“I think therefore I am.” ~Descartes
John Jennifer adds:
I care therefore we are… and you cannot think your way to ‘we’

He is a poet, an architect, and a cultural instigator. He helped create The Museum of No Spectators which includes Burning Man art of snark and social justice, but no velvet ropes.

He’s a paradox embracer. In a world of binaries, he asserts that between black and white is not a gradient of gray; between black and white is all the conceivable colors.

Hear him philosophize about different styles of art and artists, from avant garde to architecture, from Salvador Dalí to Frank Lloyd Wright.

He and Stuart explore how a glittery clothespin alligator and a museum-grade sculpture both share the humanity of the giver.

They explore playa art — genre-defying, genre-defining — and the value of both fine art and participatory art at Burning Man.

They explore how creative expression went from being seen as a hobby to a human need, and how creative community proliferates.

Listen in on their profound and playful chat.
