The Renaissance Man

The Renaissance Man played a pivotal role in transitioning humanity from the Medieval Ages into modernity. This era is best known for the revival of classical antiquity and unprecedented social change.

Alberti was a true Renaissance Man, with expertise in fields ranging from law and art to philosophy and cryptography. Alberti's mastery of cryptography was particularly notable, and the Vatican even hired him to analyze protocols for keeping sensitive information secure.

While studying the history of alternative medicine, I noticed the act of aesthetically altering the body to resurface itself repeatedly. The ancient Indian Kama Sutra, for example, prescribes the insertion of pins and the implantation of objects into specific spots on our reproductive organs for excellent sexual health.        I present a fusion of acupuncture with body art, a healing modality that works by understanding that the bod

One example of this evolution is the Enigma machine, which is based on the 15th-century Alberti polyalphabetic substitution cipher disk. This disk, invented by Leon Battista Alberti in 147, was used to encrypt messages for the Vatican and is considered a precursor to modern computers. For more information on Alberti, check out "The Renaissance Man: Portrait of a Spymaster."
