the nature of consciousness, embodiment and techno-augmentation.

nature of the so-called transition from human to posthuman, a
phenomenon he calls the techno-metamorphosis of humanity. Past
artwork was mainly drawing and sculpture, current work is exclusively
digital/computer created images. Writing work includes both film &
book reviews, poetry and academic essays. These are published in
numerous journals, magazines and books. His formal academic studies
comprise: Philosophy of Mind, Comparative Religion, Architecture and
Psychotherapy. He is an active member of Leonardo, Metapsychology
