedia inquiry into the nature of wisdom and agency in the age of automation and a fiscally-supported community-building and consulting project for improving our imagination in the making and use of magical technologies.
