Show Notes
Eli (Head of Art, PROOF) has an enlightening conversation with Sterling Crispin, an engineer, conceptual artist, and contributor to Apple's Vision Pro. Sterling's unique background in multimedia engineering and fine art has led him to explore the intersection of technology and nature in his work.
The two also discussed Sterling's NFT artworks Neophyte and Flourish, and the inspirations behind each. Sterling shares insights into machine learning and what led to his work on the “deeply psychedelic” Apple Vision Pro, and offers his thoughts on the potential impact of the headset on our everyday lives.
