- Self-Improvement
On episode 7, TALK podcast welcomes Mikka.
Dana and Mikka discuss Mikka’s career as a model and digital creator in Australia making audio-reactive and interactive art, working with objects in fictitious landscapes as well as different mechanisms to display art in a real-world environment. Mikka also shares how he gathers inspiration, deals with self-doubt, and how he uses high-pressure situations to his advantage.
More About Mikka.
Mikka tells us how he got into creating Snapchat and Instagram filters and shares his thoughts on them currently. Working with brands in so many different tangential ways Mikka understands what companies should be doing and how they should be doing it. He also explains his process in working with clients, which is really relationship-focused and sounds like such a pleasant experience. He recently completed a print design for Chanel and was featured in i-D magazine’s article, “Meet the digital artists bending our minds and futures.” When asked how he made it into the industry he answered, “Faked it till I made it.”
Why TALK loves Mikka -- It’s hard not to love such a multi-faceted individual! He models! He creates! He believes it’s more important to be clear in what you want to be doing when speaking with people, and sees having different jobs to be advantageous. He’s passionate about learning about other forms of currencies and the future of art going digital. Perhaps our favorite part was his perspective on the benefit of continuously putting out creative work. Mikka believes that it’s key in tackling self-doubt as well as to have work you can actually look back on to gauge how much you’ve improved. Expect to see more amazing digital creations from mikkapedia.
