serj solarpunk
hey 👋 i'm serj. i integrate science and spirituality and gift it to the world through art and technology. i believe the most radical thing we can do right now is become more fully human — what i've been calling super-normal.
i build tools that enhance what's uniquely human — like holon, a suite of tools for AI agents to maximise florishing. i design AI pedagogy for schools redesigning for high-agency learning through city as a school. i map regenerative communities at solarpunklist.com. and through novasilk road, my creative studio, i build ceremonial art installations where ancient practice meets emerging tech.
i previously co-founded chipp, was on the founding team at human systems, now called the meaning alignment institute working on aligning systems to human values. I’ve also helped 40K+ people build second brains.
three words guide everything i do: rehumanise. regenerate. remember. if you're building at the intersection of wisdom traditions and frontier technology, or just making the world a better place, let’s collab.
