Geek A Week
52 Weeks. 52 Geeks. One Challenge.
52 Weeks. 52 Geeks. One Challenge.
In March 2010, I created Geek A Week as a year-long art project to attempt to connect with 52 influential geeks in 52 weeks. At the end of February 2011, I completed the project. (As of this writing, there are still four weeks left in the project.) In addition to the artwork, I recorded a majority of the interviews I did with each geek and turned them into podcasts. The project was covered by CNN, Yahoo News, The Onion A.V. Club and other media outlets. It was an amazing process and certainly a great opportunity to connect with many of my geek heroes including parody songster "Weird Al" Yankovic, Adam Savage, Grant Imahara and Kari Byron of Mythbusters, co-founder of Apple Computer, Steve Wozniak and author Neil Gaiman. All in all, it's a great cross-section of geek culture in 2010.
