A wide-ranging and necessary conversation with composer and performer Colin Self about redefining "health" for ambitious creators.

Joon Lee & Tracy Steepy on Creative Block, Healing, and the Body's Truth | Ultradilute Podcast

A live conversation with writer Joon Oluchi Lee and jeweler Tracy Steepy on how creative people uniquely define health and why it matters. For Lee, health is the luxury of forgetting the body entirely; for Steepy, it’s the rare feeling of being fully present and generative. Both have learned that creativity cannot be forced through discipline alone—it requires a body willing to meet you there. We explore what gets sacrificed in a world designed for extraction, and how to protect a creative practice in spaces that compress it. This dialogue reveals how homeopathy, rooted in listening deeply to the individual story, can help restore the conditions for making by helping you become yourself again.

From Classroom to Clinic: Opening a Homeopathy Practice, with Kristina Jermain | Ultradilute Podcast

A clear-eyed conversation with homeopath and former educator Kristina Jermain about the realities of launching a practice fresh out of school. Jermain’s path began when her daughter’s severe autism and PANS diagnosis led her beyond conventional medicine—and past non-classical homeopathy—to the gentle, profound efficacy of the classical tradition. Now, just one month into her practice at North Star Homeopathy, we discuss what it means to practice real medicine that is powerful enough to cause real effects. We explore core principles like the law of minimum dose, the critical importance of knowing when to refer patients, and a vision for healthcare built not on lifetime prescriptions, but on achieving a state of health where the practitioner is no longer needed.

Shaun Leonardo on The Body's Truth, Artistic Gesture, and Healing Trauma | Ultradilute Podcast

An in-depth conversation with artist and arts leader Shaun Leonardo about how creative practice reveals the body’s innate intelligence and capacity for transformation. Leonardo’s decade of work with incarcerated individuals and trauma survivors has led him to a radical premise: certain experiences cannot be processed through language alone. His methodology strips away narrative to access what he calls the "choreography of how we've learned to move in reaction to what happened to us"—the essential gestures that carry our deepest truths. We also explore the extractive nature of arts institutions and what organizational health looks like when human needs are centered.

Roddy Schrock on Creative Health, Radical Healing, and the Ultradilute Principle | Ultradilute Podcast

A recounting by arts organizer Roddy Schrock about his pivot to homeopathy and redefining wellness for creative people. Schrock unveils his new podcast, Ultradilute, as a space to explore what he terms "a radical healing technology." He argues that homeopathy and creativity are parallel processes, both operating through the subtle mechanisms of imagination and consciousness rather than conventional, material logic. Drawing from his decade directing a major arts nonprofit and nearly thirty years of Zen practice, Schrock examines the unique health challenges faced by creators. His methodology centers on "creative health", a practice of meeting individuals where their artistic vitality intersects with their wellbeing.

Getting the Story: A Conversation with Zachary Small

Today's conversation is with Zachary Small, staff reporter for the NY Times. I have been following their arts journalism since they wrote for Hyperallergic years ago. They're often the first to identify new, consequential developments in a field that thrives on change. A little less than a year ago, they became a staff reporter at the Times – a well deserved and enlightened hire. In particular, they have been hot on the trail of the NFT "situation" (remember that) and I suspect we'll be hearing much more about art and digital tokenization over the months and years ahead. Zach’s first book, “Token Supremacy: The Art of Finance, the Finance of Art, and the Great Crypto Crash of 2022,” will be published by Knopf in spring of this year. So it was a pleasure to be able to speak to them for Informer. Roddy Schrock, CHP, provides 100% online homeopathic care for creative people, entrepreneurs, and leaders.

Embracing Juxtaposition: Prem Krishnamurthy

Today's conversation is with Prem Krishnamurthy, designer, author, and educator. His multifaceted work explores the role of art as an agent of transformation at an individual, collective, and structural level. This manifests itself in books, exhibitions, images, performances, publications, systems, talks, texts, and workshops. He is one of those thinkers and makers whose brain is spinning out ideas and reflections as fast as you can absorb them. And I appreciate so much his emphasis on the importance of embracing juxtaposition as a prerequisite not only for artistic creativity but also as a key ingredient for healthy civic life. He argues that there is no singular America, but instead a multiplicity of Americas just as there is no singular individual: we are all collections of paradox and competing interests. We also talk about the ways in which the world will forever be hybrid, there's no going back to the old technologies. And how do we take what we learned from the "zoomacene" (his word) and build that into the ways in which we come together now. This conversation, and it was very much a conversation more an interview, was a joy. And I hope you find it to be inspiring and nourishing as well.

Conditions for Creativity: Ruby Lerner

If you are an artist, or someone who cares about the health and wellbeing of the arts in the United States, I think you will find this conversation to be both insightful and inspirational. There's only one Ruby and I am honored to be able to work with her through my directorship at Eyebeam, where she serves on the board. It was a pleasure to dig into the shifts in the culture since the meltdown of the NEA in the 90's to the current version of the culture wars we are experiencing now from her perspective, as an arts executive since the 80's. As she finalizes a new archive and website of her work and the artists that she has engaged with, this was a fine moment to capture conversations that we typically have offline.

What Does It Mean To Have A Body?: Sara Wookey

What does it mean to have a body that moves in three dimensional space in our current time? How do cultural institutions better relate to the public in a way that takes into consideration the massage changes in technology over the last three years? Can relating to the other than human beings help us learn how to be better partners to the planet? These are the types of questions London-based choreographer and dancer Sara Wookey dives into. She is one of the most interesting thinkers on the relationship of bodies and material space and how post-modern dance can open windows into more rational ways of understanding our bodies in space and, as she always points out, time. As she says, "we look back on the effects of the pandemic on the way that we choreograph ourselves in social interactions since the pandemic. We've had to raise our awareness of our three dimensional space." These days she is spending a lot of her time helping museums and other cultural organizations think through how they can take a more creative approach to engaging publics that are re-thinking their relationship to the material in the post-covid age. I spoke to Sara last fall so some time has passed and you'll notice our references to the season feel anomalous, unless you're in the southern hemisphere. But I'm glad that's the case because everything is shifting so quickly at the moment, it is sometimes helpful to get a snapshot of where things were at even just 5 months ago in order to gain some footing as to where we are now.

Infrastructure As Ideology

My friend, the designer and artist, Mushon Zer-Aviv was in town a few months ago so we sat down to catch up. Having worked in open, values-driven design in tech for the last two decades, Mushon goes deep into what he sees as being the mistakes of the early internet and how we can avoid them in the future. His thoughtfulness is always optimistic: as he says, he is a designer so he wants to design! He points to the contradictions inherent in our tendency to offload "ethics into infrastucture" and the kind of return of the tech bros singing the same song with web3. This is a wide-ranging conversation that points to so many of the current challenges while showing new paths to the future.
