"From the Amazon to Antarctica - and now Times Square - a University of East London (UEL) academic is taking research on sustainability and human connection to one of the world’s most visible stages this Earth Day. Associate Professor Carl Hayden Smith will appear in New York on 22 April as part of OMMM's 'Love Your Mother', a major public Earth Day activation in Times Square bringing together global voices to celebrate and protect the natural world. The event marks the next phase of the project - Love Your Mother: From Concert to Global Youth Movement - and will serve as a high-profile public launch linked to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. As part of the programme, Associate Professor Hayden Smith, of UEL’s School of Arts and Creative Industries and the Sustainable Research Institute, will join a 20-minute panel exploring nature connection and land-based learning, alongside international contributors working across Mexico City and Bolivia. The session will focus on how people can reconnect with the natural world through education, culture and shared experience. Associate Professor Hayden Smith’s contribution builds on his work through the Museum of Consciousness, a global initiative he founded bringing together art, science and technology to explore what it means to be human. Through events and experiences around the world, the innovative research project encourages people to reflect on their relationship with the planet and the futures we are creating. This latest event highlights UEL’s commitment to sustainability, global collaboration and research with real-world impact, as well as the growing international reach of its academic work. Speaking about the project and the upcoming Times Square event, Associate Professor Carl Hayden Smith said, "This work is about reconnecting people with the living world in ways that are meaningful and accessible. Taking this to Times Square on Earth Day is a powerful moment - not just to share ideas, but to invite collective action and new ways of learning from nature.” Love Your Mother, presented by OMMM, EARTHDAY.ORG, and the Good News Corporation, will be streamed globally.

Hyperhuman @ Château du Feÿ Monday, April 20, 2026 3:00 PM to Sunday, April 26, 2026 4:00 PM Château du Feÿ Villecien, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, 89300 France The Hyperhuman week is an intensive lab experiment in designing the conditions that shape perception, cognition, and imagination. The week begins with an exploration of Context Engineering where we will treat context as a medium: participants learn to read the chateau, forest, group dynamics, and timetable as active interfaces, then adjust them deliberately to widen attention. This skill becomes the backbone for Holotechnica: composing repeatable experience stacks that convert short-lived state shifts into altered traits that remain when the stimulus and scaffolding drop away. From there, we will train in Double Consciousness, the capacity to hold more than one experiential field at once. Concretely, participants practice switching viewpoints: inner and outer experience, self and other, digital and physical, and private and public. The aim is clarity under split attention and layered perception to deepen agency rather than dilute it. Midweek, Umwelt Hacking moves the focus beyond the human default, using ecological and neurodiverse reference cases to destabilise a single “normal” model of intelligence and wisdom. We will consolidate a practical repertoire of Hyperhuman Methods for state regulation, perceptual widening, epistemic resilience, and relational capacity, each converted into daily protocols. The week culminates in a live Museum of Consciousness where participants will co-curate audio-based exhibits, practice high-resolution reporting, and discover a feedback loop between art, measurement, and iteration. Participants will leave the lab with a shared vocabulary, a personal operating system of hyperhuman protocols, and a clearer ethic for using technology as a scaffold rather than a substitute.

Todays techonologies are shaping us at scale. But most are optimized for the wrong feedback loops: Extraction over integration Stimulation over coherence Engagement over flourishing Attachment over regeneration What would it look like if we realign our design incentives? At the Cyberdelic Summit, this questions become central. Join us for a two-day immersive virtual gathering inside Topia A living cyberdelic virtual world of interactive art, live talks, and open spaces built for collective meaning making.
