Directive
“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.”

- Neil Armstrong


As a species, studio iedman believes, we won’t have a future if we don’t change the way we think.

What we need is not a technological revolution, but a spiritual one. Can we stop separating ourselves and acknowledge that we need others to thrive?

The primary goal of Studio Iedman is to envision and inspire a future in which all humans, animals, and other living beings can prosper.
