Stage Crew Engineering with Pete Doherty
Pete Doherty
unpacks the behind-the-scenes work that enables experiential projects to run.
Pete frames creative technology as experience-making:
building the kind of systems that power museum installs, gallery pieces, location-based entertainment, and other tech-enabled environments where the audience
is meant to feel something.
From there, Pete shares a high-stakes red-carpet build with Fake
Love: a wall of Windows hybrid devices used to showcase
fan-submitted “light side / dark side” performances at the debut of Star
Wars: The Force Awakens. The conversation highlights what success
looks like in these moments: coordinated playback across a fleet of
devices, networking reliability under pressure, and the practical
reality that creative ambition often depends on careful operational
engineering.
Pete then describes an ambitious multi-vendor integration:
the Meta Store (circa 2020), built as a physical showcase for
metaverse product demos at Meta’s Burlingame campus. We revisit
the “stage crew engineering” theme: DevOps for reproducibility and
recovery and using infrastructure-as-code to rebuild quickly.
The episode closes with a peek into Pete’s
prototyping preferences (Elm and its fork Gren) and candid notes on
where AI coding tools help, and where niche stacks still stump them.
