THE SUPERNOVA PODCAST

Welcome to the Supernova Podcast, hosted by Anova Hou (@anovh). Today I had a conversation with Sian Raya (@punkgrrrlfriend), on her Riot grrrl zines, punk rock feminists, identity on the internet, modelling, and her hope for the new generation. It was so inspiring to hear her talk about her creative process and the tangibility of creating zines (self-published, usually short magazines with art + writing), growing up on the internet, and using art as activism. Thank you Sian for being on the podcast! I also included audio of Riot grrrl songs to enhance your listening experience...enjoy!

Welcome to the Supernova Podcast, a podcast on creativity, technology, and human existence. Today I spoke with Scott Langille on the infinite possibilities of creativity, process documentation, the impact of technology on society, and writing as a tool for reflection. We discuss how one defines oneself as a creative person and why creativity should be valued more within current systems. Thank you Scott for such an interesting and thought-provoking conversation, and enjoy the episode.

Transcending Digital Realities with Kofi Oduro

Welcome to the Supernova Podcast, where I speak about creativity, technology, and human existence. Sometimes I interview people who are much cooler than me. Today I interviewed Kofi Oduro (@illestpreacha), creative coder, programmer, and multimedia artist based in Montreal, Canada. His work combines videography, poetry, performance art, and code to highlight the realms of the human performance and the human mind in different scenarios. As Kofi writes on his website, with a dose of technology, there is an endless range of progress in human creative endeavors.

We had a fascinating and inspiring conversation on technology, art as activism, and how digital realities can be transcended by generating multi-dimensional experiences.

Kofi spoke about how identity, Black culture, poetry, and the power of play intersect to inspire his work, as well as the topics of live-coding, audiovisual mediums, algorithmic weaving, transcending the screen through multi-sense experiences, advice for new programmers, pursuit of knowledge, and the role of technology and art as activism. Thank you Kofi for being so generous with his wisdom and his time. All music and the cover art used in this podcast episode is created by Kofi Oduro.
