Keeley Horne is a painter with a large-scale immersive exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. She's been heralded as the post-immortality Hilma af Klint (surrealist painter decades before Surrealism) for her otherworldly pieces. Viewers universally call the show "familiar... as if from a forgotten dream". Several art lovers have had to leave the exhibit following panic attacks.

We talk about art, brain tumors, and the spirit realm.

Welcome to Deathless

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 18:00:00 -0400

It's been almost 10 years since The Event. Almost 10 years since this global phenomenon that changed everything we know about science, medicine, life in general. Almost 10 years since the last time a person died. We keep aging, we get hurt, we get sick. But we just won't die.
Obviously, none of this is news to you. But as we approach the double digit anniversary of immortality, it's been taking up a lot of my brain space. There's something about 10 years that makes it feel realer, somehow. Like, maybe it's not just a blip. Maybe this is just how it is. Forever.
And that's pretty fucking scary. Not to mention depressing. So I did what any depressed person would do... I made a podcast.
I started reaching out to people all over the world, from all ages and backgrounds. People with unique relationships to death and immortality. Looking for anyone who could help me answer the ultimate question: Does life still have meaning if it never ends?
And I heard back. I interviewed a painter, a drag queen, a rabbi, an author, a comedian, a former cult member, a CEO, and a porn star.
Our conversations were hilarious, heartbreaking, and ultimately, hopeful. And now I'm going to share them with you. I'm your host Rowan Meyer, and this... is Deathless.
