    Episode 11 - Another World Is Possible - With Branden Collins

    In this episode, we take over two hours to move beyond traditional understanding of our limitations as creatives with Branden Collins. Branden has a fascinating take on humanity, relationships, design and creativity, technology, and the inter-workings of our collective consciousness. Branden is the founder of The Young Never Sleep Studio, a platform for interdisciplinary creative collaboration. This platform has continued to evolve as a trans-disciplinary, research-driven practice, operating with the philosophy that art, science, culture and technology are intimately intertwined and nearly synonymous as valuable methods of human interrogation of ourselves and the world around us. My independent and collaborative creative work acts as a form of predictive analytics, using historical context, experimentation and design to transfrom data into futures insights.   His focus today is aimed at a comprehensive archive of this work, and the development of open-source digital & physical “living technologies”.
