S05E14: Athomas Goldberg: Experience Maker
Starting as a lighter and later designer for concerts and
plays in New York City, Athomas Goldberg never imagined
he’d be at the forefront of a new form of entertainment
but curiosity, necessity and a willingness to take chances
have led him to exactly that: a new frontier where live
entertainment and technology meet.
From the early days of experimenting with Ken Perlin at
NYU’s Media Research Lab, Athomas saw the possibility for
technology and performance to converge. While not
immediately apparent, each new career experience was
another step in bringing the two disparate disciplines
together.
Throughout our conversation, Athomas shares the
excitement and challenges of his time at the Media
Research Lab and how that led to him being an Artist in
Residence to a researcher. We also explore how his work
and career coincided with the rise of various
technologies, from mocap to real-time rendering, that have
shaped the work he does today and he shares some insight
into the future of this new form of storytelling.
