VC | EP28 - Pao Olea - The Paowerful, Paorofessional, Paowerhouse Paogrammer & Paortist
Episode 28 is upon us and we have the amazing and POWERFUL @pao_olea, a super talented and big brain developer, Tech & Visual artist and VJ.
Pao has worked on some amazing projects including massive interactive installations at major museums across her home country Chile and in many other cities across the globe , blasting visuals for Richie Hawtin’s exclusive project “Prada Extends Miami" and is currently the creative director of a record label called Our Silent Canvas.
Her irreverent visual style echoes what we love on this podcast, the experimentation and exploration of generative and real-time art whilst maintaining unique and authentic expression.
She is also a major figure in the @TouchDesignerOfficial world as a dual language educator, offering her expertise in tech and visual art on her Patreon in Spanish and English, which I think is absolutely amazing.
For Paos SET she graciously shows us her unique VJ set up, takes us into some of her exclusive Patreon tutorials and even pokes around some older projects off of her Instagram. Its chock full of tidbits of information and absolute GOLD.
It was super awesome talking and chatting with Pao, she has so much to impart and hearing her experiences and stories was inspiring to say the least.
