Kelly Heaton is a cross-disciplinary artist, engineer, and visionary who works with electricity. She is fascinated by what makes things alive and conscious. Her art is hard to categorize because it vibrates conceptually and often literally, too. Heaton uses oscillating electronics to explore the building blocks of machine intelligence and to create circuits with life-like behaviors. Her artistic circuits are conduits for her core message that we are electrical beings connected in a universal system. Humans can be electrifying, illuminating, and magnetic, or we can abuse our power and short-circuit. Heaton wants to blow your mind in a positive way—as a friendly invitation to mutual growth and heartfelt expansion. In our conversation, Kelly shares with us the struggles that come with creating a new and unknown artistic genre. She shares her love for nature, electricity, and the aliveness of circuits, inspiring us to see that we too are circuits and part of a greater circuit. This episode will expand your understanding of your relationship with electricity and consciousness, as she helps us remember that "art is the life"  For more from Kelly: Visit Kelly's website: https://www.kellyheatonstudio.com Follow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelly_heaton/ For more from Alicia: Follow Alicia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aliciapetersonbaskel/ Sign up for a 1:1 or Group Breathwork: https://linktr.ee/aliciapetersonbaskel
