"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.
