ABOUT ME
The question that has guided my work for the past three decades is how invisible systems shape the way we think, live, and relate to one another. How the systems we build shape our lives—and how they might be redesigned. In particular, i have tried to explore and expose how economic, financial, ecological, technological, and cultural systems influence perception, behavior, and collective life. Over time, this inquiry has become a cartography of invisible systems. I moved between different fields as a way of studying these systems from within. Each job, project, medium, and context served and continues to serve as a temporary lens. To me, writing, art, agriculture, and curation are simply the forms this practice takes. I strive to reduce complexity by revealing the structure that connects seemingly unrelated.

FARMING
My farm in Portugal is a living laboratory Where ecological, economic, and social systems intersect. Where people can perceive and rethink the systems they inhabit.

My work explores the systems that govern money, technology, agriculture, ecology, institutions, and perception.
- Why do human systems produce outcomes that almost nobody consciously wants?
- Why does a monetary system create inequality, incentives, bubbles, debt?
- Why do democratic systems produce polarization, populism, disengagement?
- Why does a global economic system destroy the conditions for its own survival?
- Why do the people producing food often earn the least?
- Why do individuals act in ways that collectively produce outcomes they don't desire?
Disciplines are tools. Everything else follows from that.
- Blockchain networks? A coordination system.
- Money? A coordination system.
- Democracy? A coordination system.
- Agriculture? A coordination system.
The Farm in Alentejo is just another medium
- grazing management
- water systems
- fire prevention
- biodiversity
- retreat design
- hosting artists
- land stewardship
How do the systems we create end up shaping the people we become?
Institutions, incentives, technologies, narratives, and environments all influence behavior.
"How do the systems we create end up shaping us?"
Blockchain wasn't about crypto speculation. It was about designing institutions and coordination mechanisms.
Money Patterns isn't really about money. It's about how invisible systems shape our perception and behavior.
The farm wasn't just about owning land. You became fascinated by grazing systems, biodiversity, water management, olive trees, and rural economics.
The Liminal isn't really about retreats. It's about creating conditions in which people can step outside existing systems long enough to see them.
I always said I do something to learn, and then I move on, or move deeper in fact. I drill through layers of the same question. Almost like an archaeologist, or more like an antropologist. I dont abandon a laboratory because I am bored. I leave a topic when I have extracted what that laboratory could teach you. Then I find another laboratory. In the Liminal Residency I am inviting curators and people who are on the treshohold in their life to come and explore these questions with me, or for themselves and I provide the space and time for reflection and creation.
