Hi, I’m Lyndon.
I’m a multimedia artist, musician, and independent researcher specialising in nuclear weapons policy. My research and creative practices explore the politics, technologies, and economics of nuclear disarmament and deterrence (tl;dr – nuclear weapons policy is absurd, anti-democratic, and anti-scientific).
“Nuclear clown is sad” from my “Nuclear Circus” series. Exhibited in Artists against the Bomb group show, Judd Foundation NYC, Nov-Dec 2023.
My research and creative practices also explore how networks supported by blockchain technologies could become transformative tools that enable us to imagine new social, political, and economic structures inspired by and optimised for human and planetary security.
I’m most interested in how the transparency, accountability, and automation of mutual aid made possible by blockchain networks could be used to craft a more equitable sharing of power from the local to the global, and greater solidarity among humans and with the more-than-human world.
I’m a visiting research associate at King’s College London, a member of the New Technologies for Peace working group in the Vatican’s COVID-19 Commission, and a co-founder of PATH Collective LLC.
PATH Collective (PATH stands for Peace, Art, Technology, Humanity) is a for-profit nuclear disarmament company whose mission is to make peace profitable. Our mission is based on a theory of change that invites changemakers to consider the impacts of social and financial incentives on political outcomes. PATH Collective’s goals include helping to bring new types of funding to communities pursuing humanitarian approaches to the inhumanity of nuclear weapons; to foster and support new forms of storytelling in partnership with those communities; and to broaden the nuclear conversation by inviting more artists and creatives to (re)join the debate.
