*Private RSS* Interdependence 3 - Trevor McFedries (Brud / Lil Miquela)
Added 2020-05-19 19:28:11 +0000 UTCIn this episode we catch up with Trevor McFedries, founder of the meta media studio Brud (brud.fyi), whose digital avatar artist and influencer Lil Miquela recently caused a stir through signing with one of the worlds premier talent agencies, CAA.
We discuss the origins of the project, why he sees Miquela as more of a challenge to Mickey Mouse than human artists, and also some pretty bold ideas for how avatar led projects might help us reorganise the music industry to be more equitable.
