Recipes for the Mind - Kickstarter Rewards -

May 2

Welcome !! Following are some of the higher end and special rewards for supporting this project. I am selling my upstate New York studio of twenty years in order to move west, to be fully present at the SETI Institute. As such I am offering favorite personal pieces at near production cost. If you have seen something in a gallery or museum show that you might like please feel free to inquire. Your help is vital and incredibly appreciated. All proceeds go towards the book - which I am very excited about. You may sign up for these items and/or contribute to the Kickstarter campaign to publish Recipes for the Mind (click title for link to the artworks.)

Charles Lindsay

Charles Lindsay is an intermedia artist whose work explores the frontiers of technology, storytelling, and the cosmos. A Guggenheim Fellow, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the SETI Institute’s Artist in Residence program (SETI AIR), Lindsay creates immersive installations that fuse salvaged aerospace components, AI-generated visuals, and biomorphic soundscapes into powerful vehicles for reimagining narrative. His projects ask provocative questions—what if an AI could dream? What if a Mars rover became a Zen monk?

Lindsay has collaborated with NASA Ames, Bell Labs, and exhibited globally, including at the MIT Media Lab. At SETI, he explored conceptual links between whale communication, Morse code, and AI pattern recognition. A dream in Kyoto—of a parking meter selling time and space in a Zen garden—became a realized installation, blending ancient philosophy with digital inquiry.

As an early alpha tester for OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video platform and a lifelong lucid dreamer, Lindsay pushes the limits of how AI can amplify human consciousness. His installations function as sensory laboratories, inviting audiences to navigate the terrain between digital revelation, aesthetic curiosity, and the collective unconscious. With humor, paradox, and deep curiosity, Lindsay’s work imagines new frontiers for art, science, and the soul.
