    The Craziest Thing About Being Creative: Virality & Visual Art with Vita Kari - S6 FINALE!! Ep 20

    WELCOME TO THE SEASON 6 FINALE!!! Today we are sitting down with Vita Kari: the visual and performance artist, virality researcher, creative icon, and social media master!! Tune in as we chat all about the lifelong artistic journey, and eventually their Masters Thesis, which lead to the creation of their series "The Craziest Thing About Being Creative" which has garnered millions of followers and hundreds of millions of views. Utilizing the power of the internet and strict research formulas, they tapped into an entirely new artistic medium - Viral Visual Art. Vita lets us into their artistic process behind the science of virality, even giving us a live demonstration of how to make one of their illusions (just like they did with Bella Haddid!).
