Why it exists
Much of life is explained through categories, data, systems, and expectations. HTBN pays attention to the distance between those explanations and what people actually experience.
About
What is HTBN?
How To Be Nothing is human-centered new media.
What HTBN does
We start with everyday human experience, then look closer at what shapes how we work, make a living, grow, relate, and live together.
Why “How To Be Nothing”
“Nothing” does not describe an absence of purpose. It makes room to look again before forcing a person, an experience, or a question into a ready-made conclusion.
What we pay attention to
Working With People
What does it actually feel like to work with other people?
Making a Living
What does it take to feel secure and have enough?
Becoming & Belonging
How do we grow, change, and find where we belong?
Living Together
How do we live alongside other people and the systems around us?
