Ep68. Immersive Art, A.I. & Illuminating Possibility: Meet Chaske Haverkos, Featured Artist of BLINK, the Nation’s Largest Light, Art, and Projection Mapping Festival
Description
Move over Burning Man — Cincinnati is showing how a city can become a canvas of possibility, illuminating art’s power to bring communities together to collectively experience wonder and awe.
Our guest today is Chaske Haverkos, director, motion designer, 3d animator, and immersive artist. He’s one of four artists selected to illuminate Music Hall, which is not only a historic and iconic building in Cincinnati but also the biggest canvas during BLINK.
Taking place October 17-20 for its fourth edition, BLINK is a breathtaking four-night free public festival that transforms Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky into a vibrant, open-air immersive gallery. As the nation's largest light, art, and projection mapping experience, BLINK welcomes over 2 million visitors to experience 80 stunning installations brought to life by local and international artists in an exhibition space spanning 30 city blocks. Cincinnati was also named the number one city in the United States for street art by USA Today this year. The city’s 300 awe-inspiring outdoor murals come alive in the evening during BLINK.
Originally from Cincinnati, Chaske is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP School of Design. He’s operated in the advertising, creative, and entertainment fields for over 15 years, working with a diversity of clients to help create rich visual content and engaging experiences for all audiences. Chaske’s love of creating frames of all types, both analog and digital, in a variety of mediums — and at any scale — shines through in his animations, motion graphics, and immersive installations.
Today, you'll hear Chaske's journey into projection mapping and immersive art, how he integrates A.I. into his creative process, and his perspective on the evolving relationship between artists and artificial intelligence. We also discuss the technical challenges of working at such a large scale, his approach to crafting experiences for live audiences, and his vision for the future of immersive art.
Discover how Chaske pushes the boundaries of art and emerging technology for his largest canvas to date, the façade of an iconic 140-year-old building — enjoy!
