Arts Management and Technology Laboratory
This monthly podcast explores the intersection of technology and arts management through interviews, product reviews, humorous dialogue, and more! The Technology in the Arts podcast is produced by the Arts Management and Technology Lab, a research center of the Master of Arts Management program in Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University. The AMT Lab staff currently includes Dr. Brett Crawford (Executive Director), Lutie Rodriguez (Chief Editor of Research), Angela Johnson (Podcast Producer), B Crittenden (Technology and Interactive Content Manager), and Devyn Hinkle (Social Media and Marketing Manager).

AMT Lead Researcher, Hannah Brainard talks with David Lublin, a video artist, programmer, and performer based in Brooklyn, NY. Lublin is the co-owner of VIDVOX, a software company specializing in tools for real-time video mixing. In this podcast, they discuss the field of video instrumentalism, or ‘VJing,’ and how Lublin’s unique background as a mathematician and artist helped carve a path for his career. Since first checking out equipment at his university library, the pursuit of advancing his own artistic output has helped Lublin develop tools for fellow artists. Looking ahead, Lublin anticipates myriad opportunities for emerging technology in the field, including enhanced experience and audience connectedness through immersive augmented and virtual reality.
