John Mack

John Mack is an author, artist, speaker and founder of the nonprofit, Life Calling, whose mission is to preserve our humanity in the Digital Age. Over the past decade John has brought to the forefront deeper issues of our humanity in light of our increasing dependence on smart-devices and rising AI. In September 2022 Mack debuted Life Calling’s signature program A Species Between Worlds: Our Nature, Our Screens in New York City, a public educational forum and immersive exhibition which serves as an invitation to contemplate our relationship to our devices and the surrounding world while inciting the introspection needed to prevent the loss of our humanity. A boutique version of the exhibition represented the USA Pavilion at London Design Biennale 2023 at Somerset House, endorsed by the US Embassy and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Mack was an honoree of The Explorer’s Club 50: Fifty people changing the world who the world needs to know about. Amongst other affiliations, Mack serves as a board member of Fairplay, an organization that strives to create a world where kids can be kids, free from the false promises of marketers and the manipulations of Big Tech. He is a member of Forward Global, Nexus Global and an advisor to the Be Kind Tech Fund by Globant Ventures.
