RMV 26 Purin Phanichphant: You Can Design Tiny New Rituals To Spark Joy Throughout Your Day

Today we are delighted to welcome artist, designer, and educator
Purin Phanichiphant. With his roots in Northern Thailand, where
he spent part of his life as a Buddhist monk, combined with his
background in designing innovative products in Silicon Valley,
Purin’s work reminds us to take a pause, play, touch, and take
joy in simplicity.


Whether it’s rethinking cultural rituals or using art to examine
the parallels between the universe and the brain, Purin’s
interactive objects and installations engage people in
co-creation.


Let’s listen in as Purin shares his perspective on the infinite
potential of creativity, and how you can turn mindless routines
into more mindful rituals, especially now when it’s harder to
engage in the shared societal rituals we’ve always relied on.
