Michael Garfield is a futurist and has been the host of the legendary Future Fossils podcast series, where he conversed with an avalanche of amazing guests for deep but irreverent discussions at the edge of the known and knowable: on prehistory and post-humanity and deep time, non-human agency and non-duality.  

Garfield is an interlocutor for a worldwide community of artists, scientists, and philosophers. This practice feeds his synthetic and transdisciplinary “mind-jazz” performances in the form of essays, music, and fine art. The standard-bearer for a new generation of boundary-defying scholars, he refuses to be enslaved by a single perspective, creative medium, or intellectual community, walking through the walls between academia and festival culture, theory and practice — speaking and performing. 

Before producing Future Fossils, he was a Digital Media Strategist at Santa Fe Institute. Currently, he is the instigator, lead researcher, and curator of the Humans On The Loop project, a multimodal public inquiry on wisdom and technology, power and responsibility, the future of human-technology co-evolution, and holistic practices for cultivating saner futures.
