Hi Jeremy and Rafaël!
I liked how in your last podcast you made a distinction between fear and joy and the questions you get about it. So I send you two questions, one for fear and one for joy. - Intton Godelg.
https://www.instagram.com/intton/

169 - Questions Of Fear And Joy

This week’s topic comes from Flora Miranda:

... how you choose which programmer fits for which project. Rafaël, you work with the same person for most of your works, but work with 2 more as you told in the last episode.
How do you select these people? Regarding skillset, do you even know enough about the skills/technology to be able to judge if they are the right fit? Regarding past work, do you judge if they have worked with artist before or would you also work with a programmer who is totally new to the creative world? Personal level, how do you have to click with them personally, do you judge according to 'would I have coffee with this person'?
And same question to Jeremy, of course. I think in your organisational experience, you must have seen things happening daily. And also when installing AR exhibitions...
Furthermore, I would love to hear stories of when things went wonderfully fruitful with programmers, how programmers have inspired your thinking. 
But also, when the knowledge was far apart from each other, you picked the 'wrong person' or just any other failed operations.
Also, where can one find programmers for art projects? Is it even possible to pay them, as there might be a big wage gap between artists and programmers? 

What about yourselves? Do you program? If not, have you not naturally picked up some code-thinking over the years? 

Let's demystify the 'programmer'! :)

This week Jesper Nørbæk asks us: 
What role does fun play in choosing what work you do?
Will you change how you work to have more fun?
Is having fun while working a goal in itself for you?

This week we talk about freedom. We keep talking about it until the word loses all meaning.

186 - Art/Design & Artist Interviews

This week, 2 questions merged into one episode:

Kris Meeusen 
https://www.lab101.be/
“When I work on something there is always this big tension between feeling excited or annoyed.
The excitement usually comes from seeing something from a new angle which results in something that looks fresh and exciting to me. I get annoyed when the opposite happens, my explorations turn out to be boring or obvious. When this happens it's really difficult to stop working on it and let it rest , which I think is the best solution... Do you experience the same?

Mark Rabo
https://www.markrabo.com/
How do you think about time in your projects? Do you have an amount in mind when you start, or do you give things space? I find time to be one of the strongest influences on a project, good and bad. It can focus but also stress. With enough time, we change as people which changes the project. In my own experience, I started a project with a plan to be done in 6 months – I'm still working on it 7 years later. It's cliche to say I wouldn't have started if I'd known that, but I'm sure glad i did. I'd love to hear your thoughts on time as related to creative or meaningful work.

It's the end of summer! This episode we catch up because it's been a while.

193 - End Of Summer

2 questions:

Ariel Baron-Robbins asks: I’ve been debating what to call contemporary art that incorporates technology like computers, internet, blockchain, AI, software, and apps. Some artists prefer simply “contemporary art”, questioning the need to distinguish it from other forms. Yet, we differentiate between paintings, sculptures, drawings, and videos without issue….which brings me back to square one. 
https://www.instagram.com/arielbaronrobbinsart/

Pyry Qvick asks: I recently won a poetry competition and now my book will be published. That has prompted some questions in my mind, since I have assumptions of my own on what people think of poets. Have you folks encountered unconfortable presumptios on being an artist? How do you deal with the possible stereotypes attach to you in terms of being an artist.

194 - Who Am I

Linda Loh asks:

I am curious for you to dig more deeply into what Jeremy said recently about being averse to video art being projected, that it was a no no for that medium, because presumably it "belongs" on a screen.

This week, a question from Hans Verhaegen 
https://www.hansup.be

Fin de carrière
It might be a taboo, but any thoughts on how artists in the last stage of their career can stay relevant?
It’s something a lot of young and mid-career artists, probably don’t (or want to) realize: what to do when you still have 20 or 30 years to go, but your art and/or vision have become ‘less relevant’ and you find yourself slipping away in the background and falling off stage everywhere.

A friend artist announced officially the end of his career some years ago, but now is even more desperately trying to get back in a spotlight.
So that’s seems not a good Idea.
Pretend to be still young mostly results also in very cringe situations and so to be avoided.

What could be some of the more elegant and wise moves for the older artist to at least have a slight feeling she’s still part of the art scene/world?
How to age gracefully as an artist?
Any examples? 
I love that picture of Matisse in his bed playing with pieces of colored paper. 

In summary:
How to age gracefully as an artist (fin de carrière)? 
And maybe do fantasize how you both would like to imagine yourself as a 80 year old artist?
