Making Conversation

Why Did We Ever Meet?

OwlTail

Carly Rae Jepsen

Jen Joyce

Jen's partner Lars joins her in this episode where they have a discussion about AI and art. Coming from the perspective of two creatives, they discuss the Victorian Industrial Revolution, the Beastie Boy's album Paul's Boutique, and technology's typical path in a capitalistic society. This all has a through line, we promise. ;)How can these times in the history of art and music creation inform where the future of AI and art will land?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Find Jen &amp; Lars in the Making app: @knitpurl@Mental4LentilAlso, they forgot to add in their moment of gratitude at the end so as to continue to spread goodness in the world, here they are: LarsI am grateful for my friends. I had a moment recently watching as the pandemic is starting to slip from our collective (short-term) memory and from our day-to-day lives — mask mandates are all but gone, popular restaurants and bars are full again, many of the once-pervasive visual cues of a global pandemic are disappearing — where I felt really lucky to have the friends I do, especially during the darkest moments of the lockdowns. Friends to share concerns with, friends to distract from the horror, friends to share art and music and poetry with, friends to talk with about the books we read together, friends to feel close to even as we FaceTimed from across the country or across the world.Anyways, yeah. Feeling really grateful to and lucky to know my chosen family.JenI am grateful for the opportunities that I have given myself to stop and celebrate wins. We move so quickly sometimes that it feels like we just have to go go go. Stop and give yourself a moment of cheer. Reflect back on how far you've come, even if it feels hard to give yourself that space. You're amazing and resilient and powerful and don't you forget it. ;) Music by Despatches. 💖Click! to learn more and become a member of our monthly crafty content membership, BRIGHT Collective.

Ep. 125 // a conversation about art, AI, using technology for good, and a special manifestation involving Carly Rae Jepsen w/ Lars Laing-Peterson & Jen Joyce

Did we think TikTok would lead to us finding incredible guests and new friendships? No, but here we are! Our guests this week are Jen Joyce and Lars Laing-Peterson. This couple has a lot in common with your hosts: One extrovert, one not so much. Jen is known to many on TikTok as knitpurl where she's created her own special community of tattooed knitters, crocheters, and all things maker. But how did she land on OUR radar? By acknowledging and celebrating what's known as the "elder emo". What's an elder emo? Well, if you're of a certain age, poured over getting your hands on The latest Emo Diaries comp, sported a Quicksand pin on your gas station worker's jacket, and made sure to include Samiam on your mixtapes for that person you're crushin' on to give yourself the right kinda cred...then you're an elder emo. Beyond the music discussion, we're 2 couples getting to know one another and you're privy to the first time meeting. They're wonderful folks who we feel like we'd known for 20 years. We had a blast with them and you can expect us to do it again. You can find Jen on TikTok (and Instagram &amp; Twitter) at: @knitpurl and you can find Lars on Instagram at: @larsgarvey
