Continuing our discussions with media arts "professional", this week's conversation is with Mark Henrickson. I first met Mark as a performer at the Spark Festival, and I have had the pleasure of performing with him on several occasions. But I also knew that he was active in the show production world - which these days involves multi-channel audio, amazing lighting rigs and projection-mapped video. So I wanted to talk to Mark about how he meshes this professional life with his personal artistic work, and how he uses influences in one area to open doors in the other.
I think this discussion gives a unique view into the background of a pro, but also provides some insight into the development of a personal artistic practices that is unique, recognizable and interesting. Enjoy!
