ENESS On Interactive Public Art Installations

1h 32m · OnProcess · 04 May 07:46

I had the pleasure of speaking to Nimrod Weis, one of the co-founders of the extremely creative, highly inventive and wonderfully playful studio ENESS. ENESS is an art and technology company who design evocative interactive experiences for public, commercial and cultural entities. The work that ENESS produces is able to hit that sweet spot of art that is able delight both a 6 year old and a 60 year old simultaneously, they are also masters of balancing art, commerce, technology and design. During our conversation we dive into the inception of the studio and how from day one Nimrod and his business partner have been reinvesting every spare dime and minute back into the work. We go through Nimrods creative routine and practices and uncover the correlation between a high performing athlete and an artist. It is really fabulous to hear the inner-workings and thoughts on process and the creative practice from Nimrod and we end up diving pretty deep into the psychology of creativity and curiosity. Join us as we uncover quantum physics, discover why the goal isn't to have no problems at all but rather to have more interesting problems and why nimrod sits on the floor. Introducing ENESS On Interactive Public Art Installations.

Quotes

"The focus now for me and for us, is what problems are we solving, what messages are we conveying , what feelings are we evoking and then apply technology to it. "

"Use what is within your means."

"It's risk that allows for that element of something new."

" I kind of never stop in the sense of imagining or being curious."

"If you imagine an athlete, you think of someone waking up at 5:30 in the morning, and you think about a creative, I'm not seeing them getting up that early."

"We are entertaining a 6 year old and a we’re entertaining a 60 year old."

Kyle Steed On Art (Round 2)

The wise, intentional, creative and incredibly heartfelt Kyle Steed is back with us for a round 2 interview! We we were able to go a bit deeper in this one having set things up last time to talk about the muse, creative resistance, whether inspiration exists and beyond. Kyle takes us through the twists and turns of his creative career including his time in the airforce. We uncover some very interesting thoughts around self belief, internal narrative and how this shapes how we view ourselves. And perhaps my favourite part of the whole chat, equally enjoyable and uncomfortable, we get into paradoxes of life, art and beyond. Kyle has this great ability to very quickly get to the heart of an idea and bring everything back in perspective that I admire, so enjoy this chat with Kyle Steed, again.
