In this episode of 'The Truth in This Art,' host Rob Lee speaks with Ryan Havers, also known as Ears with Eyes, an electro-punk performance artist who critiques corporate culture, workaholism, and mental health through his unconventional music and stage shows. Drawing inspiration from artists like Iggy Pop, The Stranglers, Beck, and Tim & Eric, Ryan incorporates elements of absurdity and satire into his work. They discuss Ryan's early influences, his journey into music, the creative process, and his thoughts on how corporate norms affect personal well-being. The conversation also touches on Ryan's upcoming project, wEARd, an online course designed to help others embrace unconventional music and creativity.
