The Emergence of Spirit in Extended Reality and the Speculative Synagogue

These words, which pass through your consciousness as you read them, as they passed through mine as I write them, are divine. They are divine in so far as all words are divine. All language is sacred when exchanged with the living language of others; constitutive others who also have…

“Musca Depicta” (2022)

Why not swat that fly? Perhaps it bugs you, as bugs are wont to do. Perhaps it agitates around you, as it invades your space without any declaration or consent. No further justification is necessary for its summary execution. And just as you are about to carry out the capital…

Positive Sum Design and the Economics of Sharing

Three Sketches: Mask Design Studies

These prototypes are sketches; quick explorations and validations of ideas. These sketches, like all sketches, are capable of describing the complete but abbreviated contours of a concept, while also offering space to work out the parts of that concept that are as of yet incomplete. Sketches make concepts concrete, giving…

The Book of Ezekiel and the Speculative Design

Ezekiel is one of the most enigmatic books in the Tanakh. For centuries upon centuries, it has inspired the mystical imagination and given commentators a speculative framework to contemplate the meaning and purpose of exile, while attempting to interpret the Image and Spirit of G-d. It can also be read…

Beyond Design Thinking:

An Incomplete Design Taxonomy — Design is never finished, never complete. Every design project is an iteration on a much greater process that has been unfolding since our ancestors first learned to use tools.
