Hi! I’m Scott Beibin!
I’m an inventor, researcher and creative technologist focusing on the intersection of science, art and activism. I’m a founder and co-founder of many projects and organizations. I love to seek out the spaces and places where new ideas take form and new language emerges.
I’m a huge fan of the Do-It-Yourself ethic as well as knowledge sharing and the Do-It-Together ethic. Much of my creative work is designed to encourage deep curiosity and creativity while happening through a lens of experimentation and problem solving (with culture jamming and educational components woven in).
My current projects focus on space analog research, liberation eco-technologies, archaeology and archaeoacoustics, open source hardware design, off-grid power production, LiDAR scanning, 3D printed eco-construction and LoRa mesh networking.
My music projects often serve as a space for elaborate science experiments, and have included the creation of an audio process prototype that simulates the acoustic properties of Mars, as well visualizing sound in ancient architectural spaces. My musical compositions often incorporate my research into archaeoacoustics, astroacoustics, bioacoustics, and psychoacoustics.
I have a lifelong deep fascination with real-life experiments in human autonomy and exercises in communitarianism and decentralized coordination – including consensus decisionmaking and organizations run as collectives and cooperatives. It’s especially exciting to me when these processes are understood and described in a technical way. I’m also a huge fan of consciousness exploration and anything that promotes self realization and self improvement.
And finally, I am also a huge fan of impromptu jam sessions, building sculptures out of dumpstered and found objects and vegan picnics held in peculiar and remote locales.
See you out in the world somewhere!
Some of My Projects + Organizations

AncientScan is a project that focuses on the non-invasive documentation of ancient spaces and artifacts by utilizing advanced 3D scanning and visualization techniques including LiDAR and photogrammetry.

Archaeoacoustic Artifacts is a project focusing on developing a better understanding of the deliberate acoustic design found in ancient architectural spaces around the globe.

Evil Twin Booking Agency is a project that I co-founded and run with Elizabeth Jane Cole. Our motto is “Entertainment For People Who Think and Act”. We were founded in order to give a broader platform for important ideas. We’ve been a horizontal organization since 2002 and represent speakers like Boots Riley, Nadya Tolokonnikova, The Yes Men, Onyx Ashanti and many other amazing thinkers. eviltwinbooking.org

Groucho Fractal is a science comedy liberation-ecotech stage performance that I tour with on occasion where audience members make 3d printed organic vegan snacks on the Mandelbot SURFA, a bike powered 3d food printer.

Mandelbot Ecotech focuses on the development of ecologically sound and parametrically designed radically open source hardware. It’s the project behind the Mandelbot SURFA (Scalable Universal Robotic Frame Assembly) and the Goostruder.

M.A.R.S Tesseract Habitats
M.A.R.S Tesseract Habitats are the first offerings by Offworld Voyage, intended as ecologically sustainable and plant based Space Analog Research habitats.

Music on Mars?
Music on Mars? is an audio process software prototype that simulates the acoustic properties of Mars based upon data from the Mars Perseverance Rover SuperCam (co-created with my friend John Knott)

Offworld Voyage is an Space Analog Research project solving for offworld exploration and climate biodevastation on Earth through the development of ecologically sustainable, all-vegan,zero-waste astronaut training habitats.

Ptelepathetique
Ptelepathetique is a spectral-melodic electronic music project focused on experiments in sound design incorporating psychoacoustics and archaeoacoustics. I travel the globe and play sets in all kinds of locales using my off-grid power set up. Releases to be announced in late 2026 on the Things That Should Exist label.

Things That Should Exist
Things That Should Exist is a label dedicated releases of my creative work as well as the work of my friends. Coming Soon!

Unsolicited Advice
Are you looking for advice that you need but didn’t know you needed? Perhaps you’ve come to the right place.
Here are some of my recent presentations:
WHY 2025 – Offworld Voyage: Can Training for Mars Exploration Also Address Human Adaptation to Climate Bio-devastation on Earth?
This talk presents the design philosophy behind Offworld Voyage, a decentralized science initiative that develops ecologically sustainable training habitats for use in simulated Mars surface exploration missions – while also solving for adaptation to extreme climate change on Earth.
re:publica 25: Offworld Voyage: Designing A Plant Based Mars Base
Can training for Mars exploration also solve for adaptation to climate biodevastation on Earth?
Scott Beibin – Mandelbot Ecotech [Autonomous Ecologies #2]
Autonomous Ecologies #2 was organized by Black Sky Society, Anoma, and Knowable and took place July 16, 2023 in Paris.
HCPP22 | Scott Beibin – Mandelbot Ecotech (A design philosophy)
In this talk, inventor Scott Beibin will be sharing the Mandelbot Ecotech philosophy that he developed for ecological machine design that respects human freedom and autonomy.
