| Inside the Mind of JBV Creative - Episode 7 | 20 Sep 2023 | 00:49:05 | |
JBV creative brings together art and engineering through his mesmerizing kinetic sculptures. His videos capture the fascinating and intense process of bringing these ideas to life in a way that’s captivating to millions of viewers. When we met a few months ago, we immediately hit it off, and I thought he would be the perfect inaugural guest on this podcast. As part of Morley and Eden’s Grand Adventure, I want to interview creatives across North America in person, in the van, but for this episode, JBV’s whimsical Toronto studio felt like a much more interesting set than the unfinished van. We talk about how he pivoted from working at a toy company to creating his own inventions, the tensions between art, engineering and content creation, the creative process, finding fulfillment, plans for the future, and so much more.
