Ben’s use of media arts to stimulate healing and foster community and new cultural networks is best understood as KAOS theory. This describes an expressive system and spiral of existence and creative exploration.

Ben believes that there is no easy separation between life, art and media. Human bodies can become mountains, there is movement in still images, walls can speak. He maintains that media and art at their highest forms are foregrounded by communally constituted ethics and ancestral systems of belief, knowing and love.
