Become a Sci-Fi Character - Desirée Holman

Season 2 Episode 18 | 8m 25s | CC

This week we sit down with artist Desirée Holman to talk about her current project, Sophont, which explores ideas of science fiction, aliens, new-age ideology, mysticism, and tech culture. Her assignment asks you to become a science fiction character by creating and wearing some kind of psionics hardware that enhances your character's abilities.
