Introduction to the concept of emptiness as a basis for a techno-spiritual design

Abstract

In this essay I want to explore what is meant by emptiness in Buddhist theory and how this concept can be applied to all material and immaterial phenomena. I will explain how deeply understanding of this concept may lead to the end of suffering. I will briefly introduce the wisdom interventions I intent to design and explain how they might make this abstract concept of emptiness tangible and accessible. This essay therefore is written as an exercise: I want to get a firm grip on the concept of emptiness to make my interventions more to the point and more impactful. I also hope it will be of value to people who are interested in Buddhism, mindfulness or (Zen) meditation, to those who take an interest in my artistic work or who are interested in techno-spirituality in general.
