History

History is a reading of changing connections:
the knots formed between humanity, the body,
nature, technology, and the universe.

History flow

From deep time
to here and now.

From the universe to the body, and the body to the present.

Past → Musubi → Future

We study history not to return to the past,
but to ask how we might bring together
the wisdom it holds,
the technologies of the present,
and the future still to come.
