Let Creativity...

David Feinberg: Experimental Light Project

Welcome to Season 3, episode 4, our guest today is DAVID FEINBERG.

David is a lot…a comedian, a podcast host, a video artist and a creative enthusiast, and a teacher of non-violent communication. Before we started the podcast, he was thoughtful enough to ask what my pronouns are. I think that speaks volumes about David’s character and from my point of view, there is a pureness about him that makes his passion for his art intense…which is ironic because as you will hear, David uses filters and liquids to make abstract designs on and through video projection.

Such a fun conversation, and David speaks eloquently about what video art is and how he does it.

Enjoy!

***Oh, and he is looking for a visual synthesist or video artist intern, please contact him if interested****
