THE CENTER FOR MEDIA AND DESTINY -

The Center is a small think tank, home to a collection of philosophical and pop culture thinkers who embrace a mind-expanding agenda for the 21st century. We create cosmic media theory to better theorize, critique, and understand technological and human destiny on Spaceship Earth. Check out the Center's new video, which poetically shows the existential challenge posed to humanity by its cosmic media technologies.

Imagine exploring the fate of our species, the ideas of films and artworks, the existential effects of media technologies, and the meaning of our existence in a vast universe, of which we are not the center — in hopes of theorizing a better destiny for humanity and our planet. That's what we do. We're about the big futures. Join us.
