INTELLIGENCE EVOLVES
"Imagination creates reality" - Richard Wagner
As I reflected on potential futures I came to understand that intelligence is evolving into more complex, more capable and more inclusive forms. Each new moment contains something novel that ensures that we and the world will never be the same. The expansion of the Kosmos , of which I was a part, was expanding forward, not falling back to some imagined perfect state. The Integral Map developed by philosopher Ken Wilber, was a significant influence in my exploration.
Human’s unique contribution to this evolving intelligence is in the stories we tell, the innovations we shape, the relationships we engage in and the projects we create. The three short storyboards below reflect some of the themes that influenced me as I worked this inquiry. They each have an individual story to impart and collectively they create some interesting combinations of integrated thought and experience.
At the bottom of this page are three examples of initial work that manifested out of my evolution of intelligence at that time. These projects were a result of co-creating with some very talented people .
