About

Life is an ongoing process of unfolding within a continuum of matter-cognition-semiotics. Evolutionary dynamics and biophysical forces exhibit end-directed (teleonomic) behavior. They increase interconnection over time, integrating antecedent foundational emergent layers into new aggregations — complete with their own forms, semiotics, and cognition — capable of better navigating the environment from which it emerged.

Our current technologies and systems, an outcome of these currents of aggregation and agency, are increasing capabilities to interconnect and integrate across abiotic, biotic, semiotic, and cognitive spheres, leading to strong emergence and enframing.

Casey has exhibited in the US, Europe, and Asia. Including "Catalyst" at the Queens Museum, “CAFAM Future: Observer-Creator" at the Central Academy of Fine Art Museum, Beijing, "Urban Forest Lab Project" at Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City, NY, had a solo exhibition at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space, New York, NY and Charpa Gallery, Valencia, Spain, and book project, First Sounds: The First 500 years in the Age of the Universe, Booklyn, Brooklyn.
