#013 Takashi Kudo - How an artist collective is creative as a team

In this episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, we talk with Takashi Kudo, who is the Communications Director for TeamLab, a renowned art collective from Japan. https://www.ideatovalue.com/podc/nickskillicorn/2017/05/podcast-013-takashi-kudo-artist-collective-creative-team/  Referring to themselves as ultratechnologists, the group aims to go beyond the boundaries between art, science, technology and creativity, through co-creative activities. TeamLab is best known for its ingenious art installations based on light and projection, and in contrast to many traditional collectives, is made up of not only artists but also engineers, programmers, animators and mathematicians. In addition to gallery artworks, they also produce other digital content like applications, performance shows and specialist websites. We discuss how these hyper-creative groups develop art which pushes boundaries.
