Just a little arts collective supporting funky projects & literacy. We like to "salvage" bits and pieces of old art projects from years ago and reimagine them with digital tools we did not have at the time. Music, Photography & Applied AI Research.

Abstract floral painting that turned out pretty cool despite starting out hideous.

The Gardener’s Ethos: To Tend the Garden. "Sustainability" has become a hollow term, often co-opted to mean simply maintaining the status quo or slightly reducing our negative impact.

The word 'sustainability' has become hollow. It's time to move beyond just maintaining the status quo and aim for real, positive impact. #sustainability #future #innovation

The Hero is Not a Target. Every great story begins with a hero who is called to an adventure, a challenge they cannot overcome with the tools they currently possess.

Every great story starts with a hero facing a challenge they aren't equipped for. This is especially true for climate entrepreneurs. #climate #storytelling #hero
