Cinematic Espresso Shots By Hannah Piercey If Aristotle were alive today, to paraphrase a famous Timothy Leary adage, he would have a Vimeo channel. So believes Jason Silva, a young futurist and filmmaker with movie-star looks and a childlike sense of wonder. It’s no coincidence that Silva has been described as “a Leary for the viral video age” by The Atlantic correspondent Ross Andersen—and he could be considered, in a way, a hip, 21st century heir to Aristotle. Silva’s online micro-documentaries, starring Silva himself and exploring the “co-evolution of humans and technology,” are deeply philosophical in an average running time of less than three minutes. Leary’s notion of the philosopher as a performer is a natural fit for Silva. Silva double-majored in film and philosophy at the University of Miami. Silva received his first camera at age 12 and became immediately obsessed. After nearly five years at Current and feeling ready for a new challenge, Silva left the channel to produce videos independently.
