Jonathon Keats is an experimental philosopher, artist, and writer whose multidisciplinary projects explore all aspects of society, adapting methods from the sciences and the humanities. He is a research associate at the University of Arizona’s College of Fine Arts, a fellow at the Berggruen Institute, a research fellow at the Highland Institute and the Long Now Foundation, principal philosopher at Earth Law Center, and an artist-in-residence at the SETI Institute and Biosphere 2. He advises the University of Zürich on metadisciplinary studies and co-directs the Consortium for Climate-Adapted Architectural Heritage at the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics.
He has exhibited and lectured at dozens of institutions worldwide, from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to Stanford University to the Triennale di Milano, and from SXSW to CERN to UNESCO. He is the author of six books on subjects ranging from science and technology to art and design – most recently You Belong to the Universe: Buckminster Fuller and the Future, published by Oxford University Press – and is the author of an online art column for Forbes. He is currently writing a field guide to more-than-human governance, which will be published by the Berggruen Institute Press.
A monograph about Keats’ artwork, Thought Experiments, was recently published by Hirmer Verlag. His archive is held by the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art.
