    Ivy Insights

    The Good Point Podcast is an absolute gem that deserves far more recognition than it currently receives. As someone who has recently discovered this podcast, I am thoroughly impressed by the brilliant discussions and chemistry between hosts Rafael and Jeremy. It feels like I have stumbled upon my tribe of two, despite finding it eight months after they stopped making new episodes. Nonetheless, I am binge-listening to every episode and each one leaves me pondering for days. This podcast covers a vast range of topics including art, technology, business, science, and so much more.

    The best aspect of The Good Point Podcast is undoubtedly the dynamic between Rafael and Jeremy. Their banter and ability to riff off each other creates a comforting and enjoyable listening experience. I find myself constantly learning new things while feeling like I'm eavesdropping on an intriguing conversation between friends. Additionally, the fact that they provide links to all the references mentioned in each episode is truly commendable. It offers listeners an incredible insight into the minds of these two talented artists.

    One potential downside of this podcast is its lack of trending popularity in the Top 10 podcasts lists. It's baffling how such a brilliant show hasn't gained more recognition. However, as an avid listener, I appreciate the somewhat underground nature of this podcast as it gives it a unique appeal. Another minor drawback could be the unstructured format of the discussions. While I personally enjoy this natural conversational flow with varying asides, some listeners may prefer a more segmented approach with clearer structure.

    In conclusion, The Good Point Podcast is an intellectually stimulating yet accessible show that caters to individuals interested in art, technology, sociology, and their intersections. Rafael and Jeremy's relaxed conversations create an authentic listening experience that keeps you engaged throughout each episode. The diversity of topics covered provides listeners with valuable insights and references relevant to various professions or interests. Although there are minor areas for improvement such as structuring discussions or gaining more mainstream attention, this podcast remains an incredible source of knowledge and entertainment.

    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? + a field recording from Jeremy of Grandpa Earnie.

    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?

    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.

    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'! :) Flora Miranda https://floramiranda.com/

    Jesper Nørbæk writes: Hi Rafael and Jeremy, To answer your question from the podcast: Please don't be more "professional", it's impossible to concentrate on what a polished voice is actually saying. And you are definitely not talking too much about NFTs given how big of a shift it is. My question is about piles of files: How do you keep track of your piles of files and compare the versions of a time based work when it develops? With stills I have no challenge since it is easy to open 5 different instances and compare them, but with a time based work it quickly gets complicated. So have you come up with any strategies for managing versions of time based work? What strategies, systems, naming schemes or organizing principles have you found helpful? Rafael once mentioned that a new work he shared actually was a 6 year old sketch, which makes me think, how the hell do you find a 6 year old sketch in your piles of files? I have attached a field recording of trying to help a fly escape through a window. Thanks for doing the podcast, it has helped me a lot! Jesper https://soundcloud.com/codewalk
