His research looks critically and theoretically at aspects of the green economy, from biomimicry and human-nature relations, to the techno-fetish of mainstream environmentalism. He has recently collaborated on the publication of the Rare Earth Catalog: Tools For Reckoning with the Anthropocene, and is currently working on a book titled Planetary Improvement: Cleantech and the New Green Spirit of Capitalism. He is a former member of the artist studio and collective Space 1026 (Philadelphia, PA), and still makes art, occasionally.
