<description>&lt;div&gt;A new artist-led podcast from &lt;strong&gt;Timur Si-Qin &lt;/strong&gt;exploring how our health is intimately tied to the health of the natural world, as part of &lt;em&gt;Hyper Functional, Ultra Healthy.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;br&gt; Drawing from religious history, contrasting western and Indigenous cultural relationships with nature, and the desired shift towards a spirituality of symbiosis, artist Timur Si-Qin unpacks the ideas at the centre of his upcoming essay &lt;em&gt;Heaven Is Sick &lt;/em&gt;as well as &lt;em&gt;New Peace&lt;/em&gt; - Si-Qin’s artwork, brand and ‘protocol’ developed in the wake of climate change.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;em&gt;Hyper Functional, Ultra Healthy&lt;/em&gt; is a dynamic programme of new commissions, films, workshops, and conversations considering both our individual health and collective wellbeing by exploring societal and ecological issues that affect both people and planet.   &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; About the artist &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Artist Timur Si-Qin’s interests in contemporary philosophy, the evolution of culture, and the dynamics of cognition take form in branded ecosystems and installations of 3D printed sculptures, light-boxes, and VR. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Si-Qin’s works seek to think beyond the anthropocentric dualisms at the centre of western consciousness. Si-Qin’s long term project is the proposal of a new secular faith in the face of climate change called New Peace. Drawing from disparate disciplines like the Anthropology of Religion, Marketing Psychology, and Object Oriented Ontology, Si-Qin understands spiritualities as cultural softwares capable of deep behavioral and political intervention. New Peace is thus a new protocol for the necessary renegotiation of our conceptual and spiritual relationship with the non-human. New Peace is an artwork, a brand, a sect, and self propagating memetic machine. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;em&gt;Hyper Functional, Ultra Healthy&lt;/em&gt; is kindly supported by the Adonyeva Foundation.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Music featured:&lt;br&gt; Oliver Barrett - Solo Cello (Live at Cafe OTO) &lt;br&gt; Anthony Pateras &amp;amp; Vilerio Tricoli - Solo (Revox)&lt;br&gt; A Paranoid Android - Walking Blind in New York&lt;br&gt; Mystified - Mystic Steam&lt;br&gt; KM Krebs - Etorpasle&lt;br&gt; Eli Keszler - Solo - Live at Cafe OTO (Sat 25 May 2013)&lt;/div&gt; </description>
