In this conversation we speak to Ben Mason from The BetterplaceLab. For the past few years Ben has been working in the social sector, researching how digitization affects mass migration and the European refugee crisis. Although we do venture into those topics, in this conversation we also speak about his personal practise of meditation, body work, and how he perceives his own life narrative.

Ben. Inner Work, Technology and Narratives.

Being Underwater is a project about inner life in the digital age. Hosted by social entrepreneur and anthropologist Joana Breidenbach, this series of interviews tries to uncover the language we use to describe our inner worlds, as well as the tools or practices that help us decipher them. These conversations are important to engage in at any time, however with the onset of the digital age, they present a new urgency. As machines and algorithms threaten to know and understand us better than we do ourselves, we are faced with an evolutionary pressure to expand our consciousness and comprehend greater amounts of complexity. We must understand who we are, and what it is that we want, in order to define our relationship with technology, rather than allowing technology to define us. The project was conceived by Joana Breidenbach and edited by Siena Powers. Angus Sewell McCann composed the main theme music, and Vincent Augustus mixed the second theme. All visuals were created by Florentin Aisslinger.
