The Arthemist
The Arthemist works towards placing energy into ideas, creating objects and moments that are not from our society, and opening up new paradigms of living. These objects or moments are energy containers. The function of which is to give to those who chose to interact with said energy containers. By giving, one enables people to expand beyond who they are, and therefore one is growing humanity.
