Participatory Artistic Experiences with Will Owen

On this episode of Experience by Design, we welcome artist Will Owen to the show. Will's background growing up in Appalachia prepared him to treat the world as a maker's space, providing endless opportunities to create artistic experiences, satisfy his endless curiosity, and have fun collaborating with friends. I talk with Will about the importance of creating porousness to invite audience participation in art, the importance of building microcommunities, and the importance of doing weird things together. We also talk about his international collaborations, self-organized punk show, Moonshiners, making an ice cream flavor about the history of penicillin production.

This is experience by design, a podcast that brings new perspectives to the experiences we have everyday. Does standing in line always have to suck? Why are airports so uncomfortable? What does it mean to be loyal to a brand? Why do you love being connected but dislike feeling tethered to your smart phone? Can we train people to care about the climate? Join Sociologist Gary David and Anthropologist Adam Gamwell on an expedition to the frontiers of culture and business through the lens of human experience. We're here to make sense of the madness with leading psychologists, cognitive and social scientists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.
