What I Just Did Was MAGIC! (with Ben Barry)

Feeling too arty for the nerds and too nerdy for the artists? Did I Do That? is the sweet spot for you! The great Ben Barry (co-founder of the Facebook Analog Research Laboratory and founder of Nonlinear) joins Sean to talk about edible arrangements for Spring, the secondary market for guillotines, and realizing that it’s time (for Frasier) to move on (from the hit NBC sitcom Frasier).You can find Ben’s work on his personal site, benbarry.com; that’s also where you can find links to his prints and book through particular.co. Ben brought me a copy of his book One Hundred Patterns and I can’t recommend it highly enough; it is more than 200 pages of gorgeous offset-printed patterns! Ben writes about all things tech on his blog, Active Matrix. Finally, you can find some of his more recent work on both Instagram and Threads as @benbarry.This episode was recorded March 8, 2025 in the Rat’s Nest.
