His work with interactive documentary (2007–2018) combined the sensibilities of the digital and physical worlds by using algorithmic rule sets to govern data collection in real-life situations. These ritualistic experiments included The Whale Hunt, I Love Your Work, Balloons of Bhutan, and Today. The latter evolved into Cowbird, a storytelling platform open to all, which ended up amassing 100,000 stories from 25,000 authors in 200 countries — until the growing trend of Internet addiction prompted its closure in 2017. He explored these dynamics in the visual essays World Building in a Crazy World, Modern Medicine, Data Will Help Us, and Navigating Stuckness.
His work with magical ritual (2015–2022) was centered at High Acres Farm, his ancestral home in Vermont. He spent seven years working to alchemize old family patterns there, exploring what he came to call Life Art through a series of 21 radical rituals and matching films — ultimately released in 2022 as the autobiographical opus In Fragments. The spiritual origins of this project are outlined in the essays Powers of Ten and Working with Life.
His current practice of wisdom work (2024–) happens through Sunlight — a growing collection of teachings through handmade original artwork.
He lives between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Shelburne, Vermont, where he continues to serve as a steward of High Acres Farm and Linestone Collective.
