28: GMUNK -- Director & Designer, On Creative Adrenaline, Soul Extraction & Strobe Lights
“Recording our twenty eighth episode, the guest of honor today is Bradley G. Munkowitz. Director and digital artist, Bradley has created work for films such as Tron: Legacy, musicians like Tycho & Grimes, brands such as Audi, Nike, Maserati, Dolby and more. He's made a name for himself with elaborate practical setups, often involving robots, in pieces like The Box, Telestron, Orbis Integra and more. GMUNK has spoken at so many conferences and media outlets across the world, I'm not even going to start listing them. If you're listening to this, you know who he is. Calling from Berkeley, California, a very special thanks to Bradley for making the time.”
