  • Summary

  • The Visual Cast is A uniquely visual, recorded live, hybrid podcast! We interview visual artists of all kinds from all walks of life. Every guest does a "set", where they can share with us anything - it can be a live VJ set, a deep dive into a workflow or even a show and tell of an up and coming project!! Through the set we get to see the guest in a state of flow and comfort while we discuss, react and converse!

    We have arrived at Episode 31 and this weeks guest is my dear and close friend Spencer Sterling / ‪@spencersterling1565‬ An Audio/Visual swiss army knife! Spencer is my go to guy when i have issues or am stuck with something, his knowledge is super widespread. He has worked on massive commercial shows for ‪@SilentPartnersStudio‬ working with the likes of Katy Perry, Beyonce and many many more, he more recently was poached by the massive AI company ‪@RunwayML‬ to work on secret projects for them and since has engrossed himself in the current AI boom. We had an awe inspiring convo jumping from Spencer learning TouchDesigner in college to finding notch, to the massive differences of working on your own projects and massive commercial shows, to the ins and outs of stable diffusion and some truly interesting history and current trajectory of AI in general. For Spencer's SET he showcases for us the absolutely insane Laser mapping set up he has built with ‪@TouchDesignerOfficial‬ , ‪@NotchVFX‬ and ‪@Ableton‬ , it's quite fascinating and extremely inspiring.
