Bon Iver: Picturing the Man Who Wasn’t There

How have artists and designers continued to effectively come together during the global pandemic? As part of the 2021 Insights Design Lecture Series, Eric Timothy Carlson and Aaron Anderson created a visually vibrant media-rich experiment in Zoom dynamics (unofficial title: How to Be a Human), in which they discuss many of their shared projects, including the visual system for Bon Iver’s recent album i,i, which has been nominated for a Grammy and a 2020 Beazley Design of the Year award. The two designers were joined in conversation by several friends with whom they’ve worked over the years.
